How Our San Antonio Chiropractor Treats Neck Pain

Chiropractors believe that the source of pain and discomfort in the neck and back lies in vertebral subluxations, or misaligned vertebrae that impair the proper functioning of the soft tissues surrounding the spine. Vertebral subluxations can have a ripple effect, causing misalignments in other parts of the musculoskeletal structure and further pain and disease.

Our San Antonio chiropractor, Dr. Phillips, treats neck pain by manipulating the vertebra of the cervical (neck) spine with his hands. This returns the vertebra to their proper alignment, relieves pressure on the spinal disks, and helps restore a normal range of motion that can allow injured and traumatized muscles and other soft tissues to heal. Chiropractic care can relieve neck pain caused by:

• Disc injuries that are not severe enough to require surgery
• Whiplash
• Facet joint sprain
• Cervical sprains
• Degenerative joint disease in the cervical spine

Before administering any chiropractic treatment for neck pain, Dr. Phillips will take a full medical history and perform a thorough examination, including X-rays of the affected area, before forming a treatment plan. Your treatment plan will involve one or more spinal manipulations, and may also include nutritional therapy and supplements, therapeutic neck exercises to be done at home. The goal of chiropractic treatment is to relieve neck pain and restore a normal range of motion and normal functioning to your neck. Dr. Phillips likes to treat the whole person, not just the neck pain, so he may offer you advice on diet, exercise, stress management, and other lifestyle goals.
