A Pain in the Neck

Is it hard for you to look over your shoulder? Do you have a constant pulling or throbbing pain in your neck? Do you notice a grinding sound as you turn your head? Contact the doctor for a thorough examination.


A popular response to neck pain in taking drugs to cover up the problem (aspirin, analgesics, pain pills) or treating its symptoms (muscle relaxers, hot packs). But neck pain ISN'T caused by lack of aspirin or drugs! The Chiropractic approach to neck pain is to locate the underlying cause. this begins with your 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.


Many patients with neck pain have lost the normal forward curve in the neck. This can affect the brain stem and spinal cord.


Remember, your neck has to balance and support the equivalent of a 10 - 13 lb bowling ball.
