Neck Pain
Neck pain is a common complaint that can be caused by poor posture, muscle strain, injuries, or conditions like arthritis. This pain can radiate to the shoulders, back, and even lead to headaches, making it difficult to focus and affecting quality of life. Addressing neck pain early is key to preventing further discomfort and improving mobility.
How Chiropractic Care and Medical Massage Therapy Work Together
Chiropractic Care: Chiropractic adjustments target misalignments in the cervical spine (neck area), helping to relieve pressure on nerves and improve spinal alignment. This approach not only reduces pain but also enhances mobility and helps prevent future issues by supporting spinal health.
Medical Massage Therapy: Massage therapy complements chiropractic care by addressing muscle tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper back. Techniques such as trigger point therapy and deep tissue massage release tension, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation, providing both immediate and long-term relief.
Combined Benefits: Using chiropractic and massage therapy together addresses both the structural and muscular contributors to neck pain. Chiropractic adjustments restore alignment and nerve function, while massage therapy relaxes muscles, enhances flexibility, and promotes healing.
