It is also the most flexible and most vulnerable part of the spine and it is constantly balancing your 10-12 pound head. Imagine balancing a 10-12 pound watermelon on the end of a stick with just some rubber bands; it is easy to understand why the neck is injured so easily. Wheat Ridge chiropractor Dr. Al Simeone offers multiple treatment options for natural, long-lasting neck pain relief & healing.

Neck Pain Treatment from our Wheat Ridge Chiropractor

Wheat Ridge chiropractor Dr. Al Simeone can diagnose and treat the cause of your neck pain without the use of drugs or aggressive procedures. These natural & effective treatments correct vertebral alignment, relieving pinched herves and alleviating soft tissue strain & sprains to help relieve pain and improve your posture to prevent future injuries. The care that is recommended is dependent upon what is causing your pain in the first place.

Neck injuries like whiplash

If the head is unexpectedly whipped from one side to the opposite in a car accident, sports injury or personal injury, vertebrae commonly shift out of alignment. Muscles, tendons and ligaments can also be strained or sprained. The result is commonly neck pain, headaches, stiffness, difficulty focusing and even blurred or double vision. Wheat Ridge chiropractor, Dr. Al Simeone, offers gentle & precise chiropractic adjustments to correct subluxations (misaligned vertebrae that pinch nerves), soft tissue therapy and therapeutic exercises to relieve pain, heal soft tissue injuries and restore your full range of motion in the neck.

Poor posture habits

Habitual “forward head posture” (FHP) commonly caused by hanging your head down over a computer or mobile devices, as well as poor posture, etc. can cause the vertebrae in the neck to shift out of alignment and cause the supporting soft tissues in the neck to become conditioned over time to this nerve-pinching posture. Chiropractic care, soft tissue therapy and therapeutic exercises along with correcting ergonomic’s at home and work are an effective way to strengthen the neck muscles, recondition soft tissues and provide neck pain relief.

Stress

For most people, stress causes muscles tension in the neck muscles. This prevents people from being able to focus on proper posture and ergonomics. Soft tissue therapy, in addition to chiropractic care, is an excellent way to relieve stress and tension while providing natural pain relief.
