Neck & Shoulder Pain
Neck and shoulder pain can have many causes. It can occur when there is subluxation or misalignment in the spine and joints of the neck, when we have chronic poor posture, or when we’ve spent too much time looking down at our phones and computers.
It can also be caused by torticollis, which leads to neck spasms and can make it painful to turn your head from side to side freely.
Chiropractor Dr Laura Priestley will determine the source of your neck or shoulder problems, and through spinal adjustments and other lifestyle advice, she will help you restore normal movement to the area, alleviating symptoms of pain and discomfort.
Return Mobility to Your Neck and Shoulders
When you are suffering from neck or shoulder pain, chiropractic adjustments realign the spine, taking pressure off of areas where it is causing problems and keeping movement in the neck and shoulders.
Chiropractic management, along with at-home lifestyle changes, have a positive impact on improving posture. Having good posture keeps your head from leaning forward over your shoulders, which causes those muscles to get very tight. Even just a few degrees forward puts the weight of your head over an area of your musculature that isn’t strong enough to withstand the pressure.
This can lead to pain and discomfort throughout the neck and shoulder muscles and reduce your ability to move each area freely. Dr Laura will also provide you with exercises you can do in the comfort of your home to continue improving your posture and keep movement in your neck.
