Comprehensive Neck Pain Diagnosis & Relief at ProHealth Chiropractic

Our approach to treating neck pain goes far beyond just temporary relief. We begin with a thorough examination to identify and correct the root cause of your discomfort. Using advanced diagnostic techniques, we assess your cervical spine’s alignment, muscle tension patterns, and range of motion. 

This comprehensive evaluation allows us to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses both your immediate pain and its underlying causes. Your plan may include specific chiropractic adjustments, as well as recommendations for other therapies, and at-home care.

What sets our approach apart is our commitment to long-term solutions rather than quick fixes. While medications might temporarily mask neck pain, our care plans address the structural issues causing your discomfort. 

We understand that healing takes time, and your treatment plan will progress through several phases:

  • Relief Care: Focusing on reducing immediate pain and discomfort
  • Corrective Care: Addressing underlying structural issues
  • well-being care: Preventing future problems and maintaining optimal neck health

Every patient’s journey to recovery is unique. Some experience significant relief after just a few treatments, while others with chronic conditions may need more extensive care. Factors that influence your healing timeline include:

  • How long you've had neck pain
  • Your daily activities and habits
  • Overall health and lifestyle factors
  • The underlying cause of your condition
  • Previous injuries or trauma

For optimal results, we may recommend starting with multiple visits per week, gradually decreasing frequency as your condition improves. Many patients choose to continue with periodic maintenance visits to prevent future issues and maintain their improved neck health.

Advanced Chiropractic Care for Chronic & Acute Neck Pain

Your neck, also known as the cervical spine, is a remarkable but delicate structure. The first vertebra, called C1 or Atlas, is uniquely shaped like a ring to allow for maximum mobility of your head. This specialized vertebra has the crucial role of protecting your brainstem as it exits the skull and transitions into your spinal cord. 

Just below it, the C2 vertebra (called the Axis) has a distinctive design that fits precisely with C1, working together like a well-engineered pivot system to enable the rotational movements of your head.

When these upper cervical vertebrae become misaligned, even slightly, it can create significant problems throughout your body. Because the brainstem and numerous vital nerve pathways pass through this area, any pressure or irritation can disrupt essential communication between your brain and body. This disruption can lead to not only neck pain and stiffness but also headaches, dizziness, and even impacts on your nervous system’s overall function. 

That’s why precise diagnosis and gentle adjustment of these vertebrae is often key to resolving both neck pain and related symptoms.

  • Whiplash and auto accident injuries
  • Tech neck from prolonged device use
  • Sports injuries and trauma
  • Stress and tension
  • Herniated cervical discs
  • Poor workplace ergonomics
  • Sleep position issues
  • Degenerative conditions
  • Pinched nerves

What makes neck pain particularly challenging is its tendency to create a cascade of other problems. Many of our patients initially seek help for neck pain but are also experiencing

  • Chronic headaches or migraines
  • Numbness or tingling in the arms
  • Reduced range of motion
  • Problems concentrating
  • Shoulder tension and pain
  • Upper back discomfort
  • Difficulty sleeping

5/5

Such a pro-active and friendly team right through from reception to the treatment rooms. In my case, they were able to assess, identify and target 20 years worth of neck pain accurately. They have achieved effective pain relief for myself during a recent unbearable flare-up. They use a combined in-house approach, moving me between chiropractor and rehab therapist where each is kept on the same page with regards to your overall treatment objective. Worth giving these guys a try I would say!
