if you suffer from neck pain, you are familiar with the discomfort it brings. To understand the causes of neck pain, it's helpful to learn about the cervical spine. The cervical spine consists of seven vertebrae, with seven discs between them that act as cushions, allowing your neck to bend and twist.
When muscles or ligaments are injured, the vertebrae and discs may not function properly, leading to temporary neck pain. However, if your neck pain persists for several weeks, it could indicate a spinal misalignment, herniated disc, or another serious condition.
Neck pain is common in the U.S., with about 1 in 3 adults experiencing it at any given time. A variety of injuries and underlying conditions can lead to pain in the neck. In some cases, neck pain is simply the result of the natural wear and tear that occurs with age or as a result of other medical conditions. At County Line, we commonly treat neck pain caused by car accidents, slip and falls, and personal injury.
Our team employs a range of proven methods to address neck pain, including chiropractic adjustments, ice and heat therapy, stretching exercises, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and physical therapy. Each patient receives a personalized treatment plan tailored to their specific needs, with flexibility to adapt based on their progress and response to care.
After a brief consultation to discuss your neck pain, injury, and relevant accident history, we will conduct a thorough neurological and physical examination to assess the extent of the damage. X-ray and MRI imaging may be performed to aid in the accurate diagnosis. We will then provide a report of findings, explaining your injury and outlining both in-office and at-home treatment plans.
