Continuous neck pain can affect all aspects of life as one symptom leads to another. It can make sleep impossible which means that you never have any energy to do anything. There are a myriad of examples of the negative effects of pain. Medications often help up to a point, but they do not always relieve the pain completely and they can have terrible side effects. Depending on the problem a visit to Stirling Chiropractor may help.

Neck pain is a common complaint and can be caused by a number of underlying factors. The reason why chiropractic can be so useful in helping relieve symptoms of neck pain is because it looks at the structure of the spine. Problems in the spine can result in knock on effects which cause neck pain or they can cause the pain directly.

A consultation with your doctor for neck pain would most likely result in the prescription of medication. These painkillers block the pain signals so that you are no longer aware of them but they do not look at why the signals are occurring. Your doctor might also suggest x-rays but these only look at the bones and not muscles or ligaments or discs in the spine all of which could be causing the problem.

Chiropractic is based on the idea that many problems are caused by misalignment in the spinal column. It uses manipulations to correct these problems and relieve pressure in the back. There are no pharmaceuticals or surgical procedures involved.

The manipulations are either carried out using a small machine which applies pressure or pressure is applied with the hands. There are also new technologies such as spinal decompression where a machine is used to relieve pressure in the discs between vertebrae.
