Back & Neck Pain Center of Naples

If you’ve read any of my other blogs then you’d know that I’m no stranger to back or neck pain.

It’s something that I’ve dealt with on and off my entire life.

As a kid there was a point when my dad put my shirt on and I suddenly couldn’t move my head because I pulled a muscle in my neck.

When I was 15 I got really into motocross racing…well it got to a point where I could barely swing a leg over my bike because I had such low back pain.

I’m sure you can relate to this sort of thing but a 15 year old dealing with this is a little different than an adult.

This is what sent me down the road to become a chiropractor.

I went to a chiropractor and my low back pain got so much better, my digestion got better, and the headaches I was having weekly also went away.

I was so amazed that I was essentially healed of these issues without the help of medications, physical therapy, or anything really medical at all. I knew I needed to become a chiropractor to help other people like myself. It wasn’t the low back pain going away that really inspired me but rather the headaches and digestive issues clearing up. These were things that I didn’t realize chiropractic could even help with.

You might be looking for a back and neck pain center in Naples. Well we might be the perfect fit for you!

We’ve helped countless people decrease their back and neck pain.

A lot of people who come in with back and neck pain are usually seeking care for a different reason than their pain all together. Sure their primary goal is to get rid of their back and neck pain but actually they want to get rid of their back and neck pain so they can get back to enjoying life. Sometimes that means getting back out on the golf course or pickleball courts, being able to play with their kids or grandkids, or just enjoying life in general.

At Home Tricks

When it comes to back and neck pain there are a handful of things you’re able to do at home. The first thing you can do which I’m sure you already know about is stretches and exercises. Now some people think the only way to learn these is to go to a physical therapist appointment. I’m here to tell you that is wrong! Your best bet when it comes to learning at home exercises is to do a quick google or youtube search. Dr. Jo on youtube has a ton of great videos…simply search “back pain stretches Dr. Jo” and you’ll find her videos. I also wrote this article that goes over a variety of neck stretches and exercises that are super easy to do at home.

Another thing you can do is invest in something like a redlight therapy heating pad. You’ll be able to place this anywhere on your body and the benefit of redlight therapy as well. We have one at home and the thing works wonders. Not just for us if we have a sore back or neck but we also use it on our dog if we see that she seems a little bit sore as she has some arthritis in her hips.

Another simple thing you can do is check out your mattress and pillow. Are both of them over 5-10 years old? Well it might be time for a replacement of both of those. After all we spend 6-8 hours a day laying on them, they better be supportive of our neck and back otherwise we will for sure have back and neck pain.

The key is when it comes to at home remedies it’s important that you are consistent with them

If you’re searching for things like a back and neck pain center you have probably already tried the at home tricks and remedies out there. You might be looking for a health practitioner that is going to hold you accountable and provide you care that will go hand in hand with the things at home you’re doing that support the relief of your back and neck pain.

The Specific Naples

At The Specific Chiropractic Center Naples something that we help people with every single day is back and neck pain. We do this by working with the spine and more importantly the nervous system. The nervous system is what controls everything that’s going on in the body. From pain, to function of our organs, our muscles working correctly, and everything in between. If we have a nervous system issue going on, back and neck pain is something that can for sure take place!

The first thing we do at the office is take a specific set of x-rays along with functional nervous system testing. This gives us an idea of what’s going on and how we need to adjust you at your visits.

What’s great about working with the nervous system is we aren’t stuck with only getting one set of results. Sure we get great results for back and neck pain but a lot of times people who deal with that are also dealing with a handful of other symptoms. We hear people all the time tell us that their headaches are getting better, they are sleeping better than ever, their anxiety is lessening, jaw pain is decreasing, and so much more.

All because we are getting the nervous system working at 100%

If you’re someone who struggles with back and neck pain, The Specific Chiropractic Center Naples might be the place for you! Our approach to care is different from any other office in the area so if you’ve tried everything else and haven’t found relief we are here to help. Focusing on your nervous system is so much more than back and neck pain, I can’t wait to see how amazed you’ll be when you experience it!
