Testing for neck pain

If neck pain is bad enough for chiropractic or medical attention to be sought, the doctor will check for the exact spot where pain is being felt, asks questions to find out the possible causes and then gives treatment. Sometimes, an image test like an x-ray may be needed as well as tests on the nerves. This would reveal conditions like bone spurs, pressed or pinched nerves. An MRI would reveal even more details of the spinal cord and nerves.

Treating neck pain

A strained neck can be treated at home with steps like applying an ice or hot towel, depending on how long the pain has been experienced. However, persistent continuous or recurring pain should be treated by a chiropractor or an MD. A medical doctor may prescribe medicine such as painkillers and may be even muscle relaxants. Chiropractors would use ice/heat therapy along with different types of physiotherapy and adjustments to relieve the neck pain. A patient may also be asked to use a neck brace to relieve pressure off the muscles but this is recommended for short-term use. Neck stretching may also be offered so that neck muscles are stretched and strengthened. This is where a chiropractor comes in.
