Neck Pain and subluxations

Neck Subluxations
Ok, in the past I have talked about the intervertebral subluxation complex, which as a reminder is when the vertebrae in the spine are mis-aligned or restricted in motion and affects how the nerves that come out of that specific area work.

When subluxations happen in the neck they can cause all kinds of problems, some that you can feel such as pain, numbness and tingling, and some that you can't feel like increased blood pressure.

Common signs that you might have a cervical (neck) subluxation are:

* headaches
* neck pain
* shoulder pain
* numbness and/or tingling down the arms and fingers
* restricted range of motion
* tension in your muscles

Unfortunately, sometimes subluxations can occur without causing any immediate clear symptoms such as pain. These types of subluxations affect the overall health and wellness of the patient, causing that patient to not live up to his full potential.

Routine chiropractic examinations and adjustments are important to identify and remove subluxations in your spine that may be causing you to live in a sub-optimal state.

If you haven't had your spine checked lately, call the office today for an appointment and lets keep you in the best state you can be.

Immunity and Chiropractic

So summer is here, and apparently so is the flu. Often patients don't want to come into the office if they have the flu or are sick. That is the perfect time to come in. Chiropractic adjustments relieve subluxations that maybe be preventing your body from fighting disease. In fact, untreated subluxations may be the cause of a weaken immune systems that makes you susceptible to develop symptoms.

Remember, viruses and bacteria are all around us and on us. Only when our bodies are weak do this viruses and bacteria develop into symptoms and disease.

Have you had your spine checked lately?
