Neck Pain.

Consulting a Chiropractor for neck pain might seem obvious to a patient who has experienced Chiropractic care and who associates an adjustment with the release of tension, increased motion, and pain relief. For others, Chiropractic treatment of the neck brings to mind a different picture. What could be the benefit of 'popping' the bones in the neck? When family doctors are asked about neck manipulation, they often visualize an abrupt twisting of the neck and are apt to sound a note of alarm when a patient seeks Chiropractic care for a cervical injury.

Similar to medical doctors, Chiropractors use diagnostic indicators to differentiate types of neck problems.  These indicators are used to determine which type of chiropractic treatment is appropriate to the individuals needs.

Chiropractic offers a unique and valuable mechanical approach to a wide range of cervical problems. Chiropractors do not 'twist' the neck or perform painful manouveres. Manipulation or adjusting as performed by Chiropractors is a precise and gentle therapy with the aim of returning motion to restricted spinal joints and to improve the overall mechanics of the spine.

The Chiropractic adjustment has been shown to decreases inflammation and restores normal joint movement thereby decreasing pain and restoring function and movement.
