Mansfield Chiropractic Treats Neck Pain Without Drugs

By Javier Luque

People are wary of trying out something new. Some wonder what benefit they could derive from the "popping" of bones in the neck. When they think of chiropractic care they equate it to neck twisting alone. That is why consulting a Mansfield chiropractic for neck pain seems unusual for some people. But for those who have tried chiropractic treatment and know how effective it is would recommend chiropractic care.

Neck is referred to as cervical spine. The cervical spine is capable of moving the head in almost all direction. However, this causes neck to be prone to injury and pain. Neck problems are mostly due to the cervical biomechanics such as sitting for prolong period of time, accidents, aging, wear and tear, falls and others.

Neck pain treatment needs the help of a specialist chiropractor in order to know the degree of one's neck ache. A chiropractor can relieve the tension in the neck allowing it to regain motion and ease up pain. A chiropractor specializes in spinal column and neck.

Chiropractors do not just treat neck problems right away. Like regular doctors, they too use diagnostic indicators to diagnose the problem accurately. They are able to find out the type of treatment the patient needs after using the indicators and seeing the results of cervical manipulation.

Chiropractic care entails different ways of managing various cervical disorders. The twisting of neck is actually not part of the program. What chiropractors do is to gently manipulate the cervical area. The popping sound is the result of adjustments made to the neck so motion can be restored in that area. The manipulations often require treating the spinal joints which give out the popping sound.

A Mansfield chiropractic program follows an extensive routine before treatment is started. The chiropractor first find out where the pain in neck comes from. Physical and neurological tests are then applied to the person. Physical tests are in the form of observing the person's posture, movement and physical condition. Chiropractor will feel the spine of the patient. The neurological test often involves testing the patient's reflexes, muscle strength, nerve changes and pain spread to know the extent of the problem.
