Neck pain comes from many different sources. One that is quite common is from an auto accident. Whiplash can clearly have an adverse effect on your neck, but there are other injuries that may not be quite as obvious. When you have neck pain in Indiana and Apollo, PA, Dr. David Hoff and Dr. Todd Trinkley of Hoff Chiropractic Clinics can provide relief. Since they take same-day appointments, our office is perfect for that immediate visit you need after an accident.
Chiropractic adjustment
When your neck is in pain, there is a serious possibility that one of your vertebrae may be out of alignment. By performing an adjustment on the neck, the chiropractor can move the vertebrae into place. The adjustment may be done with the chiropractor’s hands, or it may be done with a small handheld instrument. The adjustment helps not only the vertebrae but also the soft tissue that supports the neck.
Chiropractic massage therapy
Chiropractic massage is the perfect complement to spinal adjustment. The two work so well together that the combination is more effective than either of the treatments done separately. The relaxation that massage provides allows the neck adjustment to be performed more easily and effectively.
Electric stimulation
Electric stimulation uses low levels of electric current to help the tense muscles to relax. Electrodes are placed on the skin and the current causes the muscles to contract. This is done quickly, and the muscles get tired and release. It is a painless and easy therapy to help with tension and muscle spasms.
Therapeutic exercise
Therapeutic exercise is a very important part of chiropractic treatment. It helps to improve your mobility, balance, strength, and flexibility. The stretching and strengthening exercises will target the injured area. You will be able to do your exercises at home so you will have long-term results and avoid a relapse of neck pain.
