Neck Pain Treatment in Boston
Your neck, or cervical spine, is very delicate and is home to many nerves, ligaments, tendons, blood vessels, and soft tissues. Your cervical spine holds the spinal cord, which sends messages to your brain to control different parts of your body. When you have an injury to this part of your body, it is vital to immediately seek professional treatment. For years, Charles Street Family Chiropractic has been leading the way in helping patients in Boston, MA, and the surrounding area get the whiplash neck pain relief they need. Few things are more unnerving than not being able to move your neck and head around the way you normally do. Many patients describe feeling their entire upper body tense up because of discomfort. This can have an extremely detrimental effect on your everyday life and lead to more chronic pains.
Pain All Over Your Body Starting at the Neck
At Charles Street Family Chiropractic, Dr. Quigley understands that an injured or strained cervical spine can cause great bodily discomfort. Chronic neck pain can cause radiating pain down your arm, which may move along to the arms and fingers and cause numbness or tingling in the area. Sometimes, degenerative changes may occur in the cervical spine, also causing chronic neck pain. At our office in Boston, MA, we go through a comprehensive exam with every patient to help determine the cause of the neck pain and how to get you feeling good again. We explore a wide range of chiropractic regimens to ensure you begin to recover.
Whiplash Related Neck Pain
For people who have sustained car, sports, or work-related injuries, whiplash, or an unexpected jerk or movement, the culprits of your neck pain and injury may be clear. Whiplash causes the muscles in your neck to tighten, often resulting in other symptoms such as headaches and shoulder pain. MDs may prescribe medication that treats the symptoms, but not the root of your neck pain. At Charles Street Family Chiropractic, our Boston chiropractic clinic addresses the cause of your neck pain and treats your whiplash or other neck injuries with our expert chiropractic services.
