Chiropractic Treatment for Neck Pain

A lot of people suffer from neck pain and arthritic activity at various times in their lives. But we want to let you know most often why its there in the first place. Now, most people don’t realize that whiplash like injuries are a lot more common than people think. Something as simple as stepping off a curb and not expecting it, somebody jumping at you and trying to scare you. Little bumps and bruises, accidentally banging your head on a table or a cupboard. Little things like this can have a long lasting effect. Even fender benders in parking lots actually have a huge impact.

In fact, the nature of the tissues in your neck are like an elastic. So if you were to get hit by something from behind, your head will go forward then backwards at two and a half times the speed of what hit you. Something at 20km/hr your head goes forward and backward at 50km/hr. Even though if its for a small amount, and that speed causes some tissue damage.

The tissue damage happens just like this :

When your neck whips forward really quickly it tears/damages tissue. Instead of the body putting flexible, elastic tissue back to replace the injured tissue it puts scar tissue.

And because those tissues are not as flexible or elastic as the original tissue, the neck starts to move differently. If the neck moves differently over 2 years, 3 years, or 5 years the vertebrae in the neck start to change shape. They start to become arthritic and they will grow lips and spurs. It will cause inflammation and pain.

We want to make sure that this doesn’t happen to you. We want to make sure that we can identify, and if its there we want to fix it.
