Neck Pain

Here at Summit Chiropractic, we believe in healing the body, not just one ailment. But many times patients see us for localized pain and discomfort, such as neck pain, and it is our first priority to treat that condition first. By treating this area, the rest of the body also starts healing thanks to better balance and harmony. Unfortunately, neck pain is a common complaint with our patients, as it can result from injuries or repetitive motions and strain.
 
According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, the following causes can lead to neck pain:
  • Bad posture
  • Bending over for long periods of time
  • Whiplash and vehicle accidents
  • Sleeping in the wrong position
  • Turning or twisting
  • Sprains
  • Medical conditions
  • Infection or cancer of the spine
Pain medications only relieve the pain and discomfort for a short period of time, and it typically returns in a few hours. With chiropractic care provided by Dr. Kent Carlomagno, patients are addressing the cause of their neck pain, not just covering up the discomfort. This provides them with a long-term solution toward balancing their spine’s vertebrae and improving the pain continuously.
