Seeing a chiropractor can help you relieve chronic neck pain. Chiropractors focus on making sure your spine is aligned correctly and that the many nerves in your neck are working as they should.
A misalignment (or subluxation) is when one or more of the bones in your neck becomes displaced, which can put pressure on the brachial plexus and cause pain. To get relief from this neck pain, it’s important to work with a Chiropractor in getting the misalignment 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 misaligned or 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 Simpsonville 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 TrapStretch
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 Simpsonville 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 Simpsonville
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 alignment 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.
Excellent consultation and inspection of symptons. Great explanation of what has caused pain and plan going forward to decrease pain. Respectful of time constraints and past history of attempted fixes. Looking forward to health and pain level improvements.
I’ve had such a great experience with Dr. Perkinson and the entire team. When I first started care, I was dealing with shooting nerve pain in my shoulder and arm every single day. Since beginning treatment that pain is now gone, and I have reached the point where I’m able to go less and less often because I’m doing so much better.
Dr. Perkinson is knowledgeable, caring, and truly takes the time to help his patients feel their best. I’m so grateful for the improvement I’ve experienced and would highly recommend Dr. Perkinson to anyone looking for a chiropractor!
Was having severe lower back problems, and barely able to get around. Within one month was fully back on my feet and doing the things I love to do. I feel amazing and it's all thanks to carolina life!
I have had many different experiences with chiropractors over the years, but never won so thorough and precise As with Dr. Perkinson. The way he takes time to fully understand You and your needs is rare.
I am very grateful that I found Dr. Perkinson! My low back problems have substantially improved since I became a patient of Carolina Life Chiropractic. Dr. Perkinson is very personable and is always inquiring about how I'm doing, listening to my responses, and adapting my treatment plan accordingly.
Dr. Perkinson is excellent at listening, finding, and fixing the subluxations that I have. I recommend friends to go see him even with a drive like I have from Anderson to Simpsonville/Greenville. I have had times where my neck or lower back needs correction and he works out what is there without overworking on my body during each chiropractic session. He makes sure that I know what he is doing and why he is doing certain manipulations. He encourages a healthy lifestyle to aid in the healing process and encourages me to exercise, eat healthy, and drink water after the adjustments. He is very knowledgeable about the spine and is willing to learn more on his own time about the issues I deal with on a daily basis. He encourages me to come to see him as often as I am able, realizing that I may not be able to make it to his practice as often as I need due to my physical limitations and demands. I appreciate him for being a great person and doctor of chiropractic who devotes his time and attention to me exclusively during my sessions.
I can certainly understand why Dr. Bernardo has five stars. It starts with a thorough assessment where he takes the time to discuss your personal concerns and goals. He then performs a comprehensive, hands-on evaluation to identify specific focus areas. Following that, he takes targeted x-rays to confirm his findings. Once the results are ready, he walks you through everything in detail. His diagnosis was spot on, and he provided the comprehensive treatment plan I needed. Having had assessments elsewhere, I found Dr. Bernardo’s approach to be the most effective, intensive, and probative. He rocks!
My back injury was stopping me from day to day normal. I'd been in PT and under Orthopedic care for months with little to no relief. I kept asking for a chiropractor because my body just felt malaligned! Finally I'm referred to Carolina Life. At 15 sessions Dr. Bernardo Perkinson has seriously changed my quality of life!<br><br>He took imagery, gave an assessment and plan. All of the painful places I explained to others in vain, he could TOUCH the inflammation with his hand. The adjustments and red light therapy have me feeling the best I have in years.<br><br>Chiropractors should be a part of routine body maintenance. I know I will definitely continue rotating even beyond my treatment plan. Dr. Perkinson's a consummate professional, kind and knowledgeable in his field. Glad I was referred and I tell everyone!!!
Since receiving treatments my lower back pain has improved from a 9 down to a 1 and my radiating leg pain has totally gone away! I recommend Dr Bernardo Perkinson’s care for anyone that wants to improve their mobility and decrease their chronic pain.
I have been to a handful of chiropractors in my 21 years as a patient of chiropractic. He is worth every penny including the up to 1.5 hour drive time. His Gonstead method is unique, different, and effective. I came to Dr. Perkins and he was actually able to fix my knee so I could walk better on it. He makes sure he understands your spine fully with x-rays. His plans are very fair. He gave me an ice pack after my first adjustment. After my adjustment my body started feeling improvments and continuing to be better. He focuses on the details of the spine which is very unique. He listens and takes time with his patients. He also works on the joints outside of the spine, in addition to my knees he has helped the TMJ in jaw and my hips. I have continued to see him as a patient. He is always friendly, welcoming, and professional! His office is warm, inviting, organized and clean. He takes time care, and attention when you are his patient. He has contined to help me in ways that are particular to my needs. His adjustments help me feel better and live better and do what I want to do in life day in and day out!! His unique methods and continuing desire to learn has helped me cognitively by reducing pain in my body. It has helped me with the tingling, sensory sensitivity, headaches, and tenderness to touch. Issues I had after my TBI and spine injury. He helped me<br>make more progress than conventional doctors did . He helps keep me working at my job with manual labor. he was anle in my case improve the curve to a significant degree for my indiviual case. He adjusted the top of my neck and helped the numbness I feel when sleeping at night in my arm. I look forward to all the care he will continue to<br>provide to keep me whole and functioning well into my future. He doesn’t just try to sell you to keep you in appointments for the money either. He makes a plan and appointment schedule based on your needs and the demands of what tolls life puts on your body.
Dr. Bernardo is absolutely amazing. He truly cares for the wellbeing of his patients. My mom went to him first and then I did. I’ve noticed a big change in my health just by coming in. I highly recommend his services.
