Suffering From Neck Pain in Omaha NE?

You know the old saying, “It's a pain in the neck”? Well, when you live with neck pain long enough, you know it's important to find the best chiropractor in Omaha NE. Neck pain can make even the simplest of movements involving the neck, head, arms, shoulders, and back excruciatingly difficult. Neck problems can lead to headaches, upper body discomfort, and sore muscles. Immobility resulting from neck pain can cause the muscles to become weak and degenerate over time.

Understanding the root of your neck pain is a necessary step toward acquiring the treatment that will be effective in both short and long-term recovery. The following article looks at the causes of neck pain and explains how Omaha NE chiropractic care can be a useful alternative to conventional treatments.

Neck Pain Treatment In Omaha NE

Although the neck is a relatively small area of the body, it is comprised of some complicated structures which do the important job of holding your head up. The small size of the vertebrae of the neck allows for a lot of mobility, but can also make the neck more vulnerable to injury and pain. Some of the causes of neck pain include:

• Text Neck: Looking down at mobile devices for too long can strain your neck muscles. The average is now close to four hours on our cellular devices.
• Whiplash: This condition typically affects people who have been in car accidents or personal injuries. Whiplash causes small tears to the muscles and ligaments of the neck, causing neck pain, swelling, muscle spasms, and limited range of motion.
• Stress: Job-related, family, and just life in general. Stress causes the muscles to become alert and constantly ready for action, resulting in pain in the neck, back, and head.
• Muscle strain: Muscle strain is similar to whiplash but limits itself to torn muscle fibers.
• Subluxations: A subluxation happens when the vertebrae puts pressure on the nerves exiting the spinal cord.
• A bulged or herniated disc: This occurs when a vertebral disc protrudes from the tough casing that encloses it. This condition usually involves upper extremity radiating symptoms like pain, numbness, and tingling.
• Improper sleep: Your body regenerates and heals at night. If you are not getting 6-8 hours of restful sleep, you will have neck pain.

Most of these issues are either caused by or impact, the alignment of the spine. When muscles in the neck go into spasm, the spine gets pulled out of alignment. When the spine is misaligned, the nerves become irritated and cause further tension and other systemic problems. Because every nerve in the body has its root in the spinal column, issues that have their source at the neck can have a major impact throughout every other system.

Many people let spinal problems go uncorrected in Omaha NE. They hope that if they wait long enough the pain will simply go away. In some cases it will go away, but the misalignment that caused the problem is usually still there. Over time, that area can become aggravated, and the pain can return. If the problem is not corrected it can become much more serious. Some patients let things go to the point where surgery may be the only option.

Conventional Vs. Holistic Treatments

Most commonly, people try to deal with their neck pain using prescription or over-the-counter medications. This may help to relieve the symptoms in the short-term, but not only are patients dealing with side effects, the underlying issue goes unaddressed. Massage Therapy has become more popular over the years and this can help to relieve some muscle tightness. If the issue is in the bones or joints, the problem will remain.

Chiropractic treatment is a holistic practice that addresses the structural cause that leads to the majority neck pain. Following a thorough chiropractic assessment aimed at ruling out other issues and finding the exact source of the problem, a personalized recovery plan is developed. Gentle adjustments to the spine can bring instant relief and restore long term health to the neck and the entire body.
