Your Neck (cervical spine) is one of the most susceptible parts of your body that can be easily injured. Problems relating to the bones, muscles, and ligaments in the vertebrae that support your head are very common in my daily practice here in Plano, TX. More and more people are utilizing my services for treating their pain and injuries for both their neck and spine. I offer gentle, but effective therapy which addresses the mechanical (how the spine and vertebrae moves) and neurological (nerve-related) causes of various pain conditions associated with the neck and back.
Why You should consider a Chiropractor
Education, Experience and Knowledge: I've spent countless hours of learning about chronic neck pain conditions through my formal education at Parker College here in Dallas, TX., along with investing a tremendous amount time on continual education and hands on training to keep current on the latest and most effective techniques for diagnosing and treating the different types of neck related injuries and disorders. You wouldn't ask your family doctor to perform heart surgery, nor would you ask them to diagnose your neck problems. My knowledge of the nervous system and how it works within the frame work of the spine, joints, muscles, and through out your entire body, allows me to successfully diagnose the root cause of the pain, which others in the medical profession might sometimes miss.
Chiropractic care is a specialty that focuses on you as the "whole person". We don't focus solely on your neck; we also look at your lifestyle, nutrition, stress management, and other health factors to determine all the possible causes of why your neck or back hurts. A combination of any of these can add to your pain, so as doctors we address all the issues to help alleviate and relieve your pain. The following are some of the more common conditions I see when treating injuries or pain related to the neck.
Chiropractic Works on These Neck Conditions
Whiplash injuries
Spinal Stenosis
Non surgical cervical disc injury
Neck sprain injuries
Spinal joint restriction
Facet joint sprain
Degenerative joint condition of the neck
Chiropractic Alternative Treatments for Neck Pain
Once I've completed my exam, reviewed the x-rays, MRI (optional), and pinpointed the area that needs treatment, I can prescribe a specific therapy for helping the patient resolve their pain and return to normal activities. A significant amount of pain related issues that affect the spine and nerves can be treated with any combination of spinal manipulation (adjustments), massage therapy, cold laser, electric muscle stimulation, along with various chiropractic instruments that help speed the healing process.
Use of spinal decompression adjustments will assist in returning your neck and your spine back to normal, helping muscles relax, resumed flexibility, normal blood flow, and lessening the pain. Beyond spinal decompression, there are various forms of subscribed therapy and specialized equipment and instruments I use to treat the wide range of neck conditions I listed above.
Forms of Manual Therapy
trigger point therapy
manual joint stretching and resistance techniques
therapeutic massage
instrument-assisted soft tissue therapy
Along with adjustments and manual therapy, I will combine these with different instruments I use to treat muscle soreness and inflammation. These electronic devices are used to relax the muscles. You may have already heard these terms before, but here are (3) devices I use quite a bit: Ultrasound, electrical muscle stimulation, and Cold Laser Therapy. I don't consider prescribing any treatment program without also recommending different therapeutic exercises my patients can do at home, both while I'm treating them and afterwards to make sure they prevent a recurrence of this from happening again.
Prevention exercise is imperative for anyone who wants to enjoy long-term health and as your back and neck specialist I strongly emphasize it. If you can learn how to prevent recurring health issues with your neck and spine by using proper stretching and exercise mechanics, focused balance, and good posture, you'll be doing your body a favor that will last for years to come.
