There is good news for back pain sufferers. If you catch the pain early and get a few adjustments, the joint derangement can be reversed and normal motion can be restored. This process is drug free, relatively painless, involves no surgical intervention, and has the added bonus of restoring nervous system function to the area of injury. Adjustments are safe for people of all ages and there are extensive clinical trials that demonstrate the effectiveness as superior to many of the other interventions that are more aggressive.

There are a number of reasons for headaches and the more dire causes need to be ruled out before a program of adjusting can begin. Red flags exist with headaches that should trigger you to seek emergency care with your medical facility of choice. A couple of those include: weakness or numbness on one side of the body, facial drooping on one side of the face only, having the worst headache of your life when you normally have only mild or moderate headaches occasionally. As you may have guessed by the opening words of caution, headaches are not to be taken for granted.

Neck pain is one of the most prevalent problems that I see in the office. It usually comes on through some unfortunate sleeping position, repetitive stress, or a trauma. The pain can be sharp, dull, aching, and possibly radiating. Neck pain can radiate to anything from the arms to the head. I frequently see neck pain that causes headache. I also see neck pain that causes pain in the upper back and into the arms. Neck pain is one of the worst conditions you can get that relates to chiropractic treatment. The problem seems worse because you move the neck with every activity.
