What Causes Misalignment In The Spine?

This nerve interference, also known as a subluxation, alters the messages sent from the brain to every cell of the body. If left untreated, Subluxations can slowly undermine your health leading to sickness and disease. Misaligned vertebrae can occur for many reasons, including:

• Sometimes at birth subluxations can be introduced at the beginning of life, while learning to walk or skate.

What Happens During The Initial Intake?

When you visit a chiropractor for neck pain, the doctor will first interview you to understand your medical history and provide a general context for understanding why you are experiencing this specific symptom.

 

What To Expect During The Physical Exam

A physical exam will follow, as well as possible laboratory, diagnostic, or imaging tests. Rather than merely isolating the pain in your neck and dealing with it on its terms, a chiropractor will most likely seek to understand why you are experiencing the pain on your physical and psychological circumstances.

If you are experiencing neck pain due to a car wreck, the focus will be on diagnosing any damage that has been done to your neck and back.

What Goes Into A Treatment Plan?

Unlike your family doctor, a chiropractic doctor administers treatment by making manual adjustments to your spine and by moving your joints around using controlled thrusts and other movements to improve the range and motion of your neck and head. He/she also advise you on proper nutrition and exercise that will help alleviate pain and restore your neck’s functionality. They also recommend a rehabilitation program that includes adjustments or other forms of therapy to move you towards your optimal health.
