Neck Pain Alleviated Naturally With Chiropractic Care

By Fernando Ketter


If you suffer with pain in your neck it is important that you know what is causing it so that it can be alleviated. Injuries to the neck can happen in a car accident. The sudden force of impact in an accident will result in whiplash. Seeing a Denver chiropractor will help to naturally relieve the pain and discomfort you experience.

Vertebrae begin at the base of your skull and run down the spine. These small bones support the entire weight of your head which weighs about twelve pounds. The cervical spine can move in such a way to let folks turn their head in a number of positions. Unfortunately, because the spine is so flexible it puts folks at risk for injury.

Commonly, whiplash is an injury that results from a car collision. The vertebrae in the neck are jolted so suddenly and with such force that this jolt throws the head to the front and then snaps it backward. The trusting movement causes damage to the surrounding tissue in the head, shoulders, and neck. This is a very painful injury that a chiropractic practitioner will work to alleviate.

There are many other things that will cause folks to have pain in the neck area. Degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, and osteoarthritis can cause severe neck discomfort. People are able to find solutions to pain associated with the disorders when they seek the help of a practitioner.

Pain in the neck can be caused by improper or poor posture, weak abdominal muscles, and obesity can result. Typically, a person bends the neck forward as a way of compensating for these conditions. In addition, stress can cause muscles to tense that will result in a painful stiff neck.

The chiropractic care professional will complete an exam to find the root of the pain. When the cause has been identified an individualized plan for therapy is developed. Therapy is planned according to the individual needs of the patient.
