Treatment of Neck Pain
In most cases, neck pain does not indicate anything serious and disappears after a few days of self-care. Self-care includes rest and elimination of all activities that can worsen the pain. One of the most effective self-care methods is cryotherapy. Applying ice to an injury for 15-20 minutes every couple of hours can help reduce inflammation and pain in the neck. If self-care does not help, there are other methods available:
- Physical therapy, the purpose of which is to improve the neck flexibility and strength,
- Alternative treatment options. They include manual manipulation, massage therapy, acupuncture, and mindful meditation. Alternative treatments are usually chosen by people who experience strong side effects from medications.
Can a Chiropractor Help?
Chiropractic adjustments help reduce neck pain and improve the health of the spine in general. A chiropractor uses manual manipulation to improve the mobility of the spine, restore range of motion, and eliminate neck pain. Sometimes, chiropractors also use special manual therapies, such as instrument-assisted tissue therapy, resistance techniques, massage therapy, and joint stretching.
