Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care for Stiff Neck Relief
A stiff neck is often caused by tension, muscle strain, or misalignment in the spine, all of which can lead to discomfort, restricted movement, and even headaches. At Boise Peak Chiropractic, we specialize in addressing these underlying causes through upper cervical chiropractic care. This technique focuses on the top two vertebrae in the neck, which are critical for supporting the head and ensuring proper spinal alignment. When these vertebrae are out of alignment, it can lead to a ripple effect of tension and pain, not only in the neck but throughout the body. Misalignments in this area are common but often overlooked, which can prolong discomfort and make recovery challenging.
By using gentle, precise chiropractic adjustments, we aim to realign these vertebrae and relieve the pressure they put on surrounding nerves and muscles. This method helps to reduce inflammation and restore balance to your nervous system, alleviating stiffness and improving range of motion. Chiropractic care is a safe, non-invasive treatment option that works to address the root cause of the problem rather than merely masking symptoms.
At Boise Peak Chiropractic, our chiropractic care for stiff neck relief includes:
- Upper Cervical Adjustments: Focused on realigning the uppermost vertebrae to relieve pressure on nerves and muscles.
- Nervous System Based Chiropractic Techniques: Targeting the body’s nervous system to ensure proper communication between the spine and the rest of the body.
- 3D Imaging CBCT Scans: These advanced scans allow us to see detailed images of your spine to ensure accuracy and precision in our care.
We provide individualized care plans tailored to each patient, recognizing that every case of neck stiffness is unique. Our goal is not only to relieve your current pain but also to improve long-term spinal health and reduce the likelihood of recurring stiffness or discomfort. With our chiropractic care, you can expect a comprehensive approach that supports healing and overall well-being.
