Chiropractic for Neck and Back Pain
Neck Pain
The neck and shoulders are put under strain with poor posture, sedentary time in front of a screen, emotional stress, sports injuries, falls and accidents. Because of the close relationship between the spine and nerves, everyday strains can actually impact the communication between the brain and the body. Messages may not be delivered to the brain, or could be inaccurate. When that miscommunication happens it’s called a ‘subluxation’ and can lead to symptoms such as:
Limited movement or rotation
Muscle tightness
Muscle spasms
Headaches
Aching
Sharp pain
Stuck feeling
Difficulty sleeping or getting comfortable
Irritability
Pins and needles or numbness in the hands
Specific chiropractic adjustments to the restricted neck joints restores their natural movement and exercises the deep, little muscles close to the spine, which ‘wakes up’ the brain to pay attention to what’s going on at this location, so the brain can recalibrate the symptoms, discs and soft tissues may heal, nerve involvement may be reduced, pain can ease and better stability return.
Back Pain
& Sciatica
Sometimes the wear and tear of everyday life can impact the spine and cause spinal segments to move abnormally, in a dysfunctional way. That wear and tear can happen gradually, due to poor posture, or suddenly with sports injuries, falls and accidents. Because of the close relationship between the spine and nerves, everyday strains can actually impact the communication between the brain and the body. Messages may not be delivered to the brain, or could be inaccurate. When that miscommunication happens, it’s called a ‘subluxation’ and can lead to symptoms such as:
Back pain
Limited movement or rotation
Hip or Pelvic pain
Sciatica
Muscle tightness
Muscle spasms
Aching
Sharp pain
Stuck feeling
Difficulty sleeping or getting comfortable
Pins and needles or numbness in the legs or feet
Pain of any kind is a signal something’s wrong. Some people mask their symptoms with a pain reliever and ignore the message that there’s an underlying problem. - but that would be like removing the battery to silence a smoke detector.

The brain recalibrates the symptoms, discs and soft tissues may heal, nerve involvement may be reduced, pain can ease and better stability return.
