Gentle Chiropractic Techniques for Neck Pain

Neck pain can be very painful. Gentle techniques should be used initially as to not inflame the already panful area. At Elliott Chiropractic, we start by X-Raying your neck in a standing weight bearing position – this allows us to identify the faulty joint. Next, we examine your neck to further pin-point the origin. Once we have ascertained the cause, we begin to correct the Cervical spine (Neck). Below is an example of a protocol used on one our our clients, let’s call him Joe. Joe had pain in the neck shooting into the right arm & hand, also with weakness in his right hand. He had a disc bulge in his neck that was compressing a nerve that travels to the hand.

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression of the Cervical Spine (Neck). This procedure decompresses the disc in the neck which pulls the disc back into place within the spine. Patient immediately felt significant reduction in pain.
Gentle full spine adjusting using and arthrostim spinal adjustor, non painful.
Gentle vertical manual spinal adjusting, Non Painful.
Upper & Lower Cross rehab exercises which pull the total spine back into a more stable position. Time – 5 min (3 x) a day.
Home heat 20 min then ice 20 min in this order tom reduce swelling with the spine & ease pain.

This protocol eliminated Joe’s symptoms for good as he does the at home exercises when needed which keeps proper function and stability in his spine.
