Chiropractic and Neck Pain
Whether sleeping in an awkward position or staring at a computer screen too long, if you’ve ever experienced neck pain, you know how uncomfortable it can be. People with neck pain often visit chiropractors to help them regain their quality of life.
What does the research say?
- Neck pain affects millions of people worldwide. The World Health Organization estimates about 50% of adults will experience significant neck pain at some point in their lives.
- Research shows that neck pain responds very well to chiropractic care. Studies published in the Annals of Internal Medicine and the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found chiropractic care more effective and safer in reducing neck pain than medication.
- Multiple case studies in the Annals of Vertebral Subluxation Research found chiropractic care effectively reduces vertebral subluxation, leading to the resolution of neck pain.
What is Chiropractic?
- Chiropractic is based on the understanding that the body is self-healing and self-regulating, directed by the nervous system.
- The nervous system is the body’s communication system, carrying messages between the brain and every muscle, organ, and tissue.
- The spine protects these nerves, and when spinal bones lose proper alignment or motion, they can interfere with nerve communication.
- This interference is called a vertebral subluxation, and it can disrupt how the body functions, adapts, and heals—often before pain is felt.
- Chiropractors locate, analyze, and correct vertebral subluxations to reduce nerve interference and restore clearer brain-body communication.
- When communication improves, function improves, allowing the body to express health and life more fully.
How can chiropractic care help people with neck pain?
- By locating and adjusting vertebral subluxations, chiropractors help reduce or remove interference within the nervous system.
- When interference to the nervous system is reduced, communication between the brain and the body can function more clearly and efficiently.
- When brain-body communication improves, the body is better able to function, adapt, and heal.
What are some of the other benefits of chiropractic care?
- Greater capacity to handle life’s demands
- Improved adaptability and resilience
- Optimized whole body function
- Greater vitality and energy
