Neck Pain Relief and Treatment in Stratham, NH
Muscle strains are one of the most common causes of neck pain. Factors like bad posture, and leading a predominantly sedentary lifestyle can lead to neck pain over time. Whiplash, which results from a sudden backwards and forward jerking motion of the head, causes mild to severe neck pain and other symptoms depending on the extent of the damage. Whiplash is most common from rear end collision car accidents, but can also result from trauma while playing a contact sport or from other forms of violent physical impact. Other common causes of neck pain include osteoarthritis, a herniated disc in the cervical spine or spinal conditions like cervical stenosis.
Chiropractic treatment and adjustments can help to manage symptoms and offer relief for the discomfort associated with muscle strains and other spinal issues. For mild to moderate pain caused by a temporary soft tissue injury or muscle strain from lifestyle factors like slouching over a computer or sleeping in an awkward, your chiropractor might recommend conservative treatments like ice, heat, rest, and massage. It is import to seek treatment after a car accident or injury, even if there are no initial symptoms, to get an accurate diagnosis.
