Neck Pain Relief in Houston
Addressing Neck Pain Root Causes for Long-Term Comfort
Neck pain is a common issue that can stem from various causes, often impacting your ability to move freely and enjoy daily activities. At The Kinetic Chiro, serving the greater Houston, TX area, we’ll create a personalized plan that addresses the key contributors to your pain and teaches you effective strategies to find relief and prevent recurrence.
At The Kinetic Chiro, Dr. Kirbo frequently encounters two main types of neck pain:
1. Acute Neck Pain (“I Slept Wrong”)
Many patients experience sudden neck pain after waking up, often feeling severely debilitated for days. Our first goal is to relieve your immediate discomfort, but these flare-ups often indicate an underlying issue like poor posture, spinal misalignment, or chronic tension. We’ll identify the root cause and create a treatment plan to prevent future occurrences, so you can sleep soundly without worry.
2. Chronic Neck Tension
Chronic neck pain often presents as nagging tightness or discomfort in the upper traps, the muscles between your shoulders and head. Many people instinctively rub this area or stretch it, only to find relief is short-lived. This pain often stems from restricted spinal movement, trigger points in deeper neck muscles, or postural imbalances like forward head posture or upper back hunching (hyperkyphosis).
Chiropractic Care for Neck Pain
Dr. Kirbo’s chiropractic approach targets the underlying issues contributing to your neck pain, not just the symptoms. Chiropractic adjustments help re-establish normal joint motion in the neck and back, relieving tension and restoring balance. Trigger points, or hyper-reactive muscles, are also addressed to alleviate referred pain and tightness.
Additionally, we evaluate global postural distortions, such as loss of the natural neck curve, that may be putting unnecessary stress on your tissues. By correcting these imbalances, we reduce strain on your neck and upper back, promoting long-term comfort and function.
Let’s work together to restore comfort, mobility, and peace of mind in your daily life. Schedule your appointment today and take the first step toward neck pain relief.
