Pain has many causes but more often than not headaches can have
their origin in neck dysfunction. This pain can also travel down
the neck and into the top of the shoulders and even affect the
arms and upper chest. This will also involve muscle tension or
sprain.
Chiropractic treatment is aimed at reversing this dysfunction and
allowing normal nervous and muscular behaviour. This in turn will
reduce the pain and restore normal mechanical function to the area.
These problems can occur from whiplash due to car accident or bad
posture, now commonly seen in the computer industry, salesmen and
in schoolchildren who carry their books in the wrong sort of bag.
If these problems are left unresolved permanent changes in the posture
can develop and arthritis could become a problem. Early treatment
is advised because the time to get better depends on how long the
problem has existed. The longer the wait the more work there is
to do to get you back to normal.
