Back and Neck Pain

What Causes Back and Neck Pain?

Back and Neck pain can be caused by poor posture, such as slouching when sitting and pushing the head forward, causing misalignment of the spine. Muscle overuse can also lead to pain in the neck and back, as well as injury to discs, muscles, and ligaments.

Back and Neck Pain Symptoms

Neck pain symptoms include pain that worsens by holding your head in one position for a period of time, muscle tightness and spasms, decreased ability to move your head, and headaches.

Back pain symptoms can range in sensation from a muscle ache to a shooting, burning, or stabbing sensation. Pain may radiate down your legs, or worsen when bending, twisting, standing, lifting, or walking.

How a Chiropractor Treats Back and Neck Pain

Neck and back adjustments during chiropractic treatment help improve the mobility of the spine and restore range of motion. Adjustments can also increase the range of motion of adjoining muscles. These improvements in mobility help relieve pressure on nerves that may be causing neck and back pain. Ready for relief from neck and back pain? Schedule an appointment today.

Client testimonials:

“I have had chronic neck issues for years. Lately the pain had been increasing and I had noticed other uncomfortable symptoms starting. My PCP didn’t find anything “wrong” and scheduled me to start physical therapy. However, one night the pain was so severe, I contacted a friend for a referral and she recommended Dr. Dylan. I’ve been nervous to have people touch my neck, even when getting a massage. I’ve also steered clear of chiropractors based on a less then ideal experience years ago. I felt desperate for relief and also felt a knowing that Dr. Dylan could help. Upon meeting Dr. Dylan I immediately felt calmer and trusted myself in his care. His intuitive approach, energy, and space holding for what came up, felt grounding and nourishing. I feel much better after just one session. My neck has more range of motion and less pain. I also slept on my back for the first time in many many years...and it felt great. Pre Dr. Dylan’s adjustment, one of my legs wouldn’t relax outward, and now it does...cool. I look forward to seeing Dr. Dylan in a few days to continue adjustments and feel even better. I feel excited and grateful to have him as part of my wellness team. Thank you SO much Dr. Dylan!”

“I badly tweaked my back and had noticeable improvement and relief after one visit with Dr. Dylan to treat this issue. After my second visit (today), the improvement is profound. He is not only skilled and knowledgeable, he also has a very calming and caring presence. I highly recommend him!”
