Neck Pain FAQS

Neck pain can keep you from living the lifestyle you enjoy most. Even mild neck pain can be intolerable, especially if it endures for months on end. If neck pain is lowering your quality of life, come to Chiropractic of Bellevue for help with neck pain relief. The following FAQs from your Bellevue chiropractor explain more about neck pain causes, symptoms, and treatments.

What Causes Neck Pain?  

Neck pain can be caused by musculoskeletal injuries from car accidents, slip and falls, or sports play. Accidental injuries can cause trauma to muscles and joints or misalignments in your spine, leading to pain and discomfort. Poor posture, muscle overuse, and chronic conditions that affect your spine can also cause neck stiffness and pain. 

What Is "Text Neck?"

"Text neck" is neck pain caused by strained neck muscles due to overuse of mobile devices. If you’re in the habit of hunching over your phone or tablet when texting or playing games, you’ll eventually feel the pain of strained muscles in your neck and spine.  

How Does Chiropractic Help with Neck Pain Relief?

Chiropractic treatments have been proven highly effective in relieving pain caused by muscle strains, sprains and soft tissue injuries. Your Bellevue chiropractor utilizes natural chiropractic techniques and therapies to reduce pain and promote healing.

Chiropractic adjustments are at the core of our neck pain treatment. Adjustments help correct spinal misalignments to alleviate pain and restore mobility. Adjustments also reduce muscle tension and inflammation so your body can heal. We may combine adjustments with massage therapy, hot/cold treatments and corrective exercises to help you get the full benefit of your neck pain treatment.

Can Neck Pain Be Avoided?

Neck pain caused by poor posture or mobile device overuse can be avoided by improving your posture and limiting your screen time or changing the way you view these devices. We'll also recommend corrective exercises that can help strengthen neck and spinal muscles to help prevent a relapse of your condition or future injuries.
