Neck pain is a common issue that can range from mild discomfort to severe, lingering pain. For many, the experience of neck pain may be concerning, but the reassuring news is that neck pain is rarely a sign of something serious. When seeking help from a chiropractor for neck pain, patients often find relief through a combination of manual treatments, such as spinal adjustments and soft tissue release, advice on exercises and lifestyle and reassurance.
Can a Chiropractor Help with Neck Pain?
The answer is very often yes – Our chiropractors at Transform Wellness are well-trained in assessing and managing neck pain through non-invasive methods that focus on promoting natural healing and improving neck function and pain.
When you visit a chiropractor in Epsom for neck pain, you’ll undergo a thorough assessment, where our chiropractor’s will look at your medical history, daily habits, and the specifics of your neck pain. This comprehensive evaluation allows them to pinpoint the underlying cause of your pain and develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Here’s what you might expect during a visit:
-
Hands-On Adjustments – Chiropractors use precise, gentle adjustments to help improve neck alignment. These adjustments can reduce muscle strain, alleviate joint inflammation, and relieve pressure, providing significant pain relief for many patients. Chiropractic adjustments are safe, controlled movements aimed at restoring balance to the neck.
-
Soft Tissue Therapy – In addition to adjustments at Tranaform Wellness in Surrey our sports therapists may use soft tissue therapy techniques, such as myofascial release, to relax tight muscles around the neck and shoulders. These methods help release tension and improve blood flow to the affected areas.
-
Lifestyle and Posture Guidance – Chiropractors often provide practical advice on posture, ergonomics, and lifestyle adjustments to help prevent recurring neck pain. For instance, they may recommend changes to your workstation setup, exercises to strengthen supportive muscles and general advise on keeping active and mobile.
-
Home Exercises and Stretches – Our rehab specialists may prescribe specific exercises to help strengthen neck muscles and improve flexibility. These exercises are designed to support the treatment provided in-office and help you maintain progress at home.
It’s understandable to feel concerned about neck pain, especially if it’s persistent or interfering with daily activities. However, most cases of neck pain are treatable and not serious. By addressing the root causes chiropractic care offers an effective way to manage neck pain without the need for medication or surgery. Neck pain is the second most common condition that people see a chiropractor for, so when you work with a chiropractor for neck pain you can rest assured that it is something they will have seen many times before.
