Chiropractic Methods Provide Auto Accident Relief Tallahassee

By Darcy Gautreau


The human neck is comprised of vertebral bones set in a flexible column and capable of supporting the full weight of an individual's head. It has a particular susceptibility to mobility limiting injuries and detrimental conditions like degenerative disc disease and infections. When damage is done to the ligaments, soft tissue, muscles, or tendons in this area - especially in vehicular collisions - pain can manifest. There are several chiropractic techniques designed to deliver auto accident relief Tallahassee.

Dealing With Nerve Compression

Messages are sent throughout the body by nerves that extend from the brain and spinal chord. When these nerves are compressed, pain is sent to the body as a warning sign. One of the most common causes of nerve compression is repetitive motions such as folding an arm and sleeping on it or holding the body in one position for an extended amount of time. When nerves are compressed between tissues such as bone, tendons and ligaments, the pressure may radiate down the neck and down the spine causing back pain.

Chronic Disorders

Rheumatoid and spondylosis are common causes of neck pain and often occur due to aging and the degeneration of the neck bones. Both causes are known to cause neck discomfort, stiffness and pain. Other symptoms of cervical spondylosis includes neck crackling or popping, trouble sleeping and pain that radiates in both arms. Rheumatoid arthritis commonly affects the joints of the wrists and joints, but can also affect bones in the neck, causing great discomfort and pain.

Strained Muscles

Repetitively looking at a smartphone, sitting at a desk for long periods of time on front of a computer combined with poor posture can lead to muscle strain. Grinding the teeth during sleep and even driving a car for an extended time without standing and stretching can lead to neck pain.

While many people thing that joint pain is something only to worry about when one is older, studies show that approximately 65% of individuals aged 18-34 experience chronic neck discomfort. Seeking the assistance of a qualified chiropractic professional as early as possible can help identify what is causing the pains and begin a tactical approach plan to alleviate the situation and improve one's mobility.
