Winnipeg Chiropractor Alleviates Neck Pain Naturally

By Hellen Moare


Many folks suffer with neck pain. This is because the neck handles a lot of stress and strain from the weight of the head and from improper posture. A Winnipeg chiropractor can help relieve neck pain naturally in addition to back discomforts.

Neck pain can be caused by a variety of things. Whiplash, which is strongly associated with car accidents, is caused in a sudden forced movement of the head in one direction and then another, causing muscle injuries and sometimes damage to the spine. (Whiplash is also seen in athletes who compete in contact sports, especially football). Degenerative disc disease, associated with lower back pain, can also occur in the neck.

A lot of neck pain is caused by poor posture and/or a bad sleeping position. A chiropractor can offer advice on your posture, which can reduce pain in the neck and referred pain into the arms. Techniques such as the Blair Upper Cervical that are specially designed to deal with neck pain issues are often employed, along with postural advice and stretches designed to strengthen the neck and restore range of motion.

The practitioner will often provide adjustments to the spine to realign vertebrae. When the spine is realigned, pain subsides. The adjustments are very gentle and the patient often does not feel them.

Evidence shows that chiropractic care is safe and effective for chronic neck pain and whiplash. If you are popping pills for neck pain or, worse, having to consider surgery - it is worth trying a chiropractics before going under the knife. They may be able to solve the problem with gentle, non-invasive techniques and reduce or eliminate dependency on medication.

Those suffering with acute and chronic pain in the neck may want to think about talking with a chiropractic provider. These highly trained practitioners are able to evaluate and asses your condition and develop a personalized therapy plan to relieve your pain and improve your mobility.
