Neck Pain Treatment in Reading, England

Addressing the Causes of Neck Pain at Goddard Chiropractic

That nagging pain in your neck isn’t just an inconvenience – it’s affecting your entire quality of life. Whether you’re waking up with stiffness, struggling to turn your head while driving, or dealing with tension headaches, neck pain can make every day feel like a challenge. Here at Goddard Chiropractic, we’ve helped thousands of Reading residents find relief from both acute and chronic neck pain through chiropractic care.

Advanced Chiropractic Care for Chronic & Acute Neck Pain

Your neck, also known as the cervical spine, is a remarkable but delicate structure. The first vertebra, called C1 or Atlas, is uniquely shaped like a ring to allow for maximum mobility of your head. This specialised vertebra has the crucial role of protecting your brainstem as it exits the skull and transitions into your spinal cord.

Just below it, the C2 vertebra (called the Axis) has a distinctive design that fits precisely with C1, working together like a well-engineered pivot system to enable the rotational movements of your head.

When these upper cervical vertebrae become misaligned, even slightly, it can create significant problems throughout your body. Because the brainstem and numerous vital nerve pathways pass through this area, any pressure or irritation can disrupt essential communication between your brain and body. This disruption can lead to not only neck pain and stiffness but also headaches, dizziness, and even impacts on your nervous system’s overall function.

That’s why precise diagnosis and gentle adjustment of these vertebrae is often key to resolving both neck pain and related symptoms. Our Reading chiropractors commonly treat neck pain resulting from:

What makes neck pain particularly challenging is its tendency to create a cascade of other problems. Many of our patients initially seek help for neck pain but are also experiencing:

Comprehensive Neck Pain Diagnosis & Relief at Goddard Chiropractic

Our approach to treating neck pain goes far beyond just temporary relief. We begin with a thorough examination to identify and correct the root cause of your discomfort. Using advanced diagnostic techniques that may include x-rays, we assess your cervical spine’s alignment, muscle tension patterns, and range of motion.

This comprehensive evaluation allows us to develop a personalised treatment plan that addresses both your immediate pain and its underlying causes. Your plan may include specific chiropractic adjustments, as well as recommendations for other therapies, and at-home care.

What sets our approach apart is our commitment to long-term solutions rather than quick fixes. While medications might temporarily mask neck pain, our care plans address the structural issues causing your discomfort. We understand that healing takes time, and your treatment plan will progress through several phases:

Phase 1: Relief Care

Focusing on reducing immediate pain and discomfort

Phase 2: Corrective Care

Addressing underlying structural issues

Phase 3: Maintenance Care

Preventing future problems and maintaining optimal neck health

Every patient’s journey to recovery is unique. Some experience significant relief after just a few treatments, while others with chronic conditions may need more extensive care. Factors that influence your healing timeline include:

For optimal results, we may recommend starting with multiple visits per week, gradually decreasing frequency as your condition improves. Many patients choose to continue with periodic maintenance visits to prevent future issues and maintain their improved neck health.

What Patients Are Saying

“I sought chiropractic treatment as I had pain and numbness in my arm. I had no idea this was being caused by neck and back problems. As I completed the chiropractic programme designed for me as an individual I started to feel much better and the pain and numbness went. I still complete the exercises I was shown at the outset on a daily basis and feel so much stronger and healthier as a result. My practitioner was professional and caring and always gave me the time I needed at my appointments.”
