One of my favorite sayings is, “An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure.” So, preventing a problem is always better than dealing with a crisis scenario.
Regular chiropractic care helps to maintain the normal alignment of the spine, which allows for optimal function. It also allows us to keep any small problems from turning into big problems.
By correcting spinal misalignments that we call subluxations, we allow the brain to communicate to the body to allow for optimal function of the body.
A leading cause of neck pain is poor posture. Poor posture leads to what we call forward head posture where the head is being forced forward because there’s a straightening of the neck where there should be a curve. This causes pressure on the nerves, which is going to lead to muscle imbalance, stiffness and pain.
Chiropractic care, when done correctly and consistently can normalize spinal alignment and create muscle balance to correct posture imbalances.
