How to Relieve Neck Pain with a Chiropractor

Neck pain can be debilitating and reduce your range of motion, which may affect your work productivity and prevent you from completing household tasks. At De Melo Chiropractic in Boise, ID, we offer various treatments to reduce your symptoms and help you heal. Before scheduling an appointment, learn about some common causes of neck pain below:

Common Causes of Neck Pain

Some of the most common causes of neck pain in individuals of all ages include:

• Whiplash: A sudden movement, impact, or jolt in the neck, such as from a car accident, can result in pain, stiffness, and neck injuries
• Posture: Poor posture is a leading cause of neck pain, contributing to unnecessary strain in the neck and back
• Herniated or Bulging Discs: Spinal discs that are herniated or bulging are more likely to press on cervical nerves, leading to discomfort
• Certain Conditions: Additional conditions, such as Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) or scoliosis may also contribute to strain and inflammation in the cervical area of the spine
• Injuries: Physical injuries or trauma can cause stiffness, inflammation, and pain in the neck

Treatments for Neck Pain

At our practice, we utilize multiple methods when treating back pain. Some of these methods include:

• Soft Tissue Therapy: Soft tissue massage therapy and myofascial release can help alleviate discomfort and muscle tension through targeted massages and gentle pressure.
• Stretches: Strengthening exercise and stretches improve flexibility and make the surrounding cervical muscles stronger.
• Adjustments: Spinal adjustments help reduce nerve irritation, increase range of motion, and help enhance the body's natural healing processes.
• Postural Exercises: Our chiropractor can also help improve your posture by recommending exercises you can do at home and suggesting ergonomic furniture to help relieve discomfort.
