When you need neck pain relief in Pleasanton, CA, Dr. Godwin Sammut at Lifetime Wellness Holistic Health Center can provide the treatments and therapies required. No matter what the cause; whiplash, poor posture, or sports injury, chiropractic care allows you to regain your pain-free life.  

Chiropractic adjustments

Chiropractic adjustments or manipulations are the primary treatment in chiropractic care. The body functions as a whole and the messages need to get through from the brain unobstructed. When there is a misalignment in the spine, the body cannot function as well as it should. When a vertebra in the neck has become misaligned, it can cause stress to the muscles and nerves. This can result in pain. Adjustments can be made manually or can be instrument assisted. 

Therapeutic massage

Therapeutic massage works very well with a chiropractic adjustment. It can help to relax the muscles, or it can give the muscles the deep treatment that they require. When the muscles are relaxed, they are more receptive to other treatments your chiropractor may want to use.  

Myofascial release

The fascia is a web of tough bands that are located throughout the body where the muscles are. Myofascial release therapy is used to release the tightness and pain that can result from scar tissue. It is a focused type of massage that can help bring relief from chronic neck pain. 

Cold laser therapy

Cold laser therapy uses light waves to treat pain. A handheld device is held over the spot in need of treatment, and it helps to heal the tissues. It can be used to treat neck pain as well as pain all over the body. 

Therapeutic exercise

Your chiropractor will provide the instructions and treat you in the office with stretching and strengthening exercises. They are usually targeted at the precise area that is causing the pain. This allows you to continue your healing at home when you are away from the chiropractor's office. 

Custom foot orthotics

Custom foot orthotics are not just to treat foot problems. They can also help with posture issues. When your posture is incorrect, it can affect many different parts of your body, including your neck. Correcting your posture with orthotics is the first step in getting neck pain relief. 

Cryotherapy

Cold pack cryotherapy is something that most people know and use to treat strains and sprains. It is also helpful in treating other types of pain. The cold slows down circulation and inflammation.
