Benefits of Physical Therapy and Chiropractic Care for Treating Cervicalgia
At ASR Sports Medicine in Miami, we specialize in providing effective treatment for cervicalgia, a condition characterized by neck pain and discomfort. By combining physical therapy and chiropractic care, we aim to address the root causes of cervicalgia, offering a comprehensive and non-invasive approach to recovery.
What Is Cervicalgia?
Cervicalgia refers to pain originating in the cervical spine, which includes the neck and upper shoulder region. It is a common condition that can result from a variety of factors, including poor posture, muscle strain, or underlying spinal issues.
Common Causes of Cervicalgia:
Poor posture, such as prolonged use of computers or smartphones.
Muscle strain from sudden or repetitive movements.
Whiplash or other neck injuries.
Degenerative conditions like arthritis or herniated discs.
Stress-related muscle tension.
Symptoms of Cervicalgia:
Persistent or sharp pain in the neck region.
Stiffness and reduced range of motion in the neck.
Pain radiating to the shoulders, upper back, or arms.
Headaches originating at the base of the skull.
Tenderness or swelling in the affected area.
Without proper treatment, cervicalgia can interfere with daily activities and lead to chronic pain.
