There are many causes and types of back and neck problems. We tend to find that the majority of people with neck and back pain have a greater musculoskeletal problem rather than just a single muscle or bone/joint issue, which is why we treat the whole area with a multifaceted approach. By treating the problem with chiropractic adjustments, passive methods, proprioceptive exercises, nutrition, and an education in a healthy lifestyle, we find that our patients heal faster and stay well longer.
Occasionally neck and back pain can be caused by disc damage which needs to be evaluated in order to determine if the patient is a candidate for Axial traction (decompression), conservative chiropractic treatments, core strengthening, or surgery.
