Neck Pain Due to Bad Posture? Chiropractic Can Help
One of the most common causes of neck pain is poor posture. With so many people taking part in activities that require looking downwards for long periods of time at a laptop, book, phone, or their computer keyboard at work, it’s no wonder that neck pain and other cervical spine issues are on the rise.
Poor posture can cause neck pain, inflammation, and musculoskeletal issues that spread down your spine to your lower back. Dr. Dawson at Eldorado Chiropractic in McKinney can evaluate your neck pain to determine its root cause, and provide holistic treatment options that will improve your home and work life.
How Poor Posture Causes Neck Pain
The human head weighs between 10-12 pounds. Frequent or prolonged time spent with your head tilted forward, such as when you read or use your phone while in bed, or hunch over at a computer or laptop, will eventually place too much stress on the cervical spine.
The longer you spend in poor posture positions, the more chronic and pervasive your neck pain will become, as these muscles become more susceptible to strains and spasms. The increased stress on your cervical spine can cause chronic pain, stiffness, inflammation, and poor mobility.
How Eldorado Chiropractic Treats Neck Pain
Dr. Dawson has extensive education and training in how to spot overuse injuries and poor posture that can lead to chronic neck pain. He will take a detailed patient history and may also perform imaging tests to determine the extent of the injury to your cervical spine and upper back.
Once Dr. Dawson has confirmed the underlying cause of your neck pain, he can develop a holistic chiropractic care plan to address your pain and help you resume your regular daily activities. This may include therapeutic exercises and stretching that you can do at home in order to prevent neck pain and stiffness, as well as lifestyle modification counseling, chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue and massage therapy, and possibly physical modalities like muscle stimulation and therapeutic ultrasound.
