California
Neck Pain Sufferers Should Look To Chiropractic
|
|
If
you are a resident of Southern California neck pain can be
treated through chiropractic.
|
|
|
Your neck (cervical spine) is aligned
in a natural curve at the top of your spine.
Damage to your neck's natural curve can cause severe
neck pain. Your neck protects your spinal cord and
spinal nerves, while supporting and balancing the weight
of your head. Poor posture, wear and tear, injury,
stress, and tension can strain and damage vital parts of
your neck, resulting in neck pain.
An Unhealthy Neck Can Cause Neck Pain
 | Vertebrae are bones that protect your
spinal cord. They can wear down or be forced out of
position (misaligned). |
|
|
|
Muscles are supportive tissues
that can stretch, tear, or tighten. |
|
Ligaments are connective tissues
that can be torn. |
|
Nerves, which carry the body's
messages, can be stretched, pinched, or irritated. |
|
Discs are shock absorbers that
can bulge, rupture, or wear down.. |
Current Treatment for
California Neck Pain Sufferers
Current treatment of chronic neck pain runs
the proverbial gamut, from anti-inflammatory and pain-relief

overall health----focusing not only on your neck pain, but
also on your lifestyle. This integrated approach helps

|
History Of Neck Pain
To help identify the cause of your neck pain, you and
your chiropractor will discuss your symptoms and previous
injuries, your family health history, and your lifestyle,
including recreational and work-related physical
activities. |
|
Physical Exam To Determine The Cause
Of Your Neck Pain
Physical, orthopedic, and neurological tests can help
reveal the condition of your neck and the rest of your
spine. Static and motion palpation tests check for
stiffness, pain, muscle spasm, and restricted range of
motion. |
|
X-Rays To Detect The Cause Of Your Neck Pain
As "blueprints" of your spine, x-rays can
reveal misaligned vertebrae, arthritis, fractures, or
other problems. Additional tests will be done, if
necessary. |
|
Diagnosis of Your Neck Pain
Based on the examination and findings, your doctor of
chiropractic will render a diagnosis and may
recommend an individualized treatment program to realign
your neck and reduce your neck pain. If needed, your
chiropractor will also consult with other medical
specialists about your condition. |
