 What Causes Headaches?
Headaches are often triggered by problems in the neck or shoulders. For instance, neck or shoulder muscles can tighten or overstretch. Joints and bones can move out of alignment. And nearby nerves and blood vessels can become irritated. These problems can be caused by an injury. They can also result from poor posture or stress from repeated actions, such as looking down to read.
With chiropractic care you can get relief from headaches. You can also learn ways to help prevent future headaches.

What Causes Neck Pain?
Your neck protects your spinal cord and spinal nerves, while supporting and balancing the weight of your head. Poor posture, wear and tear, injury, stress and tension can strain or damage vital parts of your neck.

A Healthy Neck
Your neck (cervical spine) is aligned in a natural curve at the top of your spine. Damage to your neck’s curve can cause painful problems. |

What Can I Do To Keep My Neck In Shape?
Smart Support
Whether sleeping, sitting, standing, or driving, keep your neck healthy by remembering good posture, keeping a straight and well supported spine. Your chiropractor can tell you about simple exercises for increasing the strength and flexibility of your neck.
Spinal Checkups
Just as you need regular dental exams, you also need regular spinal exams. Even if you don’t have symptoms, chiropractic care is one of the best ways to help prevent spinal problems. Your doctor of chiropractic can help you and your family maintain healthier lives free of neck and pain. |
