Neck pain is a common health complaint.
A popular response to neck pain is taking drugs
to cover up the problem (aspirin, analgesics, pain pills) or treating its symptoms
(muscle relaxers, massage, hot packs).
But neck pain isn't caused by a lack of aspirin or drugs!
The chiropractic approach to neck pain is to locate its underlying cause. This
begins with a complete case history and thorough examination. Special attention
is given to the structure and function of the spine, and its affect on the
nervous system.
Is the proper spinal curve present? Are the nerve openings between each pair
of spinal bones free and clear? Is the head balanced? Are the shoulders level?
These and other considerations are used to create a plan of specific chiropractic
adjustments to help improve the motion and position of spinal vertebrae.
With improved structure and function, neck pain often diminishes or totally
disappears—without addictive drugs or harmful side effects!
Your chiropractic doctor is an expert of using specific chiropractic adjustments
to help restore spinal function.
