Common Causes of Neck Pain in Harrisburg

If you are experiencing pain in your neck or shoulders, there’s a good chance you have an injury, but thankfully, our Harrisburg Chiropractor is here to help. Neck injuries can be caused by falls, getting hit in the head and getting into a car accident. Common injuries and conditions include whiplash, a herniated disc, poor posture, especially while working at a computer, sprains and strains and arthritis. Our chiropractor in Harrisburg can identify the causes of your symptoms and recommend a treatment program.

Symptoms of a Neck Injury

Neck injuries can cause a variety of symptoms, including neck pain and stiffness, shoulder and upper back pain and numbness and tingling in your arms. If you have a severe injury, you may also experience headaches and blurry vision.

Treatment for Neck Injuries from our Chiropractor

Our chiropractor can locate the musculoskeletal injuries in your neck and recommend one or more treatment options to help heal your injuries.

Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care starts with spinal adjustments, which are a non-invasive way to realign your cervical vertebrae. They are beneficial for healing whiplash and relieving arthritis pain.

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy helps relax your muscles, ligaments and other soft tissues while promoting circulation. Our chiropractor in Harrisburg recommends getting a massage before your adjustment in order to maximize the benefits of both treatments.

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression

Spinal decompression, which is also sometimes referred to as mechanical traction, is a non-invasive and comfortable way to increase the spaces between your vertebrae. This treatment helps alleviate pain caused by pinched nerves and facilitates the healing of herniated discs.

Other Treatments

We may also recommend cold laser therapy and/or acupressure to help decrease your recovery time and help alleviate your symptoms.
