Neck Pain Treatment at Our Well-Equipped Adelaide Clinic

Neck pain and neck injuries can be alarming to experience. The neck is highly mobile with intricate components, therefore susceptible to injury. Not only is the neck crucial for movement and stabilisation of our head; it’s hard-wired into the balance and posture centres of our nervous system.

And yet, neck pain ranks fourth in the world’s most common disabling factors, taking its toll on approximately 10% of adults at any one time.

What are the most common causes of neck pain?

Typically, neck pain is movement or posture related – this might mean not enough movement, repetitive movement, or incorrect movement. Your posture or positioning during activities is important. Being hunched over a computer, sleeping in awkward positions, slouching on the couch, or looking down at your phone often leads to neck pain.

Neck pain might also be related to recent or past injuries, like a car accident or sports injury.

Acute pain can be caused by inflammation, due to a muscle or tendon strain, joint or ligament sprain, or nerve injury. Many neck muscles extend to the shoulders and upper back, stabilising one area while the other moves. This is one reason why neck pain is commonly accompanied by pain in the shoulders or upper back, and vice versa.

Our body rarely moves or stabilises one region in isolation – this means that our mid-back, hips and lower back are functionally connected to our neck. Therefore, issues in our mid and lower body can cause or complicate neck pain and discomfort.

There are other symptoms that can accompany neck pain. You might be experiencing headaches, restricted movement, numbness, tingling, muscle weakness and altered posture. You might also notice symptoms extending to your shoulder, arm or hand. Balance and coordination can also be affected by neck pain.

If you’re experiencing neck pain and/or any of the additional symptoms mentioned here, you may benefit from an assessment from our qualified and experienced chiropractors for neck pain treatment at our Adelaide clinic.

FAQs

Can chiropractic adjustments cause neck pain to worsen?

It's not uncommon for some patients to experience temporary discomfort or mild soreness after a chiropractic adjustment, particularly if their neck pain stems from long-standing issues or acute injury. However, these symptoms are generally short-lived and should subside within 24 to 48 hours. Our chiropractors at SA Wellness Centre use precise and tailored techniques to ensure the adjustments are as comfortable as possible. It's important to communicate with your chiropractor about how you feel during and after treatment, as this feedback allows for adjustments to the treatment plan as necessary. The goal of chiropractic care is to relieve pain and improve function, not to exacerbate symptoms. If any discomfort does occur, it's usually part of the natural healing process as the body adjusts to the changes made during treatment.

What lifestyle changes might a chiropractor recommend to help with neck pain?

To complement chiropractic treatments for neck pain, our chiropractors may suggest various lifestyle modifications to help prevent future discomfort and enhance overall wellbeing. These recommendations could include ergonomic adjustments to your workstation to ensure proper posture while sitting or standing, incorporating specific exercises or stretches into your daily routine to strengthen the neck and upper back muscles, and adopting healthier sleeping habits, such as choosing a supportive pillow and mattress. Additionally, stress management techniques such as mindfulness or yoga might be advised, as tension can often contribute to neck pain. These lifestyle changes, combined with regular chiropractic care, can significantly improve neck pain and prevent its recurrence.

How do chiropractors diagnose the cause of neck pain?

Diagnosing the cause of neck pain involves a comprehensive approach that starts with a detailed patient history and physical examination. Our chiropractors at SA Wellness Centre will inquire about any specific incidents that led to the pain, the nature and duration of the symptoms, and any activities or positions that exacerbate or alleviate the discomfort. The physical examination may include assessing range of motion, muscle strength, nerve function, and palpation of the neck to identify areas of tenderness or misalignment. In some cases, diagnostic imaging tests such as X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans may be recommended to obtain a clearer view of the spine's structure and identify any underlying issues contributing to the neck pain. This thorough diagnostic process ensures that the chiropractic treatment plan is precisely tailored to address the root cause of the neck pain, providing the most effective relief.

Is chiropractic treatment for neck pain safe?

Chiropractic care is widely recognised as a safe and effective treatment for neck pain, particularly when performed by a licensed and experienced chiropractor. At SA Wellness Centre, our chiropractors are highly trained professionals who use gentle, controlled techniques to minimise risk and ensure patient comfort. While some clients may experience mild soreness or discomfort following treatment, these effects are typically temporary and subside within 24 hours. Our chiropractors prioritise patient safety and will discuss any potential risks or side effects with you before beginning treatment, ensuring you are fully informed and comfortable with the care plan.
