Neck pain can be disruptive to your everyday life and activities. At Advanced Chiropractic of Conyers, Dr. Jean-Louis Clarel focuses on the health of the entire body, not just on the pains that may be curtailing your life. Your neck pain may be acute from an injury or chronic due to degeneration. Both types can be helped with chiropractic care in Conyers, GA.
Spinal adjustments
Getting the spine back into alignment is one of a chiropractor’s most important goals. Adjustments of the neck are often gentle and done with a spring-loaded tool. However, just because the pain is in the neck doesn't mean that the misalignment is in the neck. There may be subluxations in the back that affect the whole body. The body works as a whole and providers need to consider the entire body to achieve the optimal level of wellness.
Cryotherapy
The use of ice for pain is nothing new. Most people do it at home when they have a sprain or a strain. The same works for neck pain in Conyers, GA. Cold reduces the pain, swelling, and inflammation that may be happening in your neck. When the cold is removed, the blood flow increases, and the healing can begin.
Massage
Stress is one of the biggest health challenges that most people deal with. It can manifest itself in your body and the neck is one of the places where it often shows. A massage can provide relaxation for stiff, painful muscles in the neck.
Laser therapy
Laser therapy uses light beams to stimulate the tissue deep beneath the skin. It gets results at the cellular level by promoting healing, reducing inflammation, and stimulating endorphins to naturally reduce pain. This handheld device is held over the skin for 30 seconds to several minutes depending on what is needed.
Therapeutic exercises
Therapeutic exercises are personally chosen for you to help your condition continue to improve. They can help you to achieve increased mobility, flexibility, and strength. After your issues have been resolved, it is important to make sure that they stay away and therapeutic exercise does just that.
Electric stimulation
Electronic stimulation therapy comes in several forms. Electrodes are placed over the problem area, and the current is used to shock the muscles. The shock causes contractions which lead to the muscles getting tired and relaxing,
