Neck Pain and Shoulder Pain Relief at Freehold NJ Chiropractor

Everybody has that neck pain and sometimes shoulder pain that occurs. Stress, tension, daily activities like sitting at a computer, slouching, carrying a heavy pocket book or briefcase, work activities, as well as typing or sleeping incorrectly on your side or stomach can cause the bones in the neck and back to misalign. When this happens you get pressure on the nerves, joint dysfunction, and possibly damage to the discs. If left long term, degeneration can occur very similar to leaving a cavity without treatment.

Taking medication for the pain only temporarily covers up the symptoms. This can be dangerous as it gives you false security that the problem is fixed. The underlying cause of the pain is still present and the next time the pain presents itself it is usually worse as well as the actual cause of the symptoms.

As a chiropractor in Freehold, NJ, I see many patients who present with neck pain and shoulder pain. I do a thorough evaluation to explain to you what is the cause of your problem and how we will actually correct it. A chiropractic treatment plan, as well as home exercise and nutritional guidance is important to incorporate to obtain correction. For over 14 years we continue to successfully get results patients are happy with so they can once again enjoy their normal daily activities without the harmful side effects of NSAIDs, pain medications and other pills.

Neck Pain Treatment Study Shows Chiropractic Has 94% Success

If you are like millions of other people looking for the best neck pain treatment look no further! Neck pain is very common with people either waiting it out to see if the symptoms go away themselves or running to their medical doctor that just pushes another pain pill or muscle relaxer that at bests covers up the pain temporarily. Those that play the waiting game usually find the pain doesn’t go away and just gets worse. The others who pop the pills become reliant on them and start experiencing the many harmful side effects.

Studies Show Chiropractic Provides 94% Success Rate in Neck Pain Relief — Studies Show Chiropractic Provides 94% Success Rate in Neck Pain Treatment

But did you know what has the highest success rates in providing neck pain treatment? A study in The Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy shows that the best answer to your neck pain is chiropractic treatment with over 94% approval. Even better these results were seen in just one week of treatment!

In this study, 64 patients suffering with neck pain were randomly split into 2 groups. The first group received only cervical (neck) adjustments with a home exercise program. The second group received the same neck pain treatment but additionally were adjusted in the thoracic spine to see if treatment of this region would provide further neck pain relief.

Each patient was assessed with a pain rating scale, neck disability outcome and global rate of change prior to treatment and after just 2 sessions in a 1 week plan. The patients in the experimental group of receiving adjustments in both the cervical and thoracic region experienced a significantly greater improvement than those that just received cervical treatment. 94% in the cervical plus thoracic group compared to 35% in the group treated in the neck only.

So after only 2 treatments in one week, patients who get adjusted in the cervico-thoracic regions of the spine show a 94% significant improvement in neck pain relief! Even better this is all natural using gentle, non-invasive chiropractic care without the risks of medication or surgery.

It’s important that when you go to a chiropractor that you are treated in all regions of the spine for your neck pain treatment. Some doctors will just treat the neck but the thoracic area gets severely restricted with the many daily stresses we put in our body. Things like sitting at a computer desk all day, carrying purses and brief cases, texting and talking on your phone are increasing problems in this area of the spine. The upper thoracic spine is a transitional area from the neck to the rest of the spine and most people carry their stress here. By addressing both areas we are able to get better outcomes in the treatment of your neck pain.

Are you or somebody you know experiencing neck pain? Stop sitting around hoping it will go away on its own! Stop popping those dangerous pills! Call Freehold Chiropractor, Dr. Russell Brokstein, to start experiencing the success of chiropractic in providing neck pain treatment in as little as one week!

Do Your Kids Suffer with Neck Pain and Migraines?

Do you have kids that suffer with neck pain and migraines? Studies have shown for years that most migraines and other headaches stem from neck problems. Adults have been seeking chiropractic care to address the cause of the

Neck Pain and Migraines get relief naturally with Chiropractic

neck pain and migraines. Chiropractic is also very effective in treating pediatric cases of headaches and pain relief.

A case study of a 12 year old boy with vertigo, neck pain and migraines is just one of many studies showing that chiropractic is beneficial to children. The headaches and pain were so severe the child was missing many days of school. The boy was treated 3 to 4 times per week the first month with chiropractic then gradually decreased treatment to one time per month. The child was also shown home stretching for his neck.

The neck pain and migraines stopped after just one week of treatment. The vertigo relief occurred gradually then eventually stopped also. The boy’s attendance improved by 75% since beginning chiropractic.

Another case study of a girl with neck pain and migraines after an accident showed resolution of symptoms after just 5 visits. She was also able to return to all activities after just 9 visits.

As a Freehold Chiropractor we see many cases too where kids and teenagers are suffering with neck pain and migraines. This past summer we were fortunate enough to help a 17 year old who came in for back pain. The mother was telling us how he also has experienced migraines for as long as can remember. Upon a thorough evaluation it was found multiple areas of his neck were subluxated. These subluxations or misalignments are many times the cause of neck pain and migraines. After just one visit his headaches went away. By addressing the cause of the symptoms, we get results where traditional medicine fails. Medication has its place but too many times they only look at the location of pain. Drugs also only mask the symptoms and don’t fix the cause.

These studies as well as many others show the extreme effectiveness of chiropractic in helping children that suffer with neck pain and migraines. If you have children who are suffering and looking for neck pain relief or migraine relief contact a chiropractor near you.

Most doctors just prescribe one medication after another. These medications might give you temporary relief but you are starting to realize they do not get rid of the pain or solve the problem. While masking the symptoms, the underlying causes are actually worsening.
