Chiropractic Treatment for Neck Pain in Richmond, VA
Your chiropractor is an expert in using noninvasive techniques to treat neck pain. They may suggest a hands-on manipulation or instrument-assisted manipulation to adjust your neck and spine and realign their bones and tissues, relieving pressure on the nerves and muscles around them. Your chiropractor may suggest taking an x-ray or MRI prior to your treatment to assess your neck and rule out certain conditions or injuries which other types of treatment may better treat.
