NECK PAIN
Want out of pain fast? Our chiropractors & massage therapists are here to help
Chiropractic and massage therapy are non-invasive therapies that are ideal for relieving pain and treating the underlying cause or condition leading to your discomfort. These remedies effectively ease your neck pain without the need for surgery or prescription painkillers.
When you receive a chiropractic adjustment for your neck pain from Milwaukie Auto Injury Chiropractic, we use spinal adjustment techniques to repair ligament (collagen) tissue to correct joint pain and increase movement.
You may get neck pain for one of the following reasons:
- You suffered an accident injury like whiplash.
- You fell or tripped, and your neck’s structural integrity has been altered. Ligament damage has also occurred.
- You were exposed to a long period of neck and spinal stress from something such as poor posture.
In these cases, the joints in your spine are attached to one another through ligament tissue. When this tissue suffers structural damage, you may experience painful joints. Essentially, your vertebrae and the surrounding structures lose function. Thus, movement occurs in a stressful and damaging manner.
The best way to correct faulty biomechanics that result from tissue damage is to restore proper joint motion with spinal manipulation. This is achieved through chiropractic spinal adjustment. A spinal adjustment restores mobility while also triggering reflexive relief from your pain.
BODYWORK
Therapeutic massage & bodywork techniques support your healing
Our practice also utilizes manual therapies such as trigger-point therapy, cupping, and neuromuscular facilitation. These techniques target and decrease neck pain, increase cervical spine mobility, and help put the muscles in relaxation mode.
In addition to our clinic support, we also provide you with at-home exercises, stretches, and other practices you can employ between visits. We even offer physical therapy techniques and dietary education to further facilitate your healing. Our self-care plans are customized to you, your injuries, your health concerns, and your abilities. Our goal is to work with you to encourage long-term healing, pain relief, and a solid recovery.
