Neck Pain Q & A

What causes neck pain?

Your neck is vulnerable to injuries, ranging from traumatic injuries like whiplash caused by a car accident to the strain of daily activities. The neck muscles are easily strained if you sleep in an awkward position or spend too much time bending your head to look at your smartphone, tablet, or computer.

Degenerative changes in your neck occur as you get older, causing pain from conditions such as:

Arthritis
Herniated discs
Bone spurs
Degenerative disc disease
Spinal stenosis

Any problem in your neck may press against spinal nerves, which adds to your symptoms.

What symptoms accompany neck pain?

Neck pain limits movement, often causing sudden pain if you move your head in a specific direction. Pinched nerves increase your pain and cause symptoms that travel along the nerve. As a result, you may experience pain and tingling in your shoulders, arms, and hands.

Severely damaged nerves cause numbness and muscle weakness in your arms and hands. Symptoms of muscle weakness include a weak grip and difficulty holding items.

How is neck pain treated?

At Zen Attitude Acupuncture, your pain is treated by an exceptional team with expertise in natural, holistic treatments that restore balance and ease symptoms. Your provider begins by completing a thorough evaluation to determine the problems causing your neck pain.

They recommend a care plan that targets all of the sources of your pain and supports your whole-person health. Your treatment may include one or more of the following:

Acupuncture

Acupuncture increases blood circulation, relaxes muscles, and stimulates the release of substances that ease pain and reduce inflammation.

Craniosacral therapy

This gentle, manual therapy relieves stress in your neck and supports natural healing by restoring the natural flow of cerebrospinal fluid.

Naturopathic medicine

Naturopathic medicine cares for your mind and body with treatments that promote healing, including dietary and lifestyle changes, stress management, supplements, and hands-on therapies.

Nutritional counseling

Your body depends on essential nutrients to produce energy, prevent and heal injuries and illnesses, and support your life. Nutritional changes may have a significant role in healing the cause of your neck pain. For example, an anti-inflammatory diet may help decrease the pain you feel.

Vitamin and homeopathic injections

A vitamin injection quickly restores balance if you’re low in nutrients. Homeopathic injections contain natural substances targeting your needs, such as reducing inflammation and relaxing neck muscles.
