The neck, also referred to as the “cervical spine”, is in charge of many very important tasks. It supports the entire weight of your head (which averages about twelve pounds), it allows you to move your head in a wide range of directions, and provides you with flexibility. It is precisely because of these functions and the location of the neck, that it can be quite prone to pain and injury. If for any reason a person begins to experience neck pain, daily activities begin to suffer, as does the overall quality of life.

Finding the right doctor to suit your individual needs can be a difficult task, particularly if you have never been to a doctor before. There are many different chiropractic care techniques as well as different philosophies and approaches to case management. Sadly, some new chiropractic patients are displeased with their initial chiropractic experience because they chose a doctor whose approach was not consistent with the patient’s wants and expectations.

Chiropractic care has relieved many musculoskeletal problems. The most common ones being neck, back, and shoulder pain. Chiropractic care however is intended to extend health beyond just the alleviation of symptoms. Spinal adjustments allow the free flow of nerve impulses which facilitate overall health to the body. As every cell in the human body is governed by nerve impulses, it is vitally important that these nerves send information free of interference. The application of gentle spinal manipulation removes nerve impingement and allows proper nerve conduction.

Some of us may occasionally have discomfort in the upper back. The spine is made up of 24 vertebrae and the thoracic spine (upper back) is 12 of these bones. The thoracic spine is not as flexible as the cervical spine (neck) and lumbar spine (lower back). Because this section of the spinal column has a great deal of stability and only limited movement, there is generally little risk of injury or degeneration in the upper back.
