A neck problem can become very debilitating, significantly when it causes migraines or tension headaches.
Chiropractic treatments for neck pain
The BROSSARD CHIROPRACTIC CLINIC offers complete treatments for neck pain (cervical). We cater to greater Longueuil, including Candiac, La Prairie, Saint-Hubert, as well as the other cities in the South Shore.
Dr. Alain Caplette, chiropractor, offers chiropractic treatments customized for people suffering from neck pain and its associated symptoms (migraine, headache, reduced neck mobility, etc.). The treatments are tailored to each condition, and allow patients to suffer less and recover faster.
Causes of neck pain
- Facet Syndrome: the facet joints are located in the posterior area of the vertebrae. They allow the spine to move about in various angles in a fluid and flexible manner, with the help of the lubrified cartilage that covers it. We refer to it as Facet Syndrome when these joints are irritated, and cause pain in the neck.
To recover mobility in your neck and facilitate the tissue reparation process, a manipulation of the vertebrae can be performed by the chiropractor to allow the decompression of painful joints. Blood circulation will be improved, which will help the tissues regenerate. Posture correction and the avoidance of repetitive movements will be recommended. Laser or ultrasound therapies, as well as decompression, can help reduce muscles stiffness in the area. - Torticollis: Torticollis is a contraction of the neck muscles (painful stiffness) which prevents the affected person from turning their head. This neck pain can have many triggering factors: poor sleep posture, a bad movement, a car accident, a blow to the head, etc.
A lasting neck pain can also develop if someone has poor posture while on the computer, on their cell phone (text messages), or while reading. The chiropractor can relieve your neck pain through spinal adjustments (if necessary), with a massage or an ultrasound treatment. - Migraines and tension headaches: Stress and anxiety can be the cause of muscular tensions in the jaw, the face, the shoulders and the muscles which allow neck movement. These tensions can trigger migraines and headaches that can last day after day. Cervical mobilizations can be performed, accompanied by laser or ultrasound therapy, or by spinal decompression.
Specific exercises will be recommended to treat tension headaches or migraines. Good life habits (posture, exercise, sleep, diet, stress management, etc.) will also be recommended.
The tensions which cause headaches can also be due to poor positioning of the vertebrae in the neck, which irritates the nerves and tenses the muscles. Spinal adjustments will help increase the mobility of the cervical vertebrae, while prompting the relaxation of the neck muscles.
