Neck Pain Relief in Hamilton
Neck pain is rarely just a muscle problem, especially if it keeps coming back even after massage and other therapies. Your muscles connect to the joints, so to clear up discomfort, it’s important to address structural issues as well. Aspire Chiropractic Hamilton responds to neck pain at the root to keep you moving and enjoying life.
Tracking Pain to the Source
Dr Kane, Dr Mari and Dr Chantal (Chiropractors) always start with a thorough assessment. We’ll take into account your age, history, any injuries or whiplash, sleep posture, range of motion, activity level, and daily routines to give us a full picture of what may be contributing to the discomfort. During the physical examination, we will check your spine and arms for any nerve symptoms.
Common causes of pain include tech neck resulting in limited range of motion or difficulty turning to one side. We look over the cervical spine in context with other areas. The shoulder, mid-back, head, collarbone, and jaw are often associated as well. Don’t be surprised if upper cervical adjustments also relieve symptoms elsewhere.
An example of an injury that could occur remote to the neck is a fall onto an outstretched hand this fall puts pressure into the wrist which transfers into the elbow and shoulder often jamming up the joint between the collar bone and the breastbone. The muscles that attach to this area also attach to the neck and restriction in the shoulder can create a repetitive cycle of restricted shoulder movement and ongoing neck problems.
Our Gentle Techniques
Before deciding our approach to care, we’ll consider your age, medications, comfort, and preferences. We achieve profound results with gentle manual adjustments every bit as safe as they look and feel.
We can adapt our techniques to use lighter-force instruments, depending on your needs. Trigger points and soft tissue therapy may also be appropriate for you.
Your initial plan of care may last anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. Children, young people, and those with injuries that are addressed promptly generally recover quicker while chronic issues take more time. Improved range of motion and less reliance on pain medication is common.
