Chiropractic Neck Stretches

Our necks perform many important functions for our body. However, they can also be a common source of pain. Since our necks support our heads, they are vulnerable to injuries and pain. Luckily, there are ways to help relieve this pain. Simple stretches and strengthening exercises can decrease and prevent neck pain. At Taber Chiropractic & Laser Spine Therapy Center in Bowie, MD, our team can help you using chiropractic techniques.

Neck Pain Stretches

Our chiropractor is dedicated to helping you maintain a healthy, pain-free lifestyle using all-natural techniques. There are several neck stretches you can try at home in addition to visiting our chiropractor regularly. Before we begin, please note that if any of these stretches cause any pain, please stop immediately and contact our team at Taber Chiropractic & Laser Spine Therapy Center.

Front-to-Back

This stretch can be done while standing or sitting. With your back vertical and your head facing forward, simply tilt your head downward and hold for ten seconds. After this, bring your head back up to face forward, then lean your head back to face up for 10 seconds. Repeat several times.

Side Tilt

This is best done while standing. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and your head facing forward. Tilt your head to one side until you feel a stretch. Your shoulder should not move up. Hold this for 5 to 10 seconds, then return to an upright position. Alternate tilting left and right. Repeat several times.

Rotation

This can be done while standing or sitting. Keeping your shoulders facing forward, turn your head to face left or right until you feel a stretch. Hold it for 10 seconds, then face forward again. Alternate looking left and right. Repeat several times.

Shoulder Roll

This can be done while standing or sitting. Facing forward, simply raise your shoulders. Now, roll them forward and continue the circular motion 5 to 10 times. Similarly, roll them backwards 5 to 10 times.
