Neck Pain Relief in Mt. Prospect
Suffering from Neck Pain (Cervical Pain)?
Our necks have an extremely important job of bridging our brain to our bodies through a complex system of cervical disks, ligaments, muscles, and spinal nerves. Though our necks are extremely tough, the support of the weight of our heads might cause stress and pain as our necks absorb shock and provide motion and support to our heads.
There are preventative ways to avoid some this pain and stress like:
- Improved sleeping positions
- Improving back posture
- Adjusting workspace chair, desk, and computers
- Neck Exercises
- Taking breaks from minimal motion activities
When neck pain is decreasing your quality of life, it might be time to seek the care of a professional. Dr. Katarina Schulze is a licensed Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner (C.C.E.P) that provides not only neck pain diagnosis, but relief strategies tailored to your lifestyle.
