Decompression Therapy Can Eliminate Chronic Neck Pain

Suffering from neck pain that won’t seem to go away no matter what you do? We understand the exact kind of pain that you are experiencing. It’s the type of pain that drastically effects your life. No matter how you move your neck it seems to always hurt. You use your cervical spine and neck muscles more than you think. Chronic neck pain can make the simplest tasks absolutely agonizing. It can make enjoyable things like driving to Destiny USA to go shopping with friends or attending a Syracuse basketball game seem like torture. It disrupts every aspect of your life from performing at your job to trying to get a good night’s sleep. The reason is because located within the neck—or cervical spine— is a coordinated network of nerves, bones, joints, and muscles directed by the brain and the spinal cord. When there is substantial pressure applied to a nerve by any of these surrounding tissues, the pressure disrupts the nerve’s function, causing pain, tingling, or numbness to occur. The more inflamed this area gets the more pain you experience.

What Causes Chronic Neck Pain?

In some instances, neck pain will go away within a few days or weeks. But neck pain that persists for months is defined as a chronic neck pain condition and could signal an underlying issue that needs to be addressed right away. There are a number of common problems that can cause chronic neck pain. If left untreated, this pain can eventually trigger bigger problems by irritating the nerve pathways leading to pain in the shoulder, head, arm, and even in your hands and legs. So, you might be wondering if there is any way to eliminate chronic neck pain? Some doctors will tell you to use painkillers for the inflammation or to mask the pain. Others believe that neck surgery is your only option. You know that living with the pain is not an option, but the thought of surgery or drugs isn’t either. Don’t worry, there is a better way than risks associated with continued use of prescription drugs or neck surgery.
