If you have been experiencing neck pain for two weeks and painkillers are not providing relief, it may be time to consider seeking professional help. A chiropractor can be a good option for managing neck pain, especially if the pain is due to musculoskeletal issues, such as muscle strain or joint dysfunction.
Here are some signs that it may be time to see a chiropractor for your neck pain:
The pain is persistent and doesn't go away on its own after a few days.
You experience neck stiffness, limited range of motion, or difficulty moving your head.
The pain is accompanied by other symptoms, such as headaches, numbness, or tingling in the arms or hands.
You have a history of neck or spinal problems, such as herniated discs or arthritis.
The pain is affecting your daily activities or quality of life.
If any of these apply to you, it may be worth scheduling an appointment with a chiropractor. They can perform a thorough evaluation to determine the underlying cause of your neck pain and develop a personalized treatment plan to help alleviate your symptoms.
However, it's important to note that if your neck pain is severe, you have a fever, or you experience any other alarming symptoms, you should seek medical attention immediately. These could be signs of a more serious condition that requires immediate treatment.

See a chiropractor for neck pain asap. Adjustments help with inflammation.
Hi there, I'm sorry you've been suffering for so long. I think now is a great time to see me! You've tried what you can do and it's not helping, let an expert get you feeling better.
Now would be a good time. If medication is not helping, then the pain maybe more involved. Misalignment of cervical vertebra, muscle imbalance, or other unknowns that x-rays may reveal.
