How Tracy Chiropractic Helps with Neck and Back Pain​

Neck and back pain can be debilitating. Feeling pain when you bend over or when your neck bends forward can make it difficult to complete everyday tasks like picking up a room, playing with a child, doing yard work and others. Knowing the cause of back and neck pain and what you can do about it can help you take care of your body and improve your quality of life. At Ringer Chiropractic in Tracy, we help patients suffering from back and neck pain.

Causes of Neck and Back Pain

Neck pain can have a variety of causes, including frequent bending over a hand held device (called "text neck"), poor posture, automobile accidents and more. Back pain can also have many causes, including:

• Trouble with weight.
• Wearing bad shoes.
• Sleeping on a bad mattress.
• Injury from common, everyday tasks like gardening.
• Sports, automobile or occupational injury.

When you visit a chiropractor about your neck or back pain, one of the first things that your chiropractor will do will help you determine the cause of your discomfort. To do this, your chiropractor will perform a physical examination and talk to you about your habits and when you feel pain. At Ringer Chiropractic, we believe that talking one on one to our patients helps us to determine many of the aches and pains that plague them in day to day life.

Treatment & Prevention from Your Tracy Chiropractor

There are many chiropractic techniques that can be used to heal a patient's back and neck pain. At Ringer Chiropractic, we use the following methods:

• Massage therapy. Massage therapy is a technique we use to improve blood flow to the muscles of the body and speed the healing process for our patients.
• Spinal adjustment. Spinal adjustments realign the vertebrae of the spine and reduce pressure on the joints. Spinal adjustment also improve communication between the brain and the rest of the body, which helps the body heal.
• Lifestyle advice. We administer lifestyle advice to help patients recover from injuries and prevent injuries in the future.
• Nutrition advice. Nutrition advice helps our patients manage their weight, which reduces pressure on the joints of the body and helps our patients get the energy they need in order to exercise more.
• Stretches and exercises. Stretches and exercises help our patients to strengthen their muscles, improve flexibility and speed up the healing process. Stretches and exercises are also helpful for athletes, because this technique helps our patients warm up the muscles before engaging in physical activity.
