Neck pain can totally ruin your day! Whether it’s from long hours at your desk, a poor night’s sleep, or a car accident, most of us have experienced neck pain at some point. Did you know that 50% to 70% of people in the U.S. will experience neck pain during their lifetime? (source: National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke). But here’s the good news: you don’t have to live with it forever. Chiropractic care might be the solution you’ve been looking for!
What’s Causing Your Neck Pain?
Let’s take a moment to explore what’s behind your stiff neck. For many, it starts with poor posture—think slouching at your desk, staring at your phone for too long, or hunching over while watching TV. These habits put a strain on your neck muscles, limit blood flow, and lead to tension and discomfort. Over time, this can even cause scar tissue to build up, making it harder to move your neck.
Other common causes include injuries like whiplash, headaches, or even stress. Additionally, you can read more about the relationship between stress and neck pain in this Harvard Health article.
Is Spinal Manipulative Therapy (SMT) Safe for Neck Pain?
Absolutely! Spinal Manipulative Therapy (SMT), often known as chiropractic adjustments, is a safe, non-invasive way to treat neck pain. In fact, a recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) found that spinal manipulation can be highly effective in treating acute and chronic neck pain (JAMA Network).
When you see a licensed chiropractor for SMT, they will use targeted techniques to help restore motion, reduce pain, and promote healing. But here’s the key: make sure you consult an individual trained to perform these techniques.
At Aquarius Chiropractic, our chiropractor is fully trained in spinal manipulation, and we personalize treatments for your specific needs. If we think another specialist would be a better fit for your care, we’ll make the necessary referrals. Your health and safety is our priority!
