College Park Chiropractic Treatment for Chronic Neck Pain
Don’t let aches and pains keep you from living the best life possible.
Lifestyle Changes
Whether at work or play, stress is placed on your spine.
This affects internal and external health, but lifestyle changes can improve your condition.
- Sleep on your back
- Raise your computer screen to eye level
- Drink plenty of water
- Switch arms regularly if you carry a purse
- Utilize a telephone headset
These slight, affordable modifications to your lifestyle can have a significant impact on your comfort and health.
Regular Stretching
Stretching regularly will help ease stiffness, so make time for it throughout your day.
Tag it onto something you’re already doing, like brushing your teeth or waiting for the coffee to brew. Similar to the lifestyle changes you can make, stretching will not break the bank.
Strengthening Exercises
By enhancing the spine, you can reduce neck pain.
You can easily incorporate spine-strengthening exercises into your daily routine since they can be done in your home without specialized equipment.
By slowing tucking your chin into the chest, you activate the muscles used to keep your head aligned with the shoulders. Slouching is one of the biggest contributors to spinal discomfort, so repeat this exercise to build strength.
Particular yoga stretches, like the prone cobra, help create and stimulate muscle mass, too.
Chiropractic Care for Neck Pain
The methods discussed above are, but some individuals choose to work with a chiropractor to further improve their spinal health.
Chronic conditions such as migraines, tension headaches, foggy brain, and knee, back, or neck pain, should be treated by a professional.
Adjustments realign the spinal cord, and a chiropractor can target your specific issues to relieve discomfort.
