Due to its unique role of “positioner of the head”, it requires muscle coordination and joint alignment to stay healthy. That is why having a chiropractor Little Falls MN to guide you is so helpful. Comprised of soft-tissue like muscle, ligament, cartilage, and nerve as well as hard-tissue like bone, determining the exact cause of neck pain can be difficult. Furthermore, issues of the shoulder girdle (rotator cuff/shoulder blade) often refer pain to the neck due to it being the origin of those regions. It is also common region for the development of degenerative joint disease and arthritis adding another layer of complexity. The neck can be the end-site for referred pain from multiple organic issues such as infection, heart disease, neurologic diseases, and more. Many important structures pass through the spinal column in the neck, including the spinal cord, spinal nerves, and the carotid and vertebral arteries. These structures, vital to health and wellbeing, require protection which the vertebrae provide. The nerves exit the spine (called “nerve roots”) are vulnerable to being injured, more so than other regions of the spine.
Associated signs and symptoms:
- Headache
- Numbness/tingling in face, arms, and hands
- Stiffness of neck
- Pain worsens when holding head in one position for extended periods like when watching TV or trying to fall asleep in bed
- Muscle tightness and “knots”
- Sharp pain with quick movement
It is crucial to differentiate between nerve root, spinal cord, cartilage, and muscle injuries in order to treat the pain or symptoms in an effective and quick manner. This is why, at Chiro Plus Rehab, step one by your chiropractor Little Falls MN is a thorough assessment that checks your joint’s alignment, nerve health, muscle strength and balance, and the integrity of the cartilage, tendon, and bone. We do this through a series of orthopedic, neurologic, postural, and muscle tests. We also have an on-site, digital x-ray unit when radiographic analysis is needed. The final and a unique component to our chiropractor Little Falls MN examination process is our signature Functional Movement Screen which can detect faulty movement habits (like poor posture of the neck when sitting) that is triggering your pain.
The standard approach to neck pain is usually a combination or ice/heat, rest, and over-the-counter anti-inflammatories and maybe physical therapy by a chiropractor Little Falls MN. At Chiro Plus Rehab we combine adjustments, hands-on muscle therapy, therapeutic exercises and Corrective Movement Therapy as well with passive modalities (like Electric Muscle Stimulation) to eliminate pain quickly. And then provide you with self-care advice to keep things good once they’re there. Why? Because our goal is to provide the most complete physical care experience possible and get you back to life.
