Causes of neck and shoulder pain
Neck and shoulder pain is caused due to multiple reasons ranging from bad lifestyle to age-related wear and tear. Many people experience neck pain after straining the neck to a computer screen continuously for hours. Common causes of neck and shoulder pain include:
- Muscle strain – Several muscles connect the shoulder and the neck. If any of these muscles get strained, you may experience pain and stiffness in the shoulder and neck.
- Spondylosis – Degeneration of the spine due to wear and tear will eventually cause pain in the shoulder and neck. As the space in the intervertebral foramen becomes smaller, the spinal nerve may become compressed, leading to pain in the neck and shoulders. This is an age-related condition that can be well-treated through chiropractic therapy.
- Physical strain – When your neck muscles go through repetitive or strenuous activities, it can cause stiffness and pain. Moreover, poor posture, obesity, weak abdominal muscles, etc. can affect the alignment of the spine and cause neck pain.
- Stress – When we are stressed, we generally tighten the muscles of the neck. This will lead to neck and shoulder pain. Stress is one of the common reasons for neck pain among people of all age groups.
Symptoms of neck and shoulder pain
People suffering from neck and shoulder pain generally experience persistent pain in the affected area. Sometimes they experience a shooting pain that starts from the neck and extends to the shoulder or arms. The pain may be accompanied by stiffness in the back, upper back, or shoulders, burning sensation, numbness feeling, etc. Some people find it difficult to turn their necks or tilt their heads when they have neck and shoulder pain.
Reliable chiropractor for neck and shoulder pain treatment
At Titan Calgary Chiropractor Woodbine, we focus on helping you achieve your wellness goals through chiropractic treatment. We provide safe and effective treatment for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions including back pain, neck and shoulder pain, whiplashes, industrial injuries, and more.
When you approach us, our team will conduct a proper examination to understand the underlying cause of the neck and shoulder pain. We use spinal manipulation, soft tissue massage, and other non-invasive procedures depending on your health status and concerns. Our procedures include:
Flexion-distraction technique
It is one of the common techniques used in chiropractic treatment methods. During the process, an experienced chiropractic practitioner will manipulate your spine slowly and carefully on a segmented table. The spine is stretched and decompressed in a strategic way which will alleviate the pain and discomfort in your upper back, neck, etc.
Trigger point therapy
Depending on your health condition and comfort level, we may include acupuncture techniques as well for neck and shoulder pain treatment. During the process, we insert very thin needles at specific trigger points in the body to get relief from pain. We conduct the procedure in a safe and comfortable environment with minimal discomfort for the patient.
Spinal manipulation
Our experienced chiropractic practitioners use a mild thrusting method for specific spinal manipulations. Not only does it help to restore joint movement but relieves the pain and improves the range of motion. It helps to restore the structural integrity of the spine, reduces pain, and activates the natural healing process of the body.
