Chiropractic and Neck & Back

Chiropractic and Neck & Back

Why neck and back problems?

Neck and back pain is one of the leading causes of disability and functional impairment. Impaired function associated with symptoms in the neck and back often comes from the body needing rest and relaxation to heal itself after overload. It is simply the body's defense mechanisms telling you that it needs rest. Why is the neck and back one of the most important structures in our body? It protects our delicate nervous system. No wonder that the functions of the spine are critical for optimal function.

Common causes of neck and back problems

Nakke- og ryggproblematikk er ofte sett i sammenheng med:

Working at a desk all day, sitting awkwardly on the couch or gardening hunched over for hours at a time are common stressors that you may not even realize might be contributing to improper spinal function

  • Small, repetitive movements. Such as working in the same position day in and day out. Whether it is sitting in front of a desk or working for hours leaning over the flowers in the garden can be contributing factors. Suddenly the body says enough is enough.
  • Activity – contact sports, weightlifting, monotonous activity (skiing, cycling, etc.)
  • Accident/trauma
  • Previous accidents - many come in with "unexplained" neck or back problems. Many have had an accident either a few or many years ago. If the accident resulted in spinal misalignment that was not addressed, your body may have been compensating for years before symptoms manifested.
  • Poor posture
  • Hernia or bulging disc: some people experience back pain with associated radiating symptoms from a slipped or herniated disc.

How are neck and back problems related to chiropractic?

 

Chiropractic care focuses on the integrity of the vertebrae in the spine and the performance of specific corrections to remove pressure on the nervous system resulting from one or more spinal misalignments. Neck and back problems often come from another underlying cause, and the symptoms you may experience with problems in these areas are often a compensation. At TOPCHIRO, we work to restore the integrity of the spine and nervous system so that the body itself can sort out the compensations that have occurred. Whether it is a slipped disc, prolapse or muscle tension.

Once a correction is made, communication between the brain and the body is restored and the body begins to heal and repair itself. Regardless of whether the problem is acute or chronic.

If you or someone you know has neck and back problems and has not had your spine and nervous system analysed and checked, you can contact us and we will give you more information to help you find a solution.
