NECK & BACK Pain

As Doctors of Chiropractic, we focus on understanding the relationship between the spine and overall bodily function. Neck and back pain are common concerns, and we approach these issues by carefully assessing how the body moves and identifying the root causes of discomfort. Our focus extends beyond the spine, encompassing the entire musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia, to promote optimal health and function.

Cool, tell me more!

OK!

The human spine typically begins with 33 vertebrae, allowing for significant growth during childhood. As we mature, some of the lower vertebrae fuse, resulting in the adult spine with 24 vertebrae, the sacrum, and the coccyx (tailbone).

Throughout life, various factors can contribute to restricted spinal joint motion. These include developmental demands, poor posture, injuries (sports-related, car accidents, etc.), arthritis, and even the effects of a sedentary lifestyle. These restrictions, often referred to as spinal subluxations, can compromise joint mobility, leading to compensatory movement patterns, muscle tension, and potential interference with the nervous system.

How is this treated and why is this beneficial?

Great Questions!

After an evaluation ensuring that chiropractic is safe for you, the doctor may work on various muscles to reduce tension and adjust the joints to restore motion in the region(s) causing pain or dysfunction. By addressing pain, improving mobility, and enhancing overall well-being, chiropractic care can significantly improve your quality of life, allowing you to enjoy greater freedom of movement and participate more fully in the activities you love.
