Doctor of Chiropractic for Neck and Back Pain

When experiencing both neck and back pain or either individually, pay a visit to your neighborhood Doctor of Chiropractic.  Chiropractic offers a holistic, drugless, and non-invasive mode of care that allows your body to heal itself.  For neck and back pain relief, Chiropractors identify the root cause of the symptoms rather than masking them up.  When a vertebra in the spine is out of alignment, organs and tissues that receive innervation from corresponding spinal nerves often experience dysfunction as well as pain.  Chiropractors employ the use of the spinal adjustment which when applied to particular regions and segments of the spine, gets rid of impingement on nerves.  In the case of neck and back pain, an adjustment to a particular vertebra that is out of alignment will often provide quick relief; however, the objective of the Chiropractor is to correct subluxations rather than focusing on temporary symptoms.  In addition, symptoms such as neck and back pain do not develop over night.  Instead, neck and back pain often result because of constant stress on the body.  If not corrected, the body can experience a variety of symptoms and problems from misaligned vertebra and resultant subluxations when under chronic stress.  In addition to providing spinal adjustment, Chiropractors also may employ therapeutic modalities such as manual therapy, ultrasound, or electrical stimulation for more effective and efficient healing.  After pain is no longer present, patients often decide to make regular appointments for adjustments to stay in optimal health.[1]
