Neck Pain Sufferers Find Relief With Midlothian Chiropractor

By Matt Chaderia


Neck pains are regularly addressed in Midlothian VA chiropractic offices.

It is a common misconception that chiropractors only deal with lower back pain, because in truth, they routinely address all varieties of spinal issues, including those in the neck.

If you have a stiff or painful neck, then it is entirely possible that you have a subluxation - a misalignment - of the cervical spine, or an imbalance where the skull rests on the top of the neck. Problems in the neck can also cause pain in the shoulders, arms and hands - and even headaches. Neck pain is common - about 15% of US adults will experience it in any given year.

Neck pains can appear suddenly following certain types of injury, or they may gradually develop over time. Most commonly, they result from sprains or strains which typically heal rather quickly, although it is possible that vertebral disc issues or arthritis causing irritation in nerve bundles could also be the culprit.

Regardless of the root cause, chiropractors can help with the issue, including those developing as strains and sprains from bad sleep positions, automobile accidents, sports injuries, or poor posture. The common action of holding a phone between one's head and shoulder routinely, or for a prolonged time, could bring about such discomforts.

Some chiropractors will spend hours fixing a simple neck problem and talk you into extra services such as massage or nutritional counseling. Most likely, though, you just need a simple adjustment and perhaps some advice on a better sitting or sleeping position to help prevent recurrence. Neck pain interferes with your life - and taking painkillers for it can also interfere in what you want to do. A chiropractor will not, and there is no reason for a simple adjustment to take any length of time.

People dealing with neck discomfort on any level could benefit from contacting a local chiropractor to find out how they might help in alleviating the problem.
