Common Questions About Neck Pain Relief

Neck pain can range from mild to debilitating. Here at the Health + Healing Chiropractic in Mississauga, we frequently help people suffering from neck pain and other associated musculoskeletal issues. Here are some of the most common questions our patients may have about neck pain.

Is My Neck Pain Part of Osteoarthritis or a Similar Condition?

If you have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis and have neck pain, there is a good chance that the two are related. But, of course, neck pain can also be caused by injury or excessive use leading to muscle strains.

Could My Neck Pain be Caused by an Underlying Condition Rather than an Injury?

Yes. Underlying conditions like arthritis can cause arthritic symptoms in the neck. Arthritis can lead to disc degeneration which can result in radiating pain or numbness and tingling in the arms and hands. However, if you have a reason to believe you have injured your neck and do not have an arthritic condition, the injury is likely to be the cause.

Will My Neck Pain Go Away without Treatment?

Neck pain, like any other pain, may fade without chiropractic assistance, however, just because the pain is gone doesn't mean that the problem is resolved. Many people like to avoid the expense and hassle of visiting a health professional, but delaying treatment can cost you years of additional pain and discomfort. The good news is that under a trained chiropractor, most neck injuries can be helped with gentle adjustments and patient-specific exercises.
