Preventing Neck Pain


Neck pain happens, but that doesn’t mean you have to live with it forever. With some lifestyle adjustments, you can prevent neck pain altogether. Dr. Alajajian and staff take pride in educating our patients about good spinal health. Since many of our patients experience neck pain, it's important to take a step back and see what is causing it. Only then can you take the necessary steps to prevent it!




Tips to prevent neck pain:




- Sleep on your back


- Drink plenty of water


- Make sure you are using a comfortable and supported pillow


- Make sure your computer monitor is at eye level


- When using your mobile phone for texting, keep it at eye level, take breaks, or use talk-text


- When using your mobile phone for making calls, use a headset or earpiece


- Stretch, exercise, and strengthen your neck muscles


- Carry weight on your person so that it is evenly distributed


- Practice a supportive posture (no slumping or hunching!)


- Hold your phone at a distance rather than right in front of you




It’s important to seek professional help if you ever experience numbness, tingling, and pain in your arms, or headaches and weakness. Uneffective pain medication is another indicator that you should see a chiropractor. Dr. Alajajian and staff offer an array of therapies to help our patients with neck pain.
