Whether you’re an office worker spending long hours at a desk or an athlete engaging in high-impact activities, the risk of experiencing neck pain is significant. Understanding its causes and exploring chiropractic care as a holistic solution can help alleviate discomfort and improve quality of life. At Chiropractic USA, Dr. Fataneh Hooshdaran helps patients in Santa Clara, CA, find relief.

Types and Causes of Neck Pain

Neck pain can manifest in various forms, including:

  • Muscle Strain – Overuse or poor posture, such as leaning over a desk or smartphone, often results in stiffness and soreness, commonly known as "tech neck."
  • Injuries – Sudden movements, falls, or sports-related impacts can strain muscles or cause whiplash, leading to acute pain.
  • Degenerative Conditions – Issues like arthritis or herniated discs may cause chronic discomfort, often radiating to the shoulders and arms.
  • Tension and Stress - Emotional stress frequently leads to tightness in the neck and shoulders, causing tension headaches.

Why Neck Pain Affects Everyone

While the causes vary, the neck’s vulnerability to strain and injury makes it a universal issue. Office workers may develop repetitive strain from extended periods of poor ergonomics, while athletes are prone to acute injuries due to physical exertion. Even daily activities like sleeping in an awkward position or carrying heavy bags can trigger neck pain.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help

Chiropractic care with Dr. Hooshdaran offers a natural, holistic approach to treating neck pain. By addressing the root causes rather than masking symptoms, she provides targeted, effective solutions:

  • Spinal Adjustments – Realigning the spine relieves pressure on nerves, enhances mobility, and reduces pain.
  • Soft Tissue Therapy – Techniques like massage and stretching ease muscle tension and improve circulation, promoting healing.
  • Therapeutic Exercises – Dr. Hooshdaran will recommend personalized exercises to strengthen neck muscles, improve posture, and prevent future issues.
  • Lifestyle Advice – Ergonomic recommendations and stress management strategies help address underlying factors contributing to pain.

The Benefits of Holistic Treatment

Unlike medication or surgery, chiropractic care focuses on natural, non-invasive methods to restore the body’s balance and functionality. This comprehensive approach not only alleviates pain but also supports overall health and well-being, making it a valuable solution for neck pain.
