Neck Pain Treatment in Chesterfield

Get neck pain relief in Chesterfield

Seeing a Gonstead chiropractor can help you relieve chronic neck pain. Gonstead chiropractors focus on making sure your spine is aligned correctly and that the many nerves in your neck are working as they should.

A misalignment (or subluxation) is when one or more of the bones in your neck becomes displaced, which can put pressure on the brachial plexus and cause pain. To get relief from this neck pain, it’s important to work with a Gonstead chiropractor in getting the misalignment corrected, relieving the tension, and letting your neck heal properly.

What causes neck pain?

Neck pain can come from a number of different sources. In many cases, it’s the result of a problem with your spine that may have been there for some time without you realizing it.

Neck pain can be caused by:

• Arthritis
• Bulging or pinched disks
• Injury involving the neck

The longer neck pain goes untreated, the more likely it becomes that you’ll begin to experience a combination of muscle spasms and stiffness. Neck pain can also lead to headaches and difficulty sleeping at night. If this sounds like something you suffer from on a regular basis, chiropractic treatment could help speed up your recovery so you can feel better in no time.

Symptoms of a misaligned or subluxated vertebra may include:

• Neck pain that gets worse when you turn your head or look up or down
• Stiffness in your neck
• Tingling, numbness, burning, or weakness in one arm (usually but not always on the same side as the problem)
• Headaches

Our chiropractic team in Chesterfield will do an examination to find out where your spine is causing problems and causing neck pain. Then we’ll work with you on treatment options to get you on the path to recovery.

Chiropractic treatment for neck pain in Chesterfield

If you’re experiencing neck pain, you need to see our chiropractors for an exam. We’ll work with you on developing a treatment plan that can include specific chiropractic adjustments, nonsurgical decompression, and/or acupuncture to fix the problem. This will restore your spine to its proper alignment so you can feel better now and in the future.

Chiropractic care is different than other types of medical treatments because it focuses on restoring normal function to your body through your spine instead of masking or suppressing symptoms with medication. Dr. Noonan will make sure nothing is causing the misalignment (such as arthritis), prescribe stretches and exercises like those above, and help get things back in working order.

If you’re experiencing chronic neck pain, don’t wait another day before scheduling an appointment with our chiropractic team.

When to see a chiropractor in Chesterfield

Many people try to wait out neck pain, but early care typically means a faster, fuller recovery and a lower risk of the problem becoming chronic. Book an exam if you notice:

• Stiffness or pain lasting more than a few days, or pain that keeps coming back
• Limited ability to turn your head fully in one or both directions
• Headaches that seem to start in the back of your neck or base of your skull (often a sign of cervicogenic headaches)
• Pain, tingling, or aching that travels into your shoulder, arm, or hand
• Neck pain that started after a car accident, fall, or sudden impact

If neck pain follows trauma and is accompanied by numbness or weakness in your arms, or if you experience a sudden severe headache alongside neck stiffness, seek emergency evaluation right away — these can indicate a more serious injury that requires immediate attention. For everything else, we’re here to help.
