Can Chiropractic Help Neck Pain?

Neck pain can have many causations. It is often the result of trauma or overuse. Many patients will present to my office with complaints of neck pain with associated radiating pain, numbness or tingling into the arms. This can be the result of something as benign as a bad golf swing. In many cases a patient will have already seen their medical doctor with only a script for a muscle relaxer and an anti-inflammatory. In many cases with no relief. These drugs can also cause annoying side effects such as grogginess and digestive disorders. This brings up the question “what can chiropractic do for my neck pain?”.

The most frequent cause of neck pain is when one or more of the seven cervical vertebrae shifts out of alignment. When these misalignments occur it will cause fixation in that joint and the area will feel stiff and in pain. The spinal column is a very intricate structure that relies on proper position. Any postural distortion can cause pain and disfunction because the associated nerves will get pinched. This can lead to radiating pain into the upper extremity as well as headaches. Spasm, inflammation and edema will also be a result and can be debilitating to the patient. This situation will persist until those vertebral segments get unlocked and put back into their proper position

This is where we Doctors Of Chiropractic come in. Here at Morgan Chiropractic in Stuart Florida, Dr William Morgan has helped countless people with this exact issue. A spinal adjustment is where the misaligned spinal segments are unlocked and put back into their proper position. This frees up the spinal nerve root and allows the body to heal without interference.
