Trauma can damage the soft tissues in the neck and back which have many nerves. All of these are connected to muscles, ligaments, discs and joints. Over time, the normal shape of the cervical and lumbar spine can be altered from accidents or muscle spasms caused by chronic mental stress. Also, physical activities and positions that cause the body to improperly “hang” on the spine for a prolonged period of time can be a frequent cause of neck and back pain.

Research has proven the cost effectiveness of neck pain by chiropractic care versus traditional physical therapy and traditional medical care. People treated with chiropractic heal faster and at a lower cost.
