Relieve the pain from Neck Pain

Neck Pain Treatment in Manchester

Patients seeking help from a chiropractor because they are suffering with neck pain are extremely numerous. Almost all of us will experience periods of neck pain at several occasions during a lifetime. In the majority of cases, it may have begun quite suddenly, possibly due to something such as sleeping badly in an awkward position. It then quickly eases and all without requiring treatment.

When Neck Pain Affects your Life

But in some cases, neck pain is extremely painful, persistent and can affect the whole lifestyle of the person affected, being debilitating and persistent, it may be long lasting or occur repetitively. Such neck pain may then generate other symptoms, resulting in headaches or pain in the arms. In a number of cases neck pain may be initiated by a traumatic incident, often the result of a road traffic accident and subsequent impact, or from a sports injury. Alternatively, it may have begun gradually, even over a period of years, from an uncomfortable position when working – such as with daily computer use; or possibly as a result of poor posture. Or it could be age related as the intervertebral discs narrow and cause stiffness.

An Assessment of your Neck Pain

Your chiropractor at Manchester Chiropractors will assess and determine whether it is a “simple” or “mechanical” neck pain as illustrated in the first set of examples above, or whether there are underlying causes where nerves in the neck are trapped, compressed, or irritated. This is often where discs have been damaged between the vertebrae or are affected by wear and tear leading to pain which spreads to the shoulders and arms, often accompanied by the tingling sensation known as pins and needles, and where the arm or hand may feel numb and weak.

Transform your neck pain

Taking over-the-counter pain remedies such as Paracetamol and Ibuprofen may have proven to be ineffective and often create secondary problems in other parts of the body. Seeing our chiropractor in Manchester to deal with your persistent, worsening pain, is a positive move towards a pain free life. With up to 50% of the British population suffering from neck pain at some point in a twelve month period, chiropractic treatment is shown to be the most effective treatment, providing a safe, non-invasive alternative to pharmaceutical medication, either over the counter or prescription.
