Chiropractic Treatment for Neck Pain in Lakewood, CO

With so much time spent on computers and devices, neck pain is increasingly common—but that doesn’t mean it’s normal. Some of the symptoms associated with neck pain include:

• Muscle tightness and spasms
• Migraines and headaches
• Limited range of motion
• Pain that is aggravated by holding the head in the same position for extended periods of time (as with sitting at a desk using a computer)

The best way to treat neck pain is to first determine what is causing it. Neck pain can be caused by:

• Car accidents
• Strains and sprains
• Too much screen time
• Improper sleep position
• Bone misalignments
• Fixations
• Cervical disc problems

At your first appointment, we will assess the current condition of your neck to see if it has lost part of its curve or if there has been degeneration in the discs.

The curve in your neck is important; in a healthy body, the neck’s curve places the head in a precise position centered above the shoulders. This distributes the weight of your head evenly, putting equal amounts of pressure on each of the discs in the spine.

If the head is moved forward slightly—something common in patients who spend a lot of time on computers and devices—the amount of pressure on the neck and upper back increases. The result is chronic neck pain as well as back pain and headaches.

Our chiropractors help alleviate neck pain using spinal manipulation and a home care regimen that includes exercises and stretches to improve your posture for long-term relief.
