Chronic Neck Pain Treatment from Top Chiropractor in Fresno, CA

Your neck plays a crucial role in connecting your head and brain to the rest of your body. It also holds vital nerves, joints, muscles, and bones that provide the support for good nervous system function and communication throughout your body. This connection is one of a kind to you and it needs to be taken care of to help your body stay well connected and healthy. A natural treatment for chronic neck pain is Chiropractic care.

How Serious is Your Neck Pain?

Neck pain is not something to take lightly so if you are starting to feel that your pain is serious come and see our chiropractic office. It’s part of life that we will have aches and pains in a normal active or sedentary lifestyle. It doesn’t matter what your daily routine is because you will eventually experience some neck strain if it is out of proper alignment. If you have neck pain or migraine headaches that continue to get worse; seeing a chiropractor can help you. Headaches are a common pain but they are a not a normal if you have them constantly. Two of the main reasons we experience headaches is if we have stopped drinking caffeine or are not drinking enough water and have become dehydrated. So unless you are experiencing these symptoms you should not be having headaches. If your headache pain is in the back or side of your head it is probably a misalignment from your neck. There are ways to prevent neck pain and headaches and the following steps include proper alignment, posture, diet, drinking enough water. If you continue to have painful symptoms then your body is communicating to you that something is not right.

 

Most of the time neck pain will resolve itself within a few days or a few weeks. If you are experiencing pain for longer than a few weeks or even months, do not wait and suffer in pain any longer.

Upper Back Pain, Shoulder Pain, Neck Pain, and Headaches Success Story 1

Upper Back Pain, Shoulder Pain, Neck Pain, and Headaches Success Story

I’ve had upper back pain, shoulder pain, and neck pain for the last two years. I’ve also suffered from frequent headaches due to this condition. I’ve gone to physical therapists and even had shoulder surgery hoping for improvement, but without much success. Finally, my doctor recommended seeing a chiropractor and that is when I began seeing Dr. Sharon Lark.

At first I was very apprehensive about this method of treatment, but I knew nothing else had worked, and Dr. Lark seemed to be very confident that she could help me. My first adjustment was very scary and somewhat painful, but within a week or two I was able to move my neck with less pain and I started to feel much more flexible. The adjustments started to feel more natural, like a good stretch, and the headaches became much less frequent.

Besides the regular adjustments, the daily exercises and the spinal molding have helped to keep my flexible and start to build up strength in these areas. Dr. Lark’s advice about using ice for headaches and sore muscles really helped a lot. She also suggested I replace my pillow with a Swedish neck pillow. After the first couple of days I really started to notice a difference in my neck when I woke up in the morning. It was no longer sore, as if I had slept in an unnatural position. After just a month and a half, I am feeling so much better. My back is much more flexible and my neck is now moving very easily and without pain. I have very few headaches and my shoulder muscles are no longer in painful knots. I have begun to lift weights to strengthen my muscles, something I haven’t been able to do in years. I am feeling much better and looking forward to a more healthy lifestyle.

Upper Back Pain and Migraines Success Story

Upper Back Pain and Migraines

I have been seeing Lark Chiropractic for some time. I would get migraine headaches five days a week. So I wanted to do something about it.

One day while I was seeing my massage therapist, she recommended the wonderful chiropractors who really help people. She told me about Dr. Lark at Lark Chiropractic.

So I went to Dr. Lark and they took some x-rays and found out that my neck and my back were not working together like they should, They put me on a program. I started doing my exercises and icing my back. So far I don’t get migraines any more. I do feel a difference in my pain. But I still have a lot of work to do before I get better.

These doctors are very good doctors. One thing I can say remember it took my time to get like this then it will take time to heal. So be patient with the time.

Treating Chronic Back, Hip, Leg Pain, and Depression Success Story

Chronic Back, Hip, and Leg Pain and Depressed from Sleep Deprivation.

I would like to add my name and my story to those other grateful patients who have been helped by the advice and hands of Dr. Sharon Lark. I don’t want to exaggerate the ways Dr. Sharon has helped me so I will not try to explain every detail of all my symptoms. I will attempt to express the major ones.

For 3 years I lived with chronic back, hip, and leg pain. I was getting only 2-3 hours of continuous sleep per night. Because of this situation, I was very depressed and suffered from sleep deprivation. After lying, sitting, or standing for any length of time, I would have numbing in my left leg so severe I wanted to cry and many times I did. I also had headaches and took aspirin every day. I thought my headaches were due to lack of sleep or because of my constant pain. I had all the medical tests and even endured shots into my spine. After all that, the only advice I received from the medical doctors was to take pain medication, very strong painkillers. I refused.

I then tried massage and acupuncture. That made me feel wonderful but offered no long-term pain reduction results.

