Neck Treatment:

Your neck is made up of seven bones, referred to as cervical vertebrae, with discs between them.
There are a lot of structures in your neck. Your bones are strapped together with ligaments; tendons attach your bones to muscles and your neck is full of muscles that attach from your head and vertebrae to your ribs, shoulder blade (scapula), collar bone (clavicle), breastbone (sternum) and other structures in your chest. You've also got millions of nerves, blood and lymphatic vessels all over the place. In addition, there's a food tube (esophagus), an air tube (trachea), a voice box (larynx) and so many more things it would take many pages to discuss them all. Your neck is a very busy place.

You have 7 vertebrae with discs in between and spinal nerves coming out at each level. Chiropractors pay particular attention to the neck because inside your neck, inside your vertebrae, is a special canal: the spinal canal. Your spinal cord passes through your spinal canal. If the neck vertebrae are not properly aligned, the billions of nerves making up your spinal cord may be affected.

The result? A misalignment (subluxation) of a cervical (neck) vertebra can cause almost any health problem. Your resistance to disease, your immune system, headaches, migraines, arm pain or tingling, pinched nerves, swollen fingers, organs - all can be adversely affected by an unhealthy neck.

We use gentle non-force techniques- diversified or activator for those who don’t like their head turned.
