The intensity can range from mild to completely debilitating. Here at Robina Chiropractic Wellness Centre we care for many patients with neck pain, this is because the misaligned vertebrae (spinal bones) are a well known and the most common cause of neck pain.
Neck pain presents itself as either acute or chronic. Acute neck pain is often related to injury and is sudden and intense. Whiplash for example is one of the most common causes of acute neck injury. Many people are not aware that whiplash victims can experience the symptoms of whiplash at delayed times. Sometimes even month or years after the actual accident.
Regular chiropractic care and specific exercises can minimise the effects of whiplash by strengthening the musculo-skeletal system and promoting overall good spinal health.
Chronic neck pain is usually characterised by tenderness and pain that is lasting more than 3 months. Repeatedly poor posture, such as at work in front of the computer can lead to chronic neck pain.
Dr Andrew Kaltenbach at Robina Chiropractic Wellness Centre suggests regular chiropractic care for neck pain and encourages following to prevent neck pain:
- Regular exercise of neck muscles
- Perk up your posture
- Stop stressing
- Purchase a new pillow
- Work on the work woes
Life can be a pain in the neck at times, but it doesn’t have to be. Don’t let the agony of your neck pain escalate. Book your appointment with Dr Andrew today: 07 5562 1311
