How can I relieve my neck pain?

It is difficult to determine what may be causing your pain, so there is not a “go-to” approach for home care. However, if there was an injury, ice is recommended. In chronic situations, usually heat gives better relief. Simple stretches can provide some relief. We have a database of 1000’s of different stretches and exercises that we utilize, depending on the condition. The reality is, oftentimes it is just better to come in and let a doctor check you out.

Is it okay to pop my own neck?

Popping your own neck may seem to relieve the pain, temporarily. And it usually returns within an hour or so. The difference between “self-adjusting” and a specific chiropractic adjustment has everything to do with the specificity, which is learned from the exam and x-ray process. There is a vast difference between just making a joint go pop, and correcting a misalignment. While popping your own neck usually isn’t actually hurting you, it is a sign that there is an underlying problem that should be checked out by a chiropractor.
