ChiropractorNeckPainHere's how we might approach your situation:
Initial Assessment: We would start with a detailed history of your symptoms and a physical examination. This may include assessing your neck's range of motion, identifying any areas of tenderness, and evaluating your posture and spinal alignment. We might also discuss your work environment, daily habits, and any recent injuries or stresses that could contribute to your neck pain.
Diagnostic Imaging: Depending on the findings from the initial assessment, we may recommend diagnostic imaging, such as X-rays or an MRI, to get a clearer picture of the spine's structure and identify any underlying conditions like disc degeneration, arthritis, or spinal misalignment.
Treatment Plan: With a clear understanding of the cause of your neck pain, we can develop a personalized treatment plan. This plan may include:
Chiropractic Adjustments: Using controlled force to realign the spine and improve range of motion. These adjustments can reduce pressure on nerves, relieve muscle tension, and improve neck function.
Soft Tissue Therapy: Techniques like massage or myofascial release to alleviate muscle tension and improve blood flow to the affected areas.
Therapeutic Exercises: Specific exercises designed to strengthen the neck muscles, improve flexibility, and support spinal health.
Ergonomic and Lifestyle Advice: Recommendations to adjust your workstation, sleeping position, or daily activities to reduce strain on your neck and prevent future pain.
Follow-Up and Maintenance: Regular follow-up visits may be recommended to monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as necessary. We may also discuss strategies for maintaining a healthy spine and preventing neck pain in the future, including posture improvement, regular exercise, and stress management techniques.
It's important to address neck pain early to prevent chronic issues and improve your quality of life. If you're experiencing significant discomfort or the pain persists despite initial treatments, a more in-depth evaluation may be necessary to rule out other causes and refine your treatment plan. Always communicate openly with your healthcare provider about your symptoms and any changes in your condition to ensure the most effective care.

For starters: Try rolling a hot towel under your neck, lay on the floor for 5 min and slowly move your face to right / left on found of 5 with in your comfort zone.
the rolled towel restores your cervical curve to allow maximum range of motion of joints. The heat relaxed tight muscles to allow more stretchability. Laying on the floor ( not bed) allows your back to be at non-weight bearing and reduces impact on your scoliosis.
Try this and if helpful repeat several times per day and work on seeking help. { ask your Primary care for Standing X-rays first.}

If you are experiencing neck pain that limits your range of motion and interferes with your ability to perform daily activities, it's important to seek professional medical help. A chiropractor or medical doctor can perform a thorough evaluation and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan for your specific condition.
In the meantime, here are some tips that may help relieve your neck pain:
Apply heat or ice to the affected area for 20 minutes at a time, several times a day.
Try gentle stretching exercises to improve flexibility and range of motion.
Avoid activities that exacerbate your neck pain, such as prolonged sitting or using a computer.
Practice good posture and avoid slouching or hunching over.
It's important to note that if your neck pain is severe, accompanied by fever or other concerning symptoms, or if it doesn't improve with self-care measures, you should seek medical attention right away.

If you are having limited mobility and can't turn your head I would get assessed by a chiropractor, physical therapist and/or your PCP (primary care physician), so that they can figure out what is causing it and recommend treatment.
