What a Chiropractic Adjustment is Actually Like | Chiropractor for Neck Pain in Belmar, NJ
Hello, everyone! Dr. Jodi Kinney here, and I’m excited to introduce a series of videos this month focused on addressing neck pain. Many of us struggle with neck pain due to poor posture while using computers, which can lead to the loss of the normal backward cervical curve. This often results in increased stress and pressure on the nerves exiting the neck, potentially causing pain, stiffness, and limited mobility.
Understanding Neck Pain
Neck pain can arise from various factors:
- Poor Posture: Sitting with poor posture, especially at computers, can significantly strain the neck.
- Accidents: Injuries from events like car accidents, especially those involving whiplash, can persistently affect the neck.
- Sports Injuries: Old sports injuries can lead to chronic neck issues if not properly addressed.
- Arthritis and Degeneration: These conditions can exacerbate the need for chiropractic care to relieve nerve pressure and discomfort.
Live Adjustment Demonstration
Today, I’ll demonstrate how I adjust the cervical spine to alleviate neck pain. Our patient today, Christy, will help us understand this process.
Adjustment Procedure
- Initial Examination: Identifying areas where the spine is not moving correctly, known as subluxations, through palpation.
- Chiropractic Adjustment: Using gentle pressure to realign the vertebrae, enhancing spinal movement and reducing nerve pressure.
- Post-Adjustment Care: Concluding with neck stretches to loosen surrounding muscles, aiding in improved range of motion and reducing tension.
Why Seek Chiropractic Care?
- Alleviate Pain: Proper adjustments can significantly reduce neck pain and stiffness.
- Restore Mobility: Adjustments help restore normal motion, preventing long-term mobility issues.
- Prevent Chronic Conditions: Addressing issues early can prevent the development of chronic conditions associated with neck pain.
