So, how do we diagnose your neck pain problem before creating a treatment plan? We will conduct an evaluation of the complete spine, as other areas of the neck including the thoracic (mid-back), and lumbar (low back) may also be affected. One of the core practices of chiropractic treatment is that we will treat you as a whole person. We focus on treating much more than just the symptoms.Before we determine the treatment approach, a thorough examination is conducted to diagnose the underlying cause of the pain. This can include:
- Finding any areas with restricted motion
- Taking a look at how you walk and noticing any changes in spinal alignment and posture
- Getting a better understanding of your body mechanics
We will also check your medical history and require you to take imaging tests. A thorough diagnosis will help us understand the root cause and create the right treatment plan for your neck pain issue.
Neck Pain Relief from Chiropractic Treatments
We can use a combination of manual therapy, spinal manipulation, and other chiropractic techniques to provide relief care, corrective care, and maintenance care. Some of the spinal manipulation techniques that we use include:- Flexion-distraction technique involves gentle spinal manipulation using hands. It uses pumping action on the intervertebral disc in place of applying direct force.
- We use specific spinal manipulation to restore movement. This is a type of gentle thrusting technique.
- Instrument-assigned manipulation involves the use of hand-held instruments to apply non-thrusting force on the spine.
We also use a variety of manual therapies to provide neck pain relief. This includes manual joint stretching/resistance, instrument-based soft tissue therapy, trigger point therapy, and therapeutic massage. Your actual treatment plan will eventually be based on your diagnosis.
