Neck Problems
The neck is
richly supplied with nerves, glands, tubes, blood and lymph vessels,
and 48 different joints plus the brain stem, spinal cord, spinal
column, muscles, ligaments, tendons, fluids, meninges, and more!
It all balances your heavy head!
Whiplash
occurs when the head and neck are thrown or "whipped"
back and forth very quickly. It can occur in auto accidents, during
football, boxing, other sports, or from a fall. In addition to
the desk and other soft tissue damage, whiplash causes spinal
column misalignment and irritation, stretching, or impingement
to the nerves and spinal cord. About 22 million North Americans
have suffered whiplash damage.
Other neck problems
can be caused by poor posture, work habits, and even birth trauma.
Neck problems and whiplash can cause headaches, numbness, coldness,
or pains-and-needles in the face, chest, arms, wrists, or hands.
They can also result in anxiety, insomnia, low back and neck pain,
ear ringing, dizziness, hearing loss, eye pain, blurred vision,
sensitivity to light, and other symptoms.
Of course, in an accident,
the first order of business is to attend to any life threatening
problem--fracture, hemorage, shock, severe concussion, and the
like. After that, the spine must be attended to.
Chiropractic has been
a blessing to millions of people suffering from neck and whiplash
problems; saving many sufferers from unnecessary drugs and surgery.
Did you know?
Approximately 50,000
infants are born with congenital muscular torticollis in North
America each year. Studies show that Chiropractic should be tried
first, so that surgery may not be needed.
