Shoulder and Neck Pain Treatment in Salina
Your Salina chiropractor can create a custom shoulder and neck pain treatment plan that gives you relief!
Due to poor posture, many people suffer from neck and shoulder pain. Chronic tender, sore neck and shoulder muscles, as well as headaches, can adversely impact how you function.
Neck and shoulder pain treatment from your Salina chiropractor will relieve your pain and allow you to stay productive and live a life you love.
Why Treating Neck and Shoulder Pain Should be a Priority
Injury, overuse, or poor posture can lead to:
- Spinal misalignment
- Frozen shoulder
- Muscle tension
- Inflammation
- Nerve compression
- Poor blood flow
- Sluggish lymphatic drainage
- Poor cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation
If such issues aren’t treated, you can end up with intense pain, including severe tension headaches or migraines. And since blood, lymph, and CSF all help eliminate toxins, a reduction in their flow can result in lowered immune health.
Additionally, failure to address a neck, shoulder, or back injury can result in long-term damage, such as:
- Reduced range of motion
- Lack of flexibility and strength
- Pain
Shoulder and Neck Pain Treatment Plan Options
As part of your neck and shoulder pain treatment plan, your Salina chiropractor will recommend the following therapies.
Spinal Adjustments
Realignment of the spine takes pressure off the muscles, nerves, joints, tendons, and ligaments. Plus, it ensures better blood, lymph, and CSF flow.
Since misalignment can occur anywhere along the spine, your chiropractor will adjust any area that needs it. It’s important to remember just how interconnected the body really is – the root cause of the pain in your shoulders and neck could very well be the result of misalignment in your lower back.
Massage Therapy
Neck and shoulder pain are often caused by muscle tension and strain from looking down at electronic devices or spending a lot of time working on your computer. Stress is also a major factor. A relaxing therapeutic massage can do much to ease the pain.
Spinal Decompression
If you have a disc bulge or herniation, your Salina chiropractor will recommend decompression treatment. The spinal decompression table will provide immediate relief by gently stretching the spine and taking pressure off of the nerves and discs.
