Neck pain is not just from one cause and being able to diagnose the root cause correctly is an important part of chiropractic care.
Chiropractic adjustment
Dr. Bendiks, like all chiropractors, provides chiropractic adjustments to his patients for neck pain. He uses the most popular technique of adjusting, which is the diversified technique. With this method of adjustment, a high-velocity low amplitude thrust is used to move the vertebrae to their proper positions. This is the method that often results in the popping sound.
Cryotherapy
When the pain in your neck is the result of trauma such as an auto accident or a sports injury, the use of ice in the immediate aftermath of the accident is very helpful in lowering the pain level. Using cold slows down the blood flow to the injury, which allows for a reduction in swelling and inflammation. It can also be useful for pain relief later on.
Cox Flexion Distraction
Cox Flexion Distraction is a type of adjustment offered in our Harlingen, TX, office that can help relieve pressure in the spine. It can help with neck pain by using a segmented table to provide gentle stretching and decompressing. By lowering different segments of the table during adjustments, increased space between vertebrae is created.
Therapeutic ultrasound
Therapeutic ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to heat and vibrate the cells in the area of treatment. This reduces inflammation and pain and is a non-invasive way to get relief naturally.
Therapeutic exercise
Once the pain has been controlled, the goal is to keep the neck pain-free. By using personalized exercises, this can be achieved at home. Through stretches and strengthening exercises, you can improve your flexibility and maintain the improvements that your chiropractor has achieved.