A wonderful person suggested that I make an appointment with Lark Chiropractic and thank God I was listening.

Right from the beginning I felt better and within weeks my headaches were gone. I am now able to sleep longer and on my left side, which I have not been able to do for years. I have joined a gym and am able to complete the simple exercises. I still have discomfort and even some pain in my left hip and leg but I now know what to do to recover. I have purchased a cushion for my chair at work and do my wiggle exercises several times during the day. I also have one at home and would recommend them to everyone.

I am a person who needs things simple, fast, and reasonable. This, I feel is the approach of Dr. Sharon Lark. She has never told me to stop doing activities I love such as gardening. I have modified that activity and do my warm-ups before any exercises. Thank you Dr. Sharon Lark for your concerns for me and for all the help you have provided. I feel I am getting my life back.

Auto Accident Relief Success Story

Auto Accident

I can recall the first day I came into this offer with my mother. My intentions were to get better but I didn’t think it would happen. As I looked at my posture printout and x-rays, I could not believe there was so much that was wrong. Although I didn’t understand the purpose of what was being done it didn’t keep me from asking.

My lower back was my main problem. I remember going to school not even being able to sit in my seat without being uncomfortable. In most cases, I would have to get up and stretch or walk around. With the pain I didn’t even want to walk around school and if I did I would have to sit down because of the pain. Being involved with softball was hard because I felt things in my back pop and I would just be really sore. It was just hard for me to do anything because it was uncomfortable to be on my feet or sitting down at lot.

Since the first day I walked into this office, until today I have noticed my progress. I have to think without the help of Dr. Sharon Lark how worse off I would be. All

it took on my part was doing the home workouts and coming in for adjustments.

Insomnia Induced by Chronic Pain Success Story

 

Loss of Sleep Due to Pain

“Life is the first gift, Love is the second, and Understanding the third.” –Marge Piercy

In my case the understanding part has come late in life. I am a 44 year old mother of 2 small children and only recently have I come to understand that health is ‘central’ to life and love… Without it you are left short. Busy with career and children, I neglected my health for years. Along with a chronic intestinal problem I suffered from neck and backaches and lack of sleep because of constant  repositioning.

I began visiting Lark Chiropractic and started and exercise program at the gym to strengthen my back and neck muscles. Exam and x-rays confirmed my poor posture and arthritic. My neck and head were bent forward and shoulders were rolled forward and down.

After treatment regime that included head weights, spinal molding, adjustments, and exercise. I began to see improvement. At 2 months, I am pain free. My posture and mobility are improved and I am sleeping through the night. The work at home is as important as the office visits. I understand that “correcting” spinal problems is a process that will take time. There are no “quick fixes” treatments for these conditions.

I appreciate the patients and grace that this office has shown in the disruption from toddlers. This is the only way I could get the help I needed. Thanks Dr. Sharon!

Migraine Success Story

Migraines

I started receiving care from Lark Chiropractic due to sever migraines. After one and a half months of care I no longer have migraines and my headaches are tolerable enough that I am no longer on any kind of medication for pain. Also I no longer am in need of sleeping pills at night to be able to relax enough to sleep. I am looking forward to my future treatment and correcting my spine and neck to be fully well again. It is a wonderful feeling to be drug free and pain free after 5 years!

Good luck to all else who wish to be drug free and pain free. Do the problem, it works!

Hip and Leg Pain Success Story

 

Hip and Leg Pain

Over the course of a couple months, I had pain gradually increase in my hip and leg that eventually made it difficult not only to walk, but to sit down. I went to an orthopedic surgeon, and had an MRI performed and received the medical equivalent of a shrug. There was really nothing he  could do short of surgery, and he wasn’t even sure if that would help.

After seeing Dr. Sharon Lark, the pain began to subside right away, and I felt remarkably better after two weeks of treatment. In less than eight weeks, I was back to playing tennis two or three times a week. What more is there to say? The care I receive at Lark Chiropractic works. Period.

Low Energy Success Story

No Energy

Imagine waking up every morning tired and in pain. That’s exactly what I used to do. The back of my neck would be stiff and hurting. My lower back would be hurting and I would be tired after tossing and turning all night trying to find a comfortable position to sleep in. Not exactly the ideal way to start a new day.

After just one visit to Lark Chiropractic, I felt like a new person. Dr. Lark did a complete examination, and x-rays showed exactly what and where my problem was. We began treatment right away to alleviate the immediate pain, and are now working on correcting the condition that  caused the pain in the first place.

I am happy to say that the stuff and painful neck is no longer a part of my life. I am able to get a good night’s sleep and wake up feeling rested and refreshed. But the best part is that as we continue treatment, I have less and less pain, and it’s so much easier to get through easy day.
