McHenry Chiropractic Care Helps Get Your Head on Straight for Neck Pain Relief

Ever heard the saying “get your head on straight”?  It has an entirely other meaning to your McHenry chiropractor at OrthoIllinois Chiropractic. Your chiropractor actually looks at how your head is aligned on your neck. That alignment – or misalignment – may cause pain, neck pain, with or without shoulder pain.  OrthoIllinois Chiropractic eases such pain gently and successfully for McHenry neck pain and McHenry shoulder pain patients. McHenry chiropractic care is evidence-based and has research-documented protocols for neck pain relief.

GENTLE COX® TECHNIC FOR NECK PAIN

Does your head sit forward on your neck? It is a common condition in us humans. It can cause neck and shoulder pain, headache and loss of neck motion (such as looking behind to back up your car). Chiropractors like yours at OrthoIllinois Chiropractic have a specific form of McHenry spinal manipulation to aid this condition called Cox® Flexion Distraction Decompression spinal manipulation. The treatment is based on the anatomical changes documented in biomechanical research studies to be produced when this spinal manipulation is delivered. Namely the increased size of the opening through which the nerve passes, the reduction of the pressure within the intervertebral disc, the increased disc space height, the regaining normal ranges of motion of the neck, and the establishment of spinal cord stimulation to create chemical changes that lessen pain. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic has research studies that document these pain-relieving transformations for which McHenry neck pain patients choose care at OrthoIllinois Chiropractic.  McHenry chiropractic care at OrthoIllinois Chiropractic is based on such studies.

NECK POSITION RESTORATION

A research study issued in December 2017 demonstrated that spinal manipulation - like that given at OrthoIllinois Chiropractic - achieves this pain relief. It is given in the upper thoracic spine (between the upper shoulder areas). (1) The treatment can be given on specially designed spinal manipulation tables for treating such conditions. This research paper noted that there was increased range of motion, enhanced positioning of the head on the neck, reduced neck and head pain and reduced disability. So, if this description describes your neck and head posture, seek care at OrthoIllinois Chiropractic for this specialized type of spinal manipulation. It’s gentle and effective.
