We all suffer with neck pain at some time in our lives. There are numerous factors associated with neck pain. It can be a result of a pinched nerve, an infection, an injury or a muscular problem. People who work at a computer all day are very prone to neck pain. Neck pain can range from a gnawing ache to an excruciating pain that affects all nerves from your shoulder to your hand. If you suffer with neck pain, you can be assured of excellent treatment by a Draper Chiropractic physician.

Your neck has seven vertebrae to support your head. However the vertebrae are vulnerable to injury and strain. If you think how often you turn your head from side to side and up and down in a day, it is not surprising so many of us suffer with neck pain.

You will be amazed at the many ways that a chiropractor can help with neck pain. Draper chiropractors have formulated their own techniques, but they also use the conventional chiropractic methods. There are no medications involved in chiropractics.

During your first session the chiropractor will ask you about your medical history. He or she will also want to know other details such as what you eat, if you exercise and your general lifestyle. All these factors will provide important details to determine the type of treatment you need. You may even need an MRI scan or x-rays.

The falsehood that chiropractic doctors 'crack' your neck into position is untrue. They use their hands to gently adjust your neck to the correct position. After diagnosing your problem, the chiropractic doctor will use gentle manipulation to adjust your neck.

There is usually very little discomfort with chiropractic manipulations, as the weight of the body is used in the alignment of your spine. The various chiropractic techniques are designed to heal a specific problem. These techniques help to relieve pain and increase mobility without the use of medication.
