Neck Pain
Treatment of Neck Pain
Taking pain medication only masks the pain while also delivering unwanted side effects. In order for one to fully recover from neck pain, patients need to treat the cause. A misalignment of the cervical neck discs needs to be adjusted. When these discs and bones are not in the correct position, they pinch spinal nerves and trigger the muscles to tighten and spasm. If left untreated, patients may suffer from long term nerve damage which can cause not only pain in the arm, but weakness. Chiropractic care is the leading treatment for neck pain. Not only does chiropractic cure neck pain, but can prevent future neck problems from occurring.
