The neck features muscles, bones, and ligaments that support your head. When any of these structures become strained, you can experience pain in the neck area. Neck pain can also occur due to an injury to any of these supporting tissues. An injury can happen due to:

- Issues with the spine. For instance, when one part of the vertebrae slides over another vertebra.
Neck pain can range from minor to excruciating and debilitating and may cause symptoms such as:
- Stiff neck
- Limited range of motion
- Sharp or stabbing pain
- Radiating pain that can extend to the shoulders, head, arms, and fingers.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help Treat Neck Pain
Chiropractic care helps to alleviate pain and discomfort around the neck area. This routine involves non-invasive methods that reduce misalignments in the spine and joint restriction. By improving the function of the affected joint and the nervous system, your body will be able to manage the discomfort in the neck.
A chiropractor will perform a consultation and examination if necessary. He can even recommend an X-ray of MRA to find the root of the neck pain and discomfort. Based on the findings, your chiropractor can develop a specialized treatment plan. The chiropractic techniques for neck adjustment involve:
- Cervical mobilization:This chiropractic treatment method focuses on reducing pain and improving range of motion. A chiropractor uses gentle motions to reduce stress on the neck area.
- Cervical drop:cervical drop focuses on releasing tension in the spine that could spread to the neck. A chiropractor uses a table with segments that can be lifted or dropped down. The drop allows gravity to work in combination with spinal adjustments.
- Cervical manual traction:Your chiropractor will move your head at different angles to determine the best angle to reduce the stiffness of the neck.
- Soft tissue technique:A chiropractor can apply this treatment method after full adjustment. It involves gentle massage on the neck while applying pressure to the inflamed regions. This helps to prevent tense muscles from contracting and enhances blood circulation.
