Chiropractic corrects the distortions of the cervical spine and the compressive forces that are commonly created by the activities of the modern lifestyle.
Chiropractic corrects the distortions of the cervical spine and the compressive forces that are placed on the vertebrae due to muscular tension and foward head carriage. these are very common conditions created by the activities of the modern lifestyle. The muscular system is under great strain because of the contractions that often contribute to unhealthy habits and postures. Neck and shoulder pain then show up, often giving rise to headaches, dizziness and numbing or tingling of the hands and arms. Carpal tunnel syndrome may also be experienced when there are longstanding misalignments of the cervical spine, as well as overuse due to repetive actions of the handds and wrists.
The small sub-occipital muscles of the head often store tension that limit the range of motion of the cranium over the neck. Chiropractic works by reducing and eliminating this stored tension thereby reestablishing proper joint biomechanics. To the patient, that simply translates into welcomed relief.
Chiropractic care is by far the best choice toremedy and manage these common conditions and health problems. Why? because chiropractic is a mechanical solution to a mechanical problem. In addition to relief from pain and stiffness you can avoid the dreaded irreversible degeneration of the cervical spine. Spinal degeneration is a a slow, non reversible process that can go on for years without any signs or symptoms. Prevention and management are the best strategies to follow since early intervention will avoid much unneccesary suffering and the increased expense of prolonged care.
It is wise to realize that a consequence of spinal degeneration is the loss of disc height thru dehydration. Disc dehydration weakens the outer portion of the disc, which is a major reason for disc herniations. A problem you truly want to avoid.
Any history of past spinal trauma such as whiplash is closely associated with spinal degeneration. So if you have ever had a whiplash accident or had to wear a neck brace for any reason, chances are your spine is undergoing degeneration. (without you knowing it). Degeneration is also an important contributing factor to loss of bone density commonly known as osteoporosis. Chiropractic care now will help halt both the degeneration and the osteoporosis. It would be wise to have your spine checked by a Chiropractor.
look in the mirror, common visual external signs of spinal degeneration are a "humping" of the neck that occurs through forward head carriage and a rounding of the shoulders. Uneven shoulder height also indicates muscular imbalances that are affecting the cervical spine. In my office I will evaluate your spine and carefuly explain it to you, for free. I am confident that a clear understanding will lead you to see preventive - corrective care as a wise decision.
