Neck Pain Treatments

Neck pain can be caused by many things. It can be as simple as sleeping in the wrong position to serious things like a ruptured disc. Getting the correct diagnosis is imperative to receiving the right treatment. Dr.Todd Thompson of Health 360 in Temple, TX will provide the personalized chiropractic care you need to deal with your neck pain. 

Heat

When you have neck pain, heat can give you some relief depending on why you have it. Heat is good for stiffness. It helps to relax the muscles and increase circulation in the area. This is not always the right therapy. If your neck has sustained an injury that may have caused internal trauma, it may be that applying cold would be a better option, at least until you have the correct diagnosis. 

Massage

When your neck is stiff and sore, and you can feel the tension in it, nothing feels better than a massage of your neck and shoulders. Massage can relieve stiffness and tension and allow you to move your neck again. The relaxation that results from a massage can go a long way to making you feel better and enjoy the sensation of well-being. 

Chiropractic adjustments

Chiropractic adjustment allows the chiropractor to correct misalignments that may be causing your body to function less efficiently than it should. When the vertebrae have become misaligned, messages from the brain can not flow freely. Correcting that can help to relieve pain caused by pressure on the nerves. Joints that are in the correct position are also able to bear weight more evenly, and soft tissues don’t have to stretch as far over them.

Therapeutic exercise

Therapeutic exercises are targeted at your particular pain and its cause. Your chiropractor will design a plan that works for you. Necks respond very well to stretches and there are quite a few exercises that you can do at home to increase the flexibility and strength of your neck. 

Traction therapy

Traction therapy stretches the spine and the stretch moves the vertebrae farther apart so that the pressure can be taken off the discs that are located in the neck.
