If neck pain is impacting your life in Fort Lauderdale, FL, Dr. Daniel Lewis at Handcraft Chiropractic has the knowledge, skills, and gentle hands to help you achieve pain relief.
Where Does Neck Pain Come From?
The neck, otherwise known as the cervical spine, is a small yet integral part of the body. It is made up of seven vertebrae and starts at the bottom of the skull. These vertebrae hold up and support the movement of the entire head.
This small area of the body is an easy target for injury and pain from a variety of causes, including but not limited to:
- Injuries, including car accidents, hits to the head, sports injuries, falls, and more
- Aging and normal wear and tear
- Repetitive motion
- Extended periods of sitting or standing
- Osteoarthritis
- Spinal stenosis
- Obesity
- Weak muscles
- Poor posture
Trouble in the neck area can cause headaches as well as pain, weakness, and numbness in the arms, shoulders, and back. Additionally, injuries and conditions in other parts of the body can impact the wellbeing of the neck.
Treatments for Neck Pain in Fort Lauderdale, FL
As neck pain is such a complex condition, it requires a medical care professional who understands the unique structure of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. Chiropractors like Dr. Lewis at Handcraft Chiropractic have this understanding, which makes them able to pinpoint and diagnose the specific issue or issues that are causing your pain.
Once the root cause is identified, Dr. Lewis works to determine the best course of treatment that will address both the root cause and the symptoms. This is because the foundation of chiropractic is built around the understanding that without treating the cause of pain, the body cannot be whole. Medication and similar therapies are simply BandAids. In order for the pain to truly be treated, the root cause must be addressed.
For this to happen, Dr. Lewis provides a variety of treatment options, which include:
- Spinal adjustments to help properly align the vertebrae, relieving any unnecessary stress and tension on the muscles, nerves, and joints
- Electrical stimulation to promote natural healing in the neck and shoulder area
- Therapeutic exercise to help stretch and strengthen the muscles, relieving pressure and encouraging proper support of the cervical spine
Dr. Lewis is committed to helping you achieve full pain relief through these treatments and more, depending on your specific condition and needs.
