How A Winnipeg Chiropractor Alleviates Neck Pain Naturally

By Hellen Moare


Pain in the neck? A lot of people think that a Winnipeg chiropractor can only help with pain lower down in the spine. The neck, however, experiences a lot of strain from carrying your heavy head around, and from sitting in one position.

Neck pain can be the result of a number of different things. For instance, whiplash, associated with auto accidents, is caused by an abrupt and forceful jolt to the head. The movement can be side to side or back to front and injures the muscles and damages the cervical spine. Whiplash can also occur when playing contact sports. In addition, degenerative disc disease can also damage the neck causing pain.

A lot of neck pain is caused by poor posture and/or a bad sleeping position. A chiropractor can offer advice on your posture, which can reduce pain in the neck and referred pain into the arms. Techniques such as the Blair Upper Cervical that are specially designed to deal with neck pain issues are often employed, along with postural advice and stretches designed to strengthen the neck and restore range of motion.

When vertebrae are forced out of position, spinal adjustments can move them back in to proper alignment. Spinal adjustments are gentle and some folks will not even notice them.

Chiropractic care has been shown to be safe and very effective in relieving neck pain. The therapies applied do not include pain medications or surgeries. Chiropractic methods are an all natural alternative to traditional medicine. This approach can relieve and often eliminate pain with non invasive and gentle techniques, and avoid the harmful affects of prescription drugs.

If you have chronic or acute neck pain, consider contacting a quality practitioner for a consultation. They will be able to look at your neck and upper back and establish a plan of care to restore mobility and relieve pain.
