Neck Pain Treatment and Prevention from Our Woodlands Chiropractor Team
Most people have neck pain from time to time. Sometimes neck pain can become so intense or so persistent that it begins to impair a person's quality of life and daily function. When you have concerns about neck pain, we encourage you to connect with our chiropractor in The Woodlands, TX, and Houston, TX, and get started on an individualized chiropractic care plan. We're here to help you find relief and understand why your neck pain developed in the first place.
Why Does My Neck Hurt?
Sometimes our patients can tell us exactly why their necks hurt. Other times, neck pain comes seemingly "out of nowhere" or comes on for no real reason. After some investigation, we can usually tease out some common back pain and neck pain risk factors, including:
- Female gender
- Advancing age
- Repetitive overhead movements
- Posture problems while sleeping, driving, sitting, and standing
- Heavy backpacks and purses
- Stress
Specific conditions associated with neck pain include whiplash (forceful flexion and extension of the neck, usually seen in falls, sports injuries, and car accidents), muscle strains, cervical stenosis (narrowing of bony openings in the cervical spine), and cervical neuropathy or radiculopathy (compression of nerves as they leave the spinal cord).
In some cases, there is no clear underlying cause of neck pain. In these "idiopathic" cases, people still respond very well to chiropractic care.
Chiropractic Care for Neck Pain: Your Drug-Free Options
When you work with our Houston or The Woodlands chiropractor for neck pain, expect a thorough physical examination and medical history evaluation. Based on our examination, we'll implement a tailored treatment plan that will help you start feeling better right away.
Popular neck pain treatments we offer include:
- MLS Laser Therapy: light waves from a deep tissue robotic laser painlessly interact with tissues and cells to promote increased energy production, blood flow, reduced inflammation, and increased healing
- Disc decompression: gentle non-surgical decompression of spinal discs in the neck helps realign discs and joints to relieve pressure on spinal nerves
- Myofascial release therapy: ease trigger points in muscles and fascia to ease tension and improve circulation to injured areas
- Chiropractic adjustments: realign your entire spinal column and trigger natural cervical joint pain and nerve pain relief
We complement all our hands-on services with holistic care, including regenerative medicine, corrective exercises, and lifestyle and nutritional counseling.
