A Guide to Types of Neck Pain
Like spinal conditions in the back, neck pain can be categorized into different types based on the underlying causes. Understanding your specific need is essential in developing an effective method of care.
We see people with various types of neck pain, including
Mechanical Neck Pain—occurs when the vertebrae in the neck shift out of position due to factors like improper sleeping postures or lifting heavy objects. Muscle strains, tendon strains, ligament sprains, and disc irritation may also contribute to mechanical neck pain.
Arthritic Flare-ups—as we age, the neck joints can experience arthritis, leading to inflammation and pain in the neck area. Our focus is on reducing inflammation and managing arthritic symptoms.
Soft Tissue Injuries—traumatic incidents, such as car accidents or sports injuries, may result in soft tissue injuries in the neck, causing pain, muscle spasms, and restricted movement. Our tailored care plans address these specific injuries.
Personalized Care for Your Neck Pain
At Bissell Clinic we believe in a unique approach to treating neck pain. We aim to provide methods of care that work best for each patient. Our thorough evaluations to identify the specific pain generator for each individual help us stand out from others. This allows us to create a customized care plan that directly addresses the underlying cause of your neck pain.
Our methods may include:
- Chiropractic Adjustments—gentle adjustments help realign the vertebrae, reducing pain and improving overall mobility.
- Modalities for Inflammation Reduction—with techniques such as electric muscle stimulation, ultrasound, heat, and ice, we calm the muscles and reduce inflammation.
