What Do Neck Pain Diagnoses Entail?
In order to determine an accurate diagnosis, the team begins with a comprehensive consultation and physical exam. During your consultation, the team asks about the location of your pain and activities that make your pain better or worse. Next, they check your flexibility, range of motion, muscle strength, and nerve function in your neck and shoulders.
The physical exam also includes orthopedic testing to assess the health of your joints and muscles. These tests involve stretches and movements that may aggravate your pain or provide relief. In some cases, the team may also require X-rays or an MRI at an imaging facility.
Once the team has finished your exam, they provide a diagnosis and outline a treatment plan to help you heal.
What is the Treatment for Neck Pain?
Treatment for neck pain depends on your diagnosis and overall pain intensity. The Premier Chiropractic team begins care with the goal of relieving pain through chiropractic treatment, soft tissue work, and acupuncture. As your condition improves, the team incorporates more active rehab therapies, including exercises and stretches to heal your muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
