Seeing a chiropractor can help you relieve chronic neck pain. Chiropractors focus on making sure your spine is functioning correctly and that the many nerves in your neck are working as they should.
A subluxation is a vertebrae that has abnormal motion and causes nerve irritation. In your neck, a subluxation can put pressure on the nerve roots to your brachial plexus and cause pain. To get relief from this neck pain, it’s important to work with a Chiropractor in getting the subluxation corrected, relieving the tension, and letting your neck heal properly.
What Causes Neck Pain?
Neck pain can come from a number of different sources. In many cases, it’s the result of a problem with your spine that may have been there for some time without you realizing it.
The longer neck pain goes untreated, the more likely it becomes that you’ll begin to experience a combination of muscle spasms and stiffness. Neck pain can also lead to headaches and difficulty sleeping at night. If this sounds like something you suffer from on a regular basis, chiropractic treatment could help speed up your recovery so you can feel better in no time.
Symptoms of a subluxated vertebra may include:
Neck pain that gets worse when you turn your head or look up or down
Stiffness in your neck
Tingling, numbness, burning, or weakness in one arm (usually but not always on the same side as the problem)
Headaches
Our chiropractic team in Tallahassee will do an examination to find out where your spine is causing problems and causing neck pain. Then we’ll work with you on treatment options to get you on the path to recovery.
Stretches to Help with Chronic Neck Pain
At home, you can try to alleviate some neck pain issues by doing stretches on a regular basis. Here are some good stretches for your neck that can help with discomfort.
Neck Flexion Stretch
Neck Extension Stretch
Chin Tuck Stretch
Scalene Stretch
Upper Trap Stretch
Sternocleidomastoid stretch
Pectoralis Minor stretch
Doing your own stretches does not necessarily fix the underlying problem. It’s still recommended to see our Chiropractic team in Tallahassee to take care of the underlying cause of your neck pain, make sure your spine is aligned properly, and promote proper healing of your neck.
Chiropractic Treatment for Neck Pain in Tallahassee
If you’re experiencing neck pain, you need to see our chiropractors for an exam. We’ll work with you on developing a treatment plan that includes stretching, strengthening exercises, and specific chiropractic adjustments to fix the problem. This will restore your spine to its proper function so you can feel better now and in the future.
Chiropractic care is different than other types of medical treatments because it focuses on restoring normal function to your body through your spine instead of masking or suppressing symptoms with medication. Our chiropractor will make sure nothing is causing the misalignment (such as arthritis), prescribe stretches and exercises like those above, and help get things back in working order.
I can highly recommend Dr. Alex Shippy to anyone looking for an excellent chiropractor.
He is a graduate of the Palmer chiropractic school! I have been using Palmer chiropractic graduates for my chiropractic needs for more than 3 decades!!!
When I first came to his office I was dealing with significant sciatica pain and my mobility was becoming very limited.
Something as simple as walking longer distances was beginning to become extremely uncomfortable for me.
After working with Dr. Shippy my sciatica pain and additionally my neck pain has not only decreased dramatically but on regular visits with Dr Alex Shippy my adjustments are becoming much smaller adjustments and my NECK AND mobility has DRAMATICALLY .
One thing that really stands out is how thorough and attentive he is. His intake process is very detailed and he spends real time understanding what is going on with your body.
Dr. ALEX Shippy truly takes the time to ask how you are doing and evaluate what actually needs attention ON YOUR CURRENT VISIT!!!
Dr. Shippy is incredibly patient, professional, and his scheduling is usually always accommodating and easy to schedule upcoming appointments!!!
Dr shippy is amazing, he has helped my dogs mobility immensely. My dogs love him and its been so great seeing my dogs behave like puppies after their adjustments
Incredibly professional, detailed history, comprehensive neurological & orthopedic exam, X-rays. Specific manipulation eliciting transformational musculoskeletal & body system change.
The single best chiropractor I’ve been to in FL.
Dr.Shippy is also a Doctor of Chiropractic Neurology certified. He gives you eye exercises that ophthalmic neurologists ( not found in TLH), does neck & low back traction, manipulation , laser. He responsibly refers to M.D.s as necessary. If you want to influence your mind & body seek Sensoria Chiropractic aka Dr. Alex Shippy.
I had some neck and back pain and tension. After 1 month of consistent alignments, I am back to normal with no pain or discomfort at all. Will be back in the future for more realignments. Great staff, so kind and accommodating.
I cannot thank Dr. Shippy of Sensoria Chiropractic enough for the exceptional, kind, compassionate and professional care he has given to my seventeen year old Yorkie Cuthbert. Cuthbert was having difficulty walking because his back was arched causing his hind legs to be compromised. After just two visits and expert treatment from Dr. Shippy he is moving freely again and walking like a five year old. Thank you so much for giving my Cuthbert his health and movement back Dr. Shippy. I highly recommend Dr. Shippy for any problems your pet may have. He is the best!
Dr Shippy was fantastic with Gidget! And so professional… I think it totally helped her feel better. Being a 12 year old Lab isn’t easy and Dr Shippy identified issues we didn’t think of, it was a very productive visit.
Dr. Shippy is the absolute best! He’s been Milo’s (my Frenchie’s) chiropractor for the past two years, and Milo ABSOLUTELY loves him! He is so patient and gentle with Milo, especially because he can be a little wild. Dr. Shippy always works around his craziness to make sure he gets his back adjusted, and of course, there’s playtime afterwards! 🐾❤️
I started seeing Dr. Shippy myself back in February, and going every other week has made such a difference. I honestly wish I had started sooner! He’s incredibly knowledgeable, caring, and takes the time to really listen. I highly recommend Dr. Shippy, he’s amazing with both people and pets! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had found no relief with my POTS symptoms, despite trying multiple doctors and various approaches for several years. After just 4-5 treatments from Dr. Shippy, I already felt such an improvement in my POTS symptoms. I am able to do more things now than I was before this treatment!
I took my daughter to Dr. Shippy for severe neck pain. He was very professional and did a thorough exam including xrays. He was very proficient with spinal adjustments. He also didn't hard sell a cookie cutter care plan as many chiropractors do. I have worked with quite a few local chiropractors since the late 90s, and I'm an advanced practice health care provider myself. I highly recommend Sensoria Chiropractic.
