How we find the cause
Your first visit starts with a consultation, then a history and examination. The doctor performs specialized tests to see which tissues are affected and to what extent. If your condition calls for it, we take x-rays in the office to rule out more serious problems and plan your care. Dr. Chatfield’s continuing education includes Upper Cervical Treatment Techniques and Radiology.
How neck pain is treated
The chiropractic adjustment is the cornerstone of care: quick but gentle pressure, applied in a corrective direction. Your plan may add soft tissue and massage therapy, therapeutic stretches to keep tissues flexible, exercises to strengthen the neck, cervical decompression, or acupuncture. Before you leave, you get instructions for home, such as ice or heat, positions to avoid, and stretches.

What customers say about our Neck pain
“Best Chiropractor and staff! Dr. Chatfield has helped heal my body on numerous occasions. Pinch nerve in neck, scoliosis, tailbone out of place from sitting on my feet, SI joint injury, and back pain. I have ventured to other chiropractors closer to where I live with no luck. I always ended up going back to Dr. Chatfield. He is well worth the drive to get my body back in alignment and pain free. Blessed to have found a gifted, kind, caring Chiropractor.”

FAQ
Neck pain treatment in Bedford, TX questions
Still have questions? Call us any day and ask.
What causes neck pain?
MedlinePlus lists muscle strain or tension, often from overuse like sitting at a computer for too long, as a common cause. Sleeping in an awkward position, overdoing exercise, falls and car accidents are others. Whiplash, a soft tissue injury to the neck, is also called neck sprain or strain.
Do neck adjustments hurt?
They should not. An adjustment applies quick but gentle pressure in a corrective direction, and most patients feel relief afterward. Tell the doctor about any pain or symptoms that worry you.
When is neck pain an emergency?
Call 911 or go to an emergency room for neck pain with a head injury, loss of consciousness, weakness or numbness, slurred speech, or a headache that keeps getting worse. Chiropractic care is not emergency care.
