Neck Pain FAQs
Exploring Common Questions and Answers About Neck Pain.
Does my neck need to be cracked?
Not necessarily. While cracking or adjusting the neck can provide relief for some patients, it may not be suitable for everyone. A thorough examination will help determine the best treatment approach for your specific needs.
What does the cracking sound in my neck mean?
The cracking sound, also known as crepitus, is caused by the release of gas bubbles within the synovial fluid of the joints. It is not always indicative of a problem, but if accompanied by pain or discomfort, it should be assessed by a professional.
Why can’t I turn my neck as far as I used too?
Reduced neck mobility can be caused by various factors, such as muscle tension, joint stiffness, arthritis, or injury. A proper diagnosis is essential to identify the underlying cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
Is it ok to crack my neck when I have disc protrusions?
No, it is not recommended to self-manipulate or crack your neck if you have disc protrusions. Doing so could potentially worsen your condition. Always seek professional guidance from a chiropractor or medical professional.
How do you treat neck spinal surgeries/fusions?
For neck spinal surgeries/fusions, our approach combines gentle techniques, soft tissue therapy, rehabilitation exercises, and heating modalities to improve function and manage pain based on the patient’s specific procedure.
Why do steroid injections only help for so long?
In our professional medical opinion, steroid injections are a temporary solution that reduces inflammation and pain. They do not address the underlying cause of the problem, which is why symptoms may return once the effects of the injection wear off.
Can this pain get worse?
Neck discomfort left unchecked can certainly worsen, particularly if accompanied by numbness, tingling, or burning sensations into the arms or legs. Seeking timely treatment following a comprehensive approach prevents the condition from escalating
