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.
