Are migraines and neck pain keeping you from spending time with friends and family members? Do they prevent you from doing your best at work? If you rely on traditional treatments for your neck pain and headaches, then you could be inviting a host of other problems.
The reasons for neck pain and headaches vary, and their conditions may become chronic. Those who seek out alternative treatments experience more successful results. Does this describe the outcome of previous treatments for your discomfort?
If you’re interested in learning more about neck pain and headaches then you’ll want to invest 20 minutes to listen to this edition of Back Talk where your host Kimberly Henrie interviews Dr. Steve Lininger about including what causes neck pain and headaches, and some common solutions that avoid unnecessary medications or potentially unsuccessful surgeries.
Many people turn to traditional treatments for pain, then suffer other issues like side effects from medication or recovery from surgery. New research from the Annals of Internal Medicine revealed that chiropractic care and similar home therapies relieved pain more effectively than either medication or surgery alone. This interview is an opportunity for you to learn how to achieve those same results.
Leading Causes of Neck Pain for Manassas Patients
The episode kicks off with a discussion about the most common causes of neck pain that Dr. Lininger sees in his clinic. This is something that takes place on a daily basis in Prince William County. He describes what happens to the neck during this type of injury, and why it results in such debilitating pain.
Next Dr. Lininger explains neck injury mechanisms. He shares the one profession that he sees more than any other with complaints of bulging discs in their neck, misalignment of the vertebrae in the neck, and another thing that affect the nerves in that part of the body.
If the symptoms that Dr. Lininger talks about so far describe how you’re feeling, then your pain could be robbing you of living life to the fullest.
Why Neck Injuries Don’t Always Result in Neck Pain
A neck injury doesn’t necessarily present itself with neck pain. Dr. Lininger shares a personal story from a patient complaining with a range of symptoms that on the surface don’t seem related to neck pain at all. During the podcast he addresses these questions:
- Can neck pain and headaches affect my vision and hearing?
- What happens during my first appointment to a chiropractor?
- Is there someone in the office who speaks and reads Spanish?
- Why do I need to share my full medical history for neck pain?
Now ask yourself these two questions. Does your current form of managing pain relieve all the discomfort? Are you confident that surgery can repair the cause of your neck pain or headaches? If you answered no to either, then it’s time to reevaluate how you’re managing pain.
How to Relieve Pain without Side Effects from Medication
Then Dr. Lininger explains treatment his chiropractic office offers for neck pain and headaches. He describes what procedures can be done right in the comfort of the office, and which ones are more likely to be referred to another medical facility.
Dr. Lininger goes on to share what his primary focus is for all of his patients, regardless of the complaints their share during the visit or the reason behind their pain. He explains what happens during the first exam, how he treats the information gathered during the appointment, and how he proceeds from that point forward.
Chiropractic care reassesses treatment for both obvious and non-obvious medical problems. Your chiropractor is trained to treat your pains without the unwanted side effects of medication or surgery. What’s stopping you from getting an evaluation?
The episode wraps up with Dr. Lininger sharing the education required to perform chiropractic care, and what he had to complete to become a chiropractor in Prince William County. The complexity and duration of the classes may take some listeners by surprise.
