If you are suffering from neck pain in Temple Hills, MD, Dr. E’rika Brock at Abundant Health Chiropractic & Wellness Center offers treatments to get your pain-free life back. For a wide range of causes of neck pain, you can get relief through holistic means with chiropractic.
Chiropractic Adjustments
When the vertebrae in the neck are out of alignment, they can put pressure on the nerves. This causes muscle spasms and painful shocks. Dr. Brock uses a variety of chiropractic adjustment techniques including Diversified, Activator, and Thompson Drop-Table to realign the vertebrae. Different patients and situations require different techniques to get the desired result.
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy has both a physical and a psychological aspect. When you are tense emotionally, the muscles get tense, and this can make the neck more resistant to treatments including adjustments. Massaging neck muscles allows adjustments to be applied with less force and reduces the likelihood of the vertebrae being pulled too much again.
Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves to heat and vibrate the soft tissues, muscles, and joints. It helps reduce inflammation and increase the blood flow to the afflicted area. It also stimulates endorphins, which are nature's pain relievers, and prompts cellular repair.
Therapeutic Exercise
Therapeutic exercise is designed to help you rebuild your strength and flexibility. Dr. Brock will customize a treatment plan to suit your body and your injury. It will include resistance and stretching exercises. You will continue to do these exercises as maintenance.
Spinal Decompression
One of the more serious causes of neck pain is herniated or bulging discs. A disc is the cushion between the vertebrae. It helps the neck move. Spinal decompression is a noninvasive way to get the disc material to go back to its normal spot inside the disc. The spine is stretched and the space between the vertebrae increases, this creates suction that pulls the material back to where it belongs.
