Neck Pain Treatment in Auckland CBD
Neck pain is becoming an epidemic as significant screen time and computer use cause poor posture. We regularly see patients with preventable neck pain at City Chiropractic. We’ll start with an accurate diagnosis before providing corrective care and educating you on how to prevent discomfort, so you can stay healthy and comfortable long term.
Diagnosing the Root Cause of Pain
Most patients experiencing neck pain have a forward head carriage, meaning they regularly carry their heads too far forward. You should hold your head even with your back and shoulders. Constantly leaning over a device retrains your muscles to push your head forward.
A forward head posture overloads and compresses the discs in the neck, putting pressure on the nervous system and restricting healthy nerve flow. As a result, you may experience discomfort, stiffness, or limited range of motion.
It’s possible to have low-level issues you’re not even aware of. Problems don’t always present as pain. Some people have a limited range of motion, only turning their heads a bit because it hurts to move quickly.
Others aren’t aware of the issue until a range of motion test uncovers a limitation they’ve been living with. If you have trouble moving your neck in any direction, that’s a sign that you may have an underlying issue and should come in for an evaluation as soon as possible.
How We May Help
Dr Laurie (Chiropractor) starts by identifying the root cause of dysfunction to rule out any medical concern. If your problem is related to the spine, we’ll make careful adjustments to the vertebrae.
Over several sessions, you should begin to notice restored movement. Your body will then start to restore itself as it regains nerve flow and clears up discomfort on its own.
