Neck pain is one of the most common types of musculoskeletal problems, affecting almost 50% of the population annually. Mild neck pain can be a minor annoyance, but if neck pain becomes chronic and is left untreated, it may progress to debilitating pain, headaches, arm pain, and eventually numbness, tingling and weakness. Research shows that the chiropractic management of neck pain is one of the most effective treatments, and can provide a safe, non-invasive alternative to prescription medications or over-the-counter pain medications.
Chiropractic neck adjustments along with other therapies help to correct joint restrictions or misalignments in the spine, which can reduce inflammation and improve the function of the affected joint and associated nerve. This improvement in the body mechanics of your neck will help to relieve your neck pain, while also improving the overall mobility and function of your neck and upper back.
