New Solutions To Chronic Neck Pain in Olympia WA

We have all been there, you wake up in the morning after a camping trip or long day in the yard and you cannot move your neck, the first thing you ask yourself is how am I going to get through the day?

Usually the answer is an over-the-counter pain medication, and if the problem doesn't get better within 2 to 3 days we then resort to heavy duty medication prescribed by a doctor. There needs to be a better way, as Americans we rely heavily on pharmaceuticals for everyday health problems such as headaches and neck pain. Our chiropractic clinic in Olympia WA offers an alternative.

What are some natural solutions to chronic neck pain in Olympia WA?

Chiropractic

Many studies have shown that Chiropractic is one of the most successful modalities at decreasing chronic neck pain and decreasing chronic headaches with minimal side effects. When joints are restricted, it creates local neck tension but may not cause pain immediately. All it takes is one little motion, camping trip, lifting something heavy in the yard to create a situation where you cannot move your neck. Chiropractors mobilize fixated joints to allow proper cervical spinal motion.

Massage therapy

When a patient experiences chronic neck pain or acute neck pain, muscles are always involved. When neck muscles are in spasm it restricts range of motion, increases inflammation, and causes localized pain with any motion in the cervical region. Massage therapists are trained to mobilize the neck muscles and create passive stretches in positions that alleviate pain and take pressure off the fixated joints

Rehab therapy

By creating a specialized treatment plan and home exercises to mobilize the neck region, patients are able to experience pain relief much quicker by adhering to their home care plan. Each care plan is tailored around the underlying cause of their chronic neck
