Head & Neck Pain Treatment in Kansas City
Neck Pain can be caused by stress, muscular tension, lifestyle factors, poor posture, disc irritation, and irritated nerves.
Neck pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including muscular tension, poor posture, disc irritation, arthritis, or joint irritation. Oftentimes, inefficient stabilizing strategies are a contributing cause of neck pain, which can lead to the over-activation of muscles in the chest, shoulders, and neck. This can then lead to localized pain in the neck, shoulder, and in some cases, down the arm and hand.
Symptoms of Neck Pain
- Generalized dull achy pain in the neck
- Shooting pain traveling from the neck into the arm and hand
- Decreased neck range of motion
- Headaches
- Nausea or vomiting
- Weakness of the arm and hand
How it Works
Treatment for Neck Pain
Treatment of neck pain depends on the cause of injury. Treatments such as Active Release Technique, Graston, FAKTR, and Dry Needling can be incredibly beneficial for decreasing muscle tightness and improving mobility in these areas. The doctors at F.I.T. will also assess neck and shoulder stability to address any underlying dysfunction that may be contributing to your neck pain. Techniques like DNS and FAKTR can be incredibly beneficial for improving stability in these regions and restoring proper function to the joints to create lasting relief.
