Neck Pain Relief in Mandurah
Neck pain is a common concern for many of our patients and – not surprisingly – one of the top reasons people seek chiropractic care. With so much time spent at workstations or on digital devices, neck issues often arise, which can keep us from getting a good night’s sleep and tackling daily tasks.
Signs and Symptoms
Neck pain can show up in different ways, including:
- Muscle tightness and spasms
- Limited range of motion
- Headaches
Common Causes of Neck Pain
The neck’s flexibility and its role in supporting the head can make it prone to discomfort. Here are a few common causes:
- Muscle Strains: Long hours hunched over a computer or reading in bed without proper support can strain neck muscles.
- Worn Joints: Over time, neck joints may wear down. Conditions like osteoarthritis lead to cartilage loss and bone spurs, affecting mobility and causing pain.
- Nerve Compression: Herniated disks or bone spurs in the neck can compress nearby nerves, contributing to discomfort and numbness.
- Injuries: Car accidents often result in whiplash, where the head is jerked backward and forward, causing strain on the neck’s soft tissues.
How We Help
Our approach to neck pain includes gentle chiropractic care and lifestyle guidance to support lasting relief. In addition to maintaining good posture and ergonomic setups, we may recommend specific stretches and strengthening exercises.
