Overview

Studies have shown that over half of the world’s population will experience an episode of neck pain at some point in their lifetime. People who are suffering from spinal pain experience more effective relief from chiropractic care than the use of drugs.

People experiencing neck pain often turn to chiropractic care for help. Chiropractic neck adjustment, called cervical manipulation, loosens the joints of the cervical vertebrae in the neck and this can reduce pain caused by pinched nerves and muscle spasms.

Overview

Causes of Neck Pain

Many everyday activities can cause neck pain. Watching TV, using mobile devices, reading a book or falling asleep in an improper position. Some people might even report feeling neck pain when they are emotionally stressed at work or at home. Most people get neck pain or shoulder stiffness due to accidents, injuries, falls, repeated bad posture or ergonomics that have caused the vertebrae to shift out of alignment.

Causes of Neck Pain

Text Neck Syndrome

Text neck is a modern age term coined by US chiropractor Dr. DL Fishman to describe repeated stress injury and pain in the neck resulting from excessive watching or texting on handheld devices over a sustained period of time. It has become a common problem with people typically sticking their neck forward and placing their head in front of their shoulders to use their phone for texting. People who hold this position for a long period of time will find their posture degenerating and put the natural curve of their neck at risk of flattening or inverting over time.

Most people crane their head forward when using mobile devices. This places an unusual weight on the cervical spine. The illustration shows the effective weight on the spine as forward tilt increases.

Treatment Plans

Regular Chiropractic Treatment

Our trained chiropractors will apply force to adjust misalignments in your spine to help relieve, reverse and resolve symptoms you are experiencing, ultimately helping you to resume your daily activities.

Decompression Therapy
Nonsurgical procedure intended to relieve pressure in the targeted segment of the spine by gently stretching it to create a negative pressure in it. This stretch will allow herniated/bulging discs to retract and promote blood flow back to the discs to improve recovery. Decompression Therapy has been known to be effective for conditions such as slipped discs, sciatica, disc degeneration and nerve compression.

Shockwave Therapy
Shockwaves are transient acoustic waves which have the unique ability to transmit high energy peaks. Shockwave Therapy focuses the high dosages of energy to painful spots through deep cell stimulation, which triggers the tissue healing and regeneration process. This effect is favourable in resolving persistent pain conditions in the joints, tendons and muscles.

Hear From Others

I was experiencing very bad neck pain. I had difficulty turning my head to my right. The pain was so intense that I couldn’t sleep well. It actually caused numbness on the right side of my head. Just after 2 weeks of chiropractic adjustments, the pain is gone! I can now turn my head and I finally can have better sleep.

Son Chiang Kang

Initially I had a sore neck and I couldn’t turn my neck fully from left to right. The soreness was so bad that I constantly have headaches and I have to twist my own neck every few seconds to ease the pain. I tried TCM, physiotherapy and nothing worked. After my chiropractic treatment, the constant neck pain is gone! I don’t have headaches anymore.

Tan Xue Feng

I experienced 20 over years of neck pain and I’ve tried many forms of pain management from medication, acupuncture to deep tissue massage and physiotherapy. I’ve had long periods of constant pain and immobility. Under Dr. Bryan’s care, the neck pain has been manageable. I no longer have to endure weeks of constant pain and discomfort. I noticed my posture has improved.

Nicole

For the last couple of years, I suffered from lower back pain and neck pain especially after work. I was considering seeking help from alternative treatments. Luckily I found Chiropractic First. After a few months of adjustments, I feel much better. My lower pain and neck pain has reduced noticeably.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have Any Questions?

If you require more information, contact us and ask one of our chiropractors.

Is neck adjustment safe?

If the underlying cause of the problem is misalignment (subluxation) of the spinal bones in the neck, cervical neck adjustments can be effective. The chiropractor has years of practice of spinal adjustments and is experienced in using the best technique(s) to adjust the neck safely and effectively. There are different chiropractic techniques for the chiropractor to choose from. If a patient is not comfortable with a certain type of treatment, the chiropractor is able to accommodate a different method of treatment.

How long will I need chiropractic care?

Chiropractic care is specific to each patient. A physical examination as well as radiographic examination (x-rays) alert the chiropractor to any type of underlying factors such as degeneration, which complicate a patient’s case. Recommendations will be made specific to each case, as each patient is different. Chiropractors are always concerned with the long-term spinal health of each patient. Their job is to keep you as healthy as possible all the time!
