Chiropractic Techniques for Back and Neck Pain

Neck and back pain are two of the more common musculoskeletal issues. They may stem from an accident, injury, disease, or overuse. Fortunately, you don't have to become reliant on over-the-counter pain medications or turn to surgery. With chiropractic care, we can address your neck or lower back pain through natural techniques. At Circle Chiropractic Center, P.C., serving Fairfax, VA, our team of experts provides natural solutions to alleviate your pain and help your body heal. Here are just some of the methods we may use.

Alignments

Our chiropractor, Dr. Christopher Frey, can reduce stress on the muscles and soft tissue of your neck and back through adjustments. During an adjustment, we realign the vertebrae so they are in line with the discs in your back. This also optimizes circulation throughout these areas.

Rehabilitation Exercises

When determining a treatment plan for you, we may recommend exercises that slowly work on your neck and back. They promote blood flow to the area and improve your range of motion.

Ergonomic Changes

You'll receive advice on ways to sit and stand that reduce stress on your neck and back. Proper work ergonomics is particularly important if you have a job where you sit a majority of the day, such as an office job or truck driving.

Spinal Decompression

Spinal decompression therapy is another option for neck and back pain. Our chiropractor, Dr. Christopher Frey, will ask you to lie on a table connected to a device that will stretch your spine out, creating more space for your vertebrae and alleviating pain.

Lifestyle Changes

We might also recommend that you eat healthier and exercise to keep your weight in a healthy range. This will take pressure off your neck and back. We will recommend that you participate in regular exercises at home to keep your muscles and soft tissues working and flexible.
