Frequently Asked Questions About Neck Pain
​
1. What are the most common causes of neck pain?
Neck pain is commonly caused by poor posture, prolonged desk or device use, muscle strain, joint dysfunction, repetitive stress, car accident/whiplash injuries, and workplace-related strain. Degenerative changes or disc irritation can also contribute.
2. Can a chiropractor help with neck pain?
Yes. The Chiropractors at Associate Chiropractic are trained to assess and treat mechanical neck pain. Chiropractic care focuses on restoring joint mobility, reducing muscle tension, improving posture, and addressing contributing factors to help reduce pain and improve function.
3. Is chiropractic treatment for neck pain safe?
When provided by a licensed chiropractor following a proper clinical assessment, chiropractic care is considered safe for most patients. Treatment techniques are selected based on the individual’s condition, comfort level, and medical history.
4. How many chiropractic visits are needed for neck pain?
The number of visits depends on the severity, cause, and duration of the neck pain. Some patients experience improvement within a few visits, while others may require a structured treatment plan focused on recovery and prevention.
5. Can neck pain cause headaches?
Yes. Neck pain can lead to cervicogenic headaches, which originate from joints or muscles in the cervical spine. Treating the underlying neck dysfunction often reduces headache frequency and intensity.
6. When should I see a chiropractor for neck pain?
You should consider chiropractic care if neck pain lasts more than a few days, limits movement, interferes with work or sleep, or follows an injury such as a motor vehicle accident or workplace incident.
7. Do I need imaging before chiropractic treatment?
In most cases, imaging such as X-rays or MRIs is not required. Chiropractors determine the need for imaging based on clinical findings, symptoms, and red flags identified during the assessment.
