Neck Pain and Chiropractic Care in Kelowna

Neck pain is one of the most common complaints that practice members initially seek chiropractic care for.

The neck is the most nerve sensitive area of your entire spine. If there is a misalignment (subluxation) in the neck, there is pressure on the many different nerves.

Imagine holding a 12 pound bowling ball on the tips of your fingers, hard job! That is what your neck does all day long. This is one of the reasons that it is so prone to misaligning.

Typically most practice members can experience anything that results in an inability to turn the neck from side to side, combined with sharp pains, to a dull ache throughout the entire neck and shoulders.

Any type of neck pain is a warning signal that there is something wrong in the body. Leaving a misalignment (subluxation) can create longer standing issues (arthritis and permanent nerve damage resulting in further health complaints) if not addressed quickly.

At our office, we focus on removing nervous system pressure from your neck, primarily. The reason for this is because of the rich nerve supply in the neck. Also, because your neck is where your spinal cord and your brainstem originate, misalignments in your neck put an immense amount of pressure on your brainstem and spinal cord, which in turn can create dis-ease in your entire body.

If you are suffering from neck pain and you would like it to stop, or even better, if you want to be proactive in terms of your health and would like to get checked, call and book your no obligation consultation with your Kelowna chiropractors.

"An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure!"
