So, what do most people do when they have severe, knife like, stabbing neck pain? They take over the counter medications to hide and cover up the problem with Tylenol, aspirin, creams or simply treat these symptoms with muscle relaxers, massage, and hot packs.
One thing you should know about neck pain is that it isn’t caused by a lack of aspirin or medications!
What doctors of chiropractic do to correct the cause of neck pain is to locate the underlying mechanical cause. In order to correct the cause a well versed doctor of chiropractic begins with a complete history and in depth thorough examination.
Special attention is applied to the spinal structure and function of each vertebral segment in the
spine, as its impacts the central nervous system.
What we look for is the proper spinal alignment and curvature of the neck, or cervical spine. We also look to make sure that the nerve openings between each spinal segments are free and clear of any nerve interference.
We look to ensure that the head is balanced. If the shoulders are level. These as well as other considerations are equally important to chiropractors to create a plan of action and specific chiropractic adjustments to help restore normal spinal motion and proper spinal alignment of each vertebral segment.
With improved structure and function, the patients neck pain should improve drastically and totally disappear—without the use of pain medication that could become addictive or harmful with side effects.
One particular study, published by the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics discovered that patients who obtained regular chiropractic care reported a substantial overall improvement of their neck pain to those taking pain-killers.
