Chiropractic Treatment for Neck Pain in Atlanta, GA

Even though neck pain is a common complaint, that doesn’t mean it’s normal. If you have neck pain, you may experience:

• Muscle tightness and spasms
• Migraines and headaches
• Limited range of motion
• Pain that is aggravated by holding the head in the same position for extended periods of time (as with sitting at a desk using a computer)

As with most chiropractic care, treatment begins by attempting to identify the underlying cause of your neck pain. Common causes include:

• Car accidents
• Strains and sprains
• Too much screen time
• Improper sleep position
• Bone misalignments
• Fixations
• Cervical disc problems

The next step in treatment is to assess the current state of your neck. Has it lost part of its curve? Do we see degeneration in the discs?

The curve in your neck is critical. In a healthy body, it positions the head right above the shoulders, distributing the weight evenly in order to exert the same amount of pressure on each of the discs in the spine. A head that’s moved forward slightly—something that’s common with people who spend a lot of time on computers, phones, and tablets—places much more pressure on the neck and upper back. This leads to chronic neck pain and also back pain and headaches.

Our chiropractors treat neck pain with spinal adjustments as well as stretches and exercises that can be performed at home to support better posture.
