How Chiropractic Can Help Neck Pain Caused by Bad Posture
Bad posture can negatively affect you from one end of the spine to the other, causing headaches, back pain, neck pain, and more. Neck pain treatment in Oxnard can help you find relief from your pain and learn how to avoid bad posture and future neck pain.
How Bad Posture Causes Neck Pain
Bad posture causes neck pain because your head is heavy, weighing between 10 to 12 pounds on average—and that’s when you’re sitting or standing straight. As soon as you tilt your head forwards or backwards, there is more strain on your neck muscles to hold your head up. Sitting hunched over while texting can put up to 60 pounds of pressure on your neck and back, hence the pain.
All that strain can lead to headaches, neck pain, disc degeneration in the neck, inflammation, and nerve irritation, leading to potentially lengthy and expensive care to find relief. However, there are steps you can take to avoid all this.
How Chiropractic Care Relieves Neck Pain
Skip the pain pills and seek Oxnard neck pain treatment from our chiropractor, Dr. Lemons. He can evaluate your posture, ask lifestyle questions, and identify what’s going on to trigger neck pain. He can also give you posture correction tips to help stop the cycle of pain, provide neck and back adjustments to provide both immediate and lasting pain relief, and refer you to our in-house physical therapists to help rehabilitate your neck and back muscles so they hold proper posture. When neck muscles are used to holding the wrong posture, they need help relearning good posture.
