Up to half of Americans suffer from proverbial pain in the neck each year. Moreover, those suffering from neck pain are very likely to experience a recurrence during the next one to five years. Fortunately, only about one in ten neckpain sufferers experiences pain so severe that it affects their ability to perform daily activities. At the same time, it is important to treat neck pain quickly and effectively to prevent it from becoming a chronic problem. Neck pain may result from muscle strain, worn joints, disc disorders, and injuries. Daily wear and tear can lead to herniation of the intervertebral discs in the neck, which can lead to pinched nerves and subsequent pain. Chiropractic treatment may help.
At FAMILY PRACTICE OF CHIROPRACTIC, we work with the spine, not necessarily because it’s the source of neck and back pain, but because it houses and protects the central nervous system. We believe that our patients deserve the best of health. Start feeling better – call us at 617.472.4220 to schedule an appointment and begin experiencing the natural benefits of chiropractic care. We’re located at 112 McGrath Hwy., Quincy. We offer computerized spinal scans.
P.S. Bony growths (osteophytes) on the vertebrae can pinch nerves in the neck, as can “spinal stenosis” (abnormal narrowing of the spinal canal).
For Your Health,
