Neck pain is a common issue, especially as our lifestyles become more sedentary. It can be extremely disruptive to daily activities and often leads to headaches and stiffness due to the numerous nerves in this area. Various conditions can cause neck pain, making an accurate diagnosis essential. Determining the specific type of neck pain you're experiencing is something Dr Mark Bruining can assist with.
Common causes of Neck Pain:
Poor posture and spinal alignment
Prolonged sitting
Car accidents (whiplash)
Ergonomic problems
Sporting injuries and trauma
Overuse and repetitive strain injuries
Our Approach to Treating Neck Pain:
At Whangarei Chiropractic, we take a holistic approach to treating neck pain. We focus on the entire neuromusculoskeletal system, rather than just the injury site. This includes the spine as a whole, extremity joints (shoulder, elbow, etc.), muscles, ligaments, tendons, as well as the nervous system.
The first step in helping you manage and prevent your problem is to ensure we have an accurate diagnosis. We achieve this through a comprehensive clinical history and thorough physical examination, including neurological, orthopaedic, and musculoskeletal tests. If necessary, we may also recommend further diagnostic investigations such as X-rays.
Once we have all the information required to make an accurate diagnosis, we will explain our findings to you in a simple and concise manner. Based on this information, we can then tailor a treatment plan specific to your condition and goals. Our team is dedicated to helping you manage and prevent neck injuries holistically, so you can get back to doing what you love. If at any stage we determine that you need to be referred to another provider, we will ensure you find the right specialist.
Prevention and Education:
To help you achieve lasting results beyond our practice, we will equip you with knowledge on how to prevent future injuries, provide sound ergonomic advice, and prescribe specific rehabilitation exercises tailored to you.
