Chiropractic Can Relieve Neck Pain!
Every day your neck is subjected to physical and emotional stress that can result in PAIN. Chiropractors are specially trained to deal with pain related to spinal problems. If you suffer
from neck pain or stiffness, you should seek professional chiropractic care.

Chiropractic has been scientifically proven to relieve neck pain. A 1995 study in The Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that patients who received chiropractic care reported significant improvement in their neck pain and neck function (better strength and better range of motion) than patients taking aspirin or acetaminophen (Tylenol).

A Delicate Balance
Neck pain should not be ignored or taken lightly. Your neck performs a delicate balancing act every day. As funny as it may sound, just by holding up your head, your neck balances the equivalent of a 10-pound ball on the end of a stick. Equally important, it houses vital blood vessels and nerves, along with the thyroid glands, the larynx, the esophagus, the trachea, the brainstem, the spinal cord and the spinal column.

A delicate balance of muscles, ligaments, nerves and vertebrae, your neck (or cervical spine) consists of seven vertebrae separated by cushiony discs at the top of you spine. If any of these get out of alignment it can mean pain and dysfunction. If not taken care of properly, “vetebral misalignment” or subluxations, can lead to other problems in the future.

A Serious Problem
You can see why any neck injury must be taken seriously and closely evaluated. Neck pain may be a result of a “whiplash” injury from an automobile accident or fall, from sitting at your computer all day, from lifting heavy objects or even from picking up a child. Even minor injuries
can cause major problems when it comes to your neck.

Unfortunately, traditional methods of treating neck pain, such as rest and medication, don’t always get to the root of the problem. Resting
your neck can actually cause further injury, because your muscles begin to deteriorate when you don’t use them, and by taking harmful
drugs or “babying” your neck, you may actually be making the problem worse.

Pain Solutions through Chiropractic
Chiropractic takes an active approach toward ending neck pain. Rather than just giving you pain relievers to treat your symptoms, chiropractors can find and correct the cause of your pain. We specialize in removing subluxations through spinal adjustments, restoring function to vertebrae, muscles and ligaments, and erasing pain. Chiropractors also are specially trained to help slow down the effects of everyday wear and tear and degeneration. If you are suffering from neck pain, don’t wait another minute.
