When you feel persistent aches, stiffness, or shooting pain in your neck, your first line of action may be to take oral medication. Typically, it’s pretty effective, right? But our team encourages you to ask yourself, “Are there better options for finding neck pain relief?”
The answer is yes, and you can find them at Family & Sport Chiropractic. We’ve earned the title of “neck specialists” because we treat the underlying source of pain, rather than masking it. Aligning our practice with functional medicine allows us to consider the whole body, not just individual symptoms, to give you the best care possible.
Your neck pain can stem from poor posture, age-related wear-and-tear, stress, and injury or trauma. Because we share a roof with Iowa Wellness Center, we combine regenerative medicine treatments with chiropractic care to provide you with a range of options for healing and restoring mobility. Here are some of our favorite options for neck pain treatment near Cedar Rapids.
Chiropractic Care
Through a series of treatment sessions, our chiropractors gently adjust your cervical spine using controlled, gentle pressure and restore proper alignment. We may also use specialized, targeted massages to alleviate muscle strain in your neck, as this treatment can actually reduce pain from headaches and migraines. It may come as a surprise to know that many headaches and migraines originate from tense neck muscles, making chiropractic care an effective chronic migraines treatment.
Physical Therapy
We often treat patients experiencing neck pain from whiplash, which can occur after a car accident, sports injury, or other traumas like falling. Our physical therapy services help you regain mobility and reduce pain so you feel back to your old self. We may rely on different stretches, massages, and exercises throughout your treatment plan.
Regenerative Medicine at Iowa Wellness Center
Chiropractic care and physical therapy work well to ease neck pain, but for accelerated healing, we use these treatments:
- Ozone Therapy – Using medical-grade ozone (a type of gas made with 3 oxygen atoms), we can treat disc injuries causing neck pain. Ozone shrinks spinal discs that sit between your vertebrae, relieving pressure on nerves, improving blood flow in the treatment area. We rely on ozone therapy for disc herniation treatment to improve mobility and stability in your cervical spine.
- PRP Injections – Using your own blood, we separate platelets (blood cells that promote clotting and healing) to form a concentrated serum and inject it into the treatment area. PRP injections relieve chronic pain and treat injuries to your tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints.
- Cold Laser Therapy – When applied directly to the treatment area, cold laser therapy uses low levels of light energy to pass through injured tissue. Once your cells absorb the light energy, they convert it into cellular energy to reduce inflammation, increase blood flow, and regenerate cells.
These treatments don’t replace chiropractic care, but they definitely enhance the benefits, helping you feel better, quicker.
