How We Can Help
When you visit our chiropractors for chiropractic care at any one of our six locations, they begin with evaluating your entire spinal area, even if the pain is emanating from your neck after trauma. We will examine the whole spine cord, because it’s interconnected regions may get infected.
After diagnosis, our chiropractors may use spinal manipulation to align misaligned neck joints and put them in their correct positions. Muscle relaxation techniques can also be used to release muscle tension and promote blood circulation. We may also suggest corrective exercises to help strengthen your body and prevent future pain or injuries.
