Are you suffering from neck pain? Austin Chiropractic & Rehab is here to help. Our Austin chiropractor, Dr. McHone, has helped thousands of patients suffering from moderate to severe neck pain and stiffness in Austin for more than 30 years. 

Here are the top 5 most common questions asked about neck pain. 

What Causes Neck Pain?

The top 3 causes of neck pain that we see often at our chiropractic office include:

1. Whiplash

2. Postural problems

3. Sports injury


What Symptoms Are Associated With Neck Pain?

Neck pain symptoms can vary widely. Common symptoms usually involves one or more of the following:

  • Stiff neck.  You may be unable to move your neck from side to side or up and down due to sleeping incorrectly or even due to text neck.  
  • General soreness in one spot or area on the neck.
  • Radiating pain from the neck into the shoulders and arms & might feel like it’s burning or searing.
  • Tingling, numbness, or weakness. There could be a “pins-and-needles” sensation.
  • Neck Injuries can cause headaches, numbness in your arms or legs, loss of flexibility, back pain, dizziness, and arm weakness.


Can Neck Pain Be A Sign of Something More Serious?

It is common for people to experience neck pain from time to time. In most cases, neck pain is not a sign of something more serious. People can often treat their pain using home remedies and neck stretches. However, if your pain is severe, has persisted for some time, or feel it's getting worse, it is best to see a nearby chiropractor or your existing medical practitioner to rule out something more serious.  


Is It Good To Go To A Chiropractor After A Car Accident?

If you’re asking, “Is it good to go to a chiropractor after an accident?” the answer is yes. You should see a chiropractor or a medical professional following an auto accident.

While almost everyone will experience sore muscles and/or body aches after a crash, it’s not always apparent within a few hours.

If you’re wondering how long you should wait to see a chiropractor after an accident, we advise any individuals hurt in a car accident to see a doctor no more than 72 hours after the incident.  In my experience, patients receiving care earlier are able to reduce the pain and swelling and begin early return of normal joint function and alignment. 

When you visit our Austin chiropractic office, we'll be able to tell you not only why you're likely experiencing your neck pain, but also how to stop the pain response and prevent it in the future. All pain is serious when it affects your quality of life, and every patient of ours is treated with equal care and concern.


Neck Pain Chiropractor or Massage?

When patients ask me which is the better option “Neck pain chiropractor or massage”, the answer we give is: it depends.

It is important to always treat the cause of the pain.  When someone has a subluxation or pinched nerve, massage will not likely correct the spinal problem. 

As healing progresses, a massage can help restore flexibility and improve circulation.  Both of these options provide healing with chiropractors focusing on the nervous system and massage therapists the soft tissue.  Both share the common goal of restoring an individual’s health and wellness. However, each uses a different approach. 

Chiropractic treatment involves the gentle re-alignment of the musculoskeletal system, which includes the spine, muscles, tendons and joints.

Chiropractic treatment is performed by a Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.), who focuses on the alignment of the spine and specific joints. Chiropractors use their hands or specialized tool(s) to apply controlled pressure to an affected area. Research has shown that chiropractic adjustments are a safe and effective treatment option for the relief of neck pain

A massage, performed by a licensed massage therapist, involves applying direct pressure to soft tissue or muscle groups to relieve pain and promote healing and wellness. Massage therapy, on the flip side, focuses on the stimulation of muscles and is not used to treat pain associated with the spine, joints or tendons. 

However, many find that receiving a combination of both a massage and chiropractic treatment leads to additional healing and helps decrease discomfort and inflammation. All in all, chiropractors are trained to evaluate and diagnose the injuries of the spine and determine if further testing is needed. Pain is the body's way of signaling us that something is wrong and needs correction. 

If you're only experiencing mild discomfort, a massage session might be all you need to improve your symptoms. However, if your pain persists after a traumatic event like a car accident, it's in your best interest to see a doctor or chiropractor near you for neck pain evaluation and treatment.
