Acute neck pain is a common complaint that often occurs suddenly, often due to a muscle strain, incorrect movement or overload. This pain can range from a dull, aching pain to sharp, disabling sensations. The cause of acute neck pain is often related to muscle or joint problems, but it can also be caused by, for example, a herniated disc or wrong movement. Sudden shooting pain in the neck is also known as acute cervical facet syndrome or torticollis.
Chronic neck pain is pain that lasts longer than three months and often affects daily life. It can be a constant complaint or occur in episodes, with pain ranging from mild to severe. Chiropractic offers an effective approach to treating chronic neck pain by focusing on restoring spine function and relieving pain. Examples of chronic neck problems include whiplash and herniated disc.
Degenerative neck pain occurs when the structures in the cervical spine, such as the intervertebral discs, joints, and vertebrae, wear out due to aging, overload, or injury. This can lead to pain, stiffness and a reduction in mobility. It is often associated with disorders such as osteoarthritis (joint wear and tear) and spondylosis (degeneration of the vertebrae).
Neck problems are a common problem that can affect people of all ages. Whether you're suffering from a stiff neck, aching pain, or even whiplash, it's important to know that there are solutions that are effective, safe, and accessible. At Cornerstone Chiropractie, we specialise in treating neck problems and are happy to help you move again without pain and restrictions.
Neck problems can take various forms, depending on the cause and severity of the symptoms. Here are some common types:
In case of neck pain, it is important to keep moving. Light activities can help keep muscles supple and reduce tension. Use heat and cold compresses. Very often we think that heat alone would help, but try an ice pack too. Cold penetrates deep into the muscles, has a relaxing effect on the muscles (if used between 15-20 minutes), reduces pain and is anti-inflammatory. In addition, pay attention to your posture. An ergonomic workplace can prevent many complaints. Stretching exercises are also effective in reducing tension. If the pain persists or is severe, do not hesitate to contact us. Our chiropractors can address the cause of your symptoms and help you recover.

Preventing neck pain starts with a healthy lifestyle and good habits:
“I was very nervous during the first treatment, but Michael made me feel at ease. In addition to the treatments for my back and neck, I also received all kinds of advice about healthy food and nutritional supplements. Also advice on rest, exercise and good posture. I am very satisfied.”
“I play sports on a regular basis and unfortunately have injuries as a result. Since I have been receiving treatment at Cornerstone Chiropractie, I suffer much less from this and my recovery is also very successful. They are real professionals who think with you. Michael makes sure I can keep playing sports and gets results with his treatments that no other person has managed. In me he has a lifelong client! So I can truly recommend Cornerstone Chiropractie to everyone.”
“I recently contacted Cornerstone Chiropractie due to immense pain in my lower back. I could no longer walk normally and was in nothing but pain. After just one treatment I felt relief and the pain was largely relieved. I could be scheduled quickly and received good advice. I can recommend this to everyone!”
