A healthy neck is vital to our comfort and necessary for everyday activities. When experiencing neck pain, even the slightest motion can cause a significant shooting pain that lingers. Because our necks work nearly all day (and, depending on how we sleep, often at night), taking care of them should be a top priority. 

Why Neck Pain Patients See Us

Most heads weigh about 12 pounds, which means that your neck has a big job to pull off. If something should happen to your vertebrae, your head, shoulders, and back are all at risk.  

Our patients often complain of these problems when they come in for a visit: 

• Loss of range of motion or flexibility
• Difficulty sleeping
• Discomfort while working at your desk
• Dull pain in the neck while being sedentary (driving, watching TV)
• Pain when turning the head

If a patient is suffering from neck pain or discomfort, visiting a chiropractor will help determine the cause of the problem. In most cases, the patient will experience fast, if not immediate, relief upon their first treatment.  

Our doctors provide neck adjustments, exercises, and stretches to patients to help ease their pain and realign the neck. We suggest making an appointment to see us if you’re experiencing any of these symptoms:

• Intense, chronic neck pain
• Neck swelling or redness
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Weakness, tingling, or numbness of the neck

Carolina Active Health Chiropractic offers specific neck treatments that rid patients of pain, allowing for full range of motion and comfort to be achieved naturally, safely, and efficiently. Some of the ways we provide solutions to your neck pain include:

• Chiropractic Adjustments / Manipulation / Mobilization: Adjustments and manipulations of the neck are a safe way to reduce a patient’s neck pain. Our doctors use this technique on the neck joints to repair mobility and range of motion, reduce neck spasms, and relieve tension.  
• Active Release Techniques (ART): ART is a massage technique that uses technology to improve muscle, tendon, ligament, fascia, and nerve problems, sometimes providing permanent results.
• Functional Rehabilitation: We offer individualized rehabilitation that works in conjunction with our other treatment services to ensure a more efficient recovery. Through healing stretches and exercises, we help the body relearn how to move to alleviate future issues.
• Class IV Laser Therapy: Our painless and quick laser treatments effectively alleviate discomfort deep within the tissue structures. Laser therapy often provides immediate neck pain relief. 
• Instrument-Assisted Soft-Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) / Graston Technique /  Functional and Kinetic Treatment with Rehab (FAKTR): Carolina Active Health Chiropractic doctors use IASTM to strengthen the patient’s recovery process and rehabilitation.  This instrument breaks down fascial restrictions and scar tissue to aid in quick and organic healing.  These tools treat the cause of the problem as well as the pain.  
• Take-Home Rehabilitation: Understanding how to exercise and stretch correctly can make for excellent recovery and proactively inspire good health and a well-working body.  We will always educate our patients on how to perform their at-home exercises to help maintain their wellness goals.
