Neck Pain from Bad Posture? Chiropractic Can Help

Written By Breen Chiropractic Clinic, PC on May 29, 2020

Neck Pain TreatmentRemember all those times your mother told you to “stop slouching” or “stand up straight”? She was actually protecting you from the chronic neck pain you’re now experiencing. 

Poor posture can lead to a lot of uncomfortable conditions such as neck pain, back pain, and headaches. This is because slouching builds up pressure in your head and neck muscles over a long period. With the increase of a sedentary lifestyle, Americans are sitting more than any other time in history, and this is increasing their risk of acquiring a poor posture. 

Fortunately, chiropractic care is a natural neck pain treatment that focuses on treating the root cause of your pain. 

Neck Pain Treatment Using Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic treatment for neck pains focuses on realigning and correcting biomechanical faults within the spinal column. To restore optimal spinal movement, chiropractors apply gentle, targeted pressure on your cervical spine. The spinal and muscle manipulation also trigger mechanoreceptors within the vertebral joints blocking pain signals to the brain, consequently helping with pain relief and reduced muscle spasms. 

In addition to the spinal adjustment, your neck pain treatment plan may also involve counseling on some lifestyle modifications to help you maintain a proper posture and avoid future neck issues. For instance, if you spend hours at your office desk in front of your computer, your chiropractor may advise you to:

  • Sit upright with shoulders relaxed
  • Keep your knees at the same level as your hips (or slightly higher)
  • Keep your ears aligned with your shoulders 
  • Sit back in your chair to support the spine
  • Keep your computer at your eye level 

See your chiropractor to know the best ways to maintain a proper posture in relation to your type of job and lifestyle.
