Neck pain can make your life restrictive. The pain can keep you home and away from your job and your friends. Dr. Adam Zsely of Strongsville Chiropractic Health Center in Strongsville, OH can get to the root of your neck pain and recommend the therapy that is appropriate for your particular neck issue.
The neck is a vital body part. It connects your brain to your back and supports your head. The causes of neck pain can be as simple as sleeping in the wrong position or as complex as whiplash. No matter what the cause, Dr. Zsely will get to the root of the problem and provide the care that is required.
Manual manipulation
Dr. Zsely uses Diversified and Activator manipulation. The Diversified Technique is a common chiropractic technique which uses high velocity, low amplitude thrusts to move the vertebrae back into alignment. This technique often creates the popping sound that people associate with chiropractic adjustment. This technique is most often applied using hands on the spine. The Activator is a device that is a gentle way to provide adjustments. It is high speed and controlled force which allows it to provide the adjustment before the muscles can respond and tense up.
Massage therapy
Massage therapy helps spinal adjustment to work more efficiently, and is a complement to many chiropractic techniques and therapies. Different types of massage are used for different conditions depending on what is going on with your body. Swedish and Deep Tissue massage are more vigorous than relaxation massage. Both types provide relief for tense and hurting muscles, tendons and ligaments.
Electric stimulation
When neck pain is caused by muscular issues, electrical stimulation therapy can help to get rid of the pain and stiffness. Low levels of electric current are applied to the afflicted area, and it causes the muscles to flex lightly. When they get tired they relax and this can reduce or get rid of the pain completely.
Ultrasound therapy
Ultrasound sound therapy helps to produce heat deep within the tissues of the neck. It can help to accelerate healing at the cellular level. It also increases circulation and breaks down scar tissue.
