Dr. Anne Heisserer outlines options to address neck, back pain

Neck and back pain can make day-to-day activities difficult, but many of those activities can actually cause pain.

“In chiropractic care, I see a lot of patients for neck and back pain directly related to how they’re spending most of their days — for those who sit at a desk or drive in a car for long periods of time, neck and back pain are almost always going to occur at some point,” said Dr. Anne Heisserer, chiropractor and practice owner of Heisserer Chiropractic. “It’s important to integrate healthy practices into your work day to avoid this pain, and seek preventative or correctional care when necessary.”

Some “healthy practices” include sitting up straight, elevating computer monitors to eye level, standing to stretch every 30 minutes and keeping both feet on the floor.

Heisserer Chiropractic offers a variety of services to relieve neck and back pain, including: chiropractic adjustments to improve spinal motion and improve the body’s physical function; electric stimulation to block the transmission of pain signals being sent towards the brain and spine; and muscle work to relax muscles and reduce inflammation.
