About Nashua Chiropractic and Nashua Neck Sprain/Strain
muscle tearing and usually associated with vehicle accidents, falls, lifting, etc. Sprain/strain injuries may be in the neck.
Sprain / strain usually * involves just muscle and ligament damage and no damage to facets or discs. No nerve damage is noted. The pain may be present for weeks after an athletic or accident injury and is not something that has hurt recurrently before. These injuries take up to 4 to 16 weeks to heal. Treatment involves maintaining normal ranges of motion for the facets while restricting motion in the beginning. Rehabilitation will be important.
It is possible that the intervertebral disc itself may be sprained or torn in these muscular type of injuries. Since the disc is very pain sensitive, it also contributes to your pain. A resultant sprain/strain requires up to 3 months to totally heal, like a normal disc herniation, also.
Moriarty Chiropractic provides a thorough examination routine to be sure the diagnosis is specific to set a treatment plan for the quickest and best recovery.
In office, Moriarty Chiropractic uses Cox Technic Flexion Distraction and Decompression to widen the canal space, drop the intradiscal pressure and increase the disc height to relieve pain.
You will welcome the Cox Technic manipulation that gently "pulls you apart," as many patients describe the treatment or say they need. Depending on the severity of your pain and symptoms, gentler Protocol I may be applied until 50% relief of pain or more restoring Protocol II may be applied to guide your recovery.
In office adjunctive care may hasten your recovery.
Moriarty Chiropractic may recommend some at-home care instructions to return you to your pain-free quality of life as quickly as possible.
