Can Chiropractic Care Help My Neck Pain?

Are you tired of living with persistent neck pain that doesn’t go away? You're not alone. Nearly everyone has encountered neck pain at some point. Sleeping in an odd position, bending your neck too far to read a text (called tech neck), or pulling a muscle are common causes of neck pain. Research indicates that psychological stress, anxiety, and lack of social support can also contribute to your neck pain! In other words, neck pain is extremely common.

But can chiropractic care help your neck pain? Yes! If you've been searching for relief and are considering chiropractic care, you're in the right place. At Dr. Hipp's Chiropractic, Katherine Hipp, DC, and her team specialize in Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP) ® certified treatments.

Read on to learn how this approach can alleviate your neck pain.

Understanding the Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP) technique

The CBP technique is a highly specialized and research-backed approach to chiropractic care. It uses postural and radiographic (X-Ray) analysis procedures to assess and improve spinal alignment.

Developed in 1980, it focuses on correcting spinal misalignments, also known as subluxations, which can lead to various health problems, including neck pain.

The CBP technique has two goals. First, it emphasizes the optimal posture and spinal alignment. Second, it focuses on reducing pain and improving your spinal functionality.

The science behind CBP

CBP is not just based on anecdotal evidence or traditional chiropractic methods; it’s firmly grounded in scientific research. This includes posture modeling studies, case studies, randomized trials, and peer-reviewed clinical investigations.

How CBP addresses neck pain

Now let’s look at the particular question: how can chiropractic care, specifically the CBP technique, address your neck pain? The CBP technique can:

Correct your posture

One of the primary causes of neck pain is poor posture. Dr. Hipp employs the CBP technique because it strongly emphasizes postural correction. By improving the alignment of your spine, CBP can help reduce the strain on your neck muscles and decrease pain and discomfort.

Improve spinal alignment

As a certified CBP practitioner, Dr. Hipp uses advanced techniques and technology to analyze your spine's alignment. She develops personalized treatment plans to correct cervical spine misalignments that contribute to neck pain.

Improve your range of motion

Think about the last time you had a stiff neck. You likely couldn't move your neck much, at least not without excruciating pain. Neck pain often restricts your ability to move your head and neck comfortably.

Chiropractic care, including CBP adjustments and exercises, can help improve your range of motion and regain mobility.

Reduce neck misalignments that lead to headaches

Many people with neck pain also suffer from headaches. CBP chiropractic aims to correct spinal misalignments that can contribute to tension headaches and migraines.

Improve neuromodulation disorders

CBP chiropractic optimizes the function of your nervous system. By addressing spinal misalignments, our team enhances neuromodulation, which may contribute to improved sensory and motor function, helping you manage disorders related to the nervous system.

Improve sagittal balance

Proper spinal alignment is essential for maintaining sagittal balance, which refers to your body's alignment from the front or back view. Imbalances can lead to pain and discomfort. CBP chiropractic techniques can help restore sagittal balance and reduce strain on your neck.

Provide long-term relief

Chiropractic care isn’t just about temporary relief. It aims to address the root causes of neck pain, poor posture, and spinal misalignments to reach long-term results.
