Neck Injuries & Pain

Neck injuries are very serious and should be treated right away. Symptoms of neck injury (besides neck discomfort and pain) include:

  • Headaches and pain at the base of the skull
  • Dizziness
  • Shoulder pain
  • Upper back pain
  • Spinal pain

Cervical spine pain isn’t only felt in the neck. In some cases, pain can be felt at the base of the skull, in the shoulder blade region and upper back. The different bones (vertebra) in your neck are referred to as levels – there are seven of them, shown in the figure below. These bones are connected by muscles, ligaments and spinal discs. Injury to the different levels can cause pain in different regions.

Figure 2. The different colors show the area where pain will be felt from different cervical joint injuries.

Abnormal neck curves can stretch and irritate the neck joints which may cause neck pain. Only spinal X-rays can show a chiropractor what the state of your neck curve is.

Figure 3. Abnormal neck curves (which can be revealed in an X-ray) can stretch and irritate the neck joints which may cause neck pain. Below are normal neck curves viewed from the side. By studying the abnormal neck curve, we can determine where the neck pain originated.

Neck Pain Treatment for Cervicogenic Pain

Cervicogenic pain affects a large part of the population, and while it is most prevalent in those with abnormal postures and disc degeneration, cervical pain can affect anyone.

Contrary to popular belief, on average, cervicogenic pain does not improve without treatment; once a person has experienced this type of pain, the odds are they will experience it again. Therefore, the cause of it should be determined and analyzed.

What should I wear to acupuncture sessions?

You will want to be as comfortable as possible during treatments. It’s important that the acupuncturist is able to access various points of the body. Wearing loose clothing is helpful and allows your acupuncturist to easily administer treatment. Either wear comfortable clothing or bring a change of clothing with you to make treatments as comfortable as possible. 

“Acupuncture can actually help to relieve stress and has the ability to provide patients with an alternative and natural method for treatment.”

Will I be able to relax during treatments?

Acupuncturists can provide you with a relaxed setting to receive acupuncture treatments. Often, they may lower the lights, turn on a sound machine and even a heat lamp. Acupuncture can actually help to relieve stress. Because of this, many people may find that once needles are placed they are able to fully relax and may even fall asleep. Every day, people from all over Montgomery County leave our office healthier and pain free. Contact our neck pain specialists today!

“A few months ago I re-injured my back and came into the clinic in a wheelchair. Today, about 3 months later, I just finished a 3 mile run. That alone should tell my experience. “
