Neck Pain Care in York
Turning to check your blind spot shouldn’t feel like a major undertaking. Neither should looking over your shoulder, working at your computer or getting comfortable at night. If neck pain or stiffness keeps getting in the way, Simply Chiropractic offers personalised chiropractic assessment and care in York.
When Your Neck Isn’t Moving Like It Used To
Pain is often what gets someone’s attention, but movement can provide useful information too. You may notice that turning your head is easier in one direction, your neck feels increasingly stiff after work or you have gradually changed how you move.
The upper neck plays an important role in rotation, so checking your range of motion forms part of understanding how your neck is functioning.
Your work, previous injuries, sport, posture and everyday habits all provide useful context.
Is It Really Just Your Posture?
For area office workers, academics and people working remotely, hours spent looking at a screen can certainly place demands on the neck and surrounding muscles. But simply being told to “sit up straight” does not tell you why your neck is uncomfortable.
Your assessment may include a posture scan, movement and orthopaedic testing, along with a conversation about how you spend your day:
- a posture scan
- movement and orthopaedic testing
We want to understand both what you are feeling and how your neck is functioning.
Where relevant, our chiropractors can also review existing MRI, CT or X-ray imaging as part of the wider clinical picture. From 23 October, clinically indicated X-rays can also be taken in-house when further imaging may be useful as part of your assessment.
An Individual Approach to Neck Care
If chiropractic care is considered appropriate, your recommendations will be tailored to your findings and goals rather than based on a standard programme.
The team uses a range of chiropractic methods, including Upper Cervical, Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP®), Gonstead and A.M.I.T.®. The techniques used will depend on your presentation, preferences and assessment findings.
If we identify signs that warrant further investigation or another type of healthcare, we will explain that too.
