Neck Pain & Stiffness

If you have recently been involved in a car accident and are experiencing neck pain and stiffness in the upper back, you could have whiplash. Whiplash associated disorders do not always include neck pain and stiffness but most often do. As a matter of fact, 70% of those suffering from whiplash experience headaches of various degrees within a day of the accident injury suffered from a rear-end or side-impact collision.

Kare Chiropractic Clinics offer treatment for neck pain (cervical pain), upper back pain, shoulder pain and more. Our Doctors are rigorously trained to diagnosis the different types of neck conditions and to then recommend specific treatment approaches for those conditions. Through manipulation, that is the active, hands-on care that returns motion to the spine. Our goal is to return our patients back to normal spinal mechanics along with relax muscles and no pain.

Our Doctors are trained to evaluate your entire spine. This evaluation will include your neck (cervical spine), mid back (thoracic spine) and the lower back (lumbar spine). It is important to remember that just because your neck is hurting, that neck pain may be originating elsewhere along the spine.

Your Kare Clinic Chiropractor will determine areas of restriction in your joints, the possibility of disc injury, muscle spasms, and potential ligament injuries. These diagnostic tests will be performed through motion and static palpation, or more commonly known as examination by touch. By feeling for tenderness, tightness, and how well each spinal joint moves our Doctors of Chiropractic will be able to determine a course of rehab and chiropractic measures to restore you back to optimal spinal health.
