How to Relieve Neck Pain with a Chiropractor

Neck pain has many causes. Some are chronic and some are acute. You can wake up with a stiff neck after sleeping in the wrong position or suffer from whiplash after an accident. At Cornerstone Family Chiropractic, we have provided residents of Richland, WA, and the surrounding Tri-City area with natural and effective neck pain treatment for many years.

Spinal Adjustment

Spinal adjustments are designed to restore the spine’s natural alignment. When the spine is out of alignment, nothing works the way it should. It can cause pain in the neck as well as other parts of the body. Many different types of chiropractic adjustments are available, and our chiropractor will decide which one is best for your case.

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy works well together with other forms of chiropractic treatment. The neck is more receptive to adjustment when the muscles are relaxed. Massage can also help to break up the trigger points that may be located in the shoulders and neck. These are painful knots in the muscles and fascia.

Ultrasound Therapy

Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves to vibrate and heat soft tissue. This therapy can help to remove stiffness, improve blood flow and promote healing.

Stretching and Strengthening Exercise

Exercise can continue your healing when you are at home. Neck tilts will help loosen your neck and upper back muscles. Shoulder rolls will help relax the shoulders and the neck. These exercises will increase your flexibility and mobility and help reduce pain.
