Chiropractic Treatments for the Neck

Chiropractic treatments for the neck are used to help manage the symptoms of cervical injury such as whiplash or conditions such as a bulging disc, herniated disc, cervical stenosis or degenerative disc disease. Chiropractic therapy is one of several conservative treatment methods you may consider to deal with chronic neck pain.

Other conservative treatments that can help you achieve pain relief for neck pain include physical therapy, prescription or over-the-counter pain medication, rest, behavior modification, massage therapy, and gentle exercises for neck pain relief. Generally, a patient undergoing chiropractic treatments for the neck also will be prescribed one or more of the other conservative methods.

A chiropractor uses many of the same diagnostic techniques as your family practitioner, including a thorough review of your medical history and imaging tests such as an x-ray, MRI or CT scan. Chiropractors also employ a diagnostic technique called “motion and static palpation,” which is a way to determine how well the joints of the spine move and to locate tenderness and tightness associated with the spinal condition. Once the diagnosis is made, a chiropractor will use spinal manipulation to try to alleviate pain or to mitigate symptoms associated with a compressed cervical nerve root.

If chronic, debilitating neck pain persists despite weeks or months of conservative treatment, a doctor might suggest surgery as an option. Many candidates for neck surgery find that an alternative to traditional operations exists at Laser Spine Institute (LSI). The surgeons at LSI use gentle, endoscopic techniques to perform minimally invasive, outpatient procedures that can help you rediscover a life without neck pain. Contact LSI to learn more, or for a free review of your MRI or CT scan.

Please note: Laser Spine Institute currently does not perform endoscopic procedures on the thoracic spine.
