YOUR NECK MAY BE CAUSING ALOT OF YOUR HEALTH PROBLEMS

Many people suffer from a number of symptoms and conditions that are coming from their neck (cervical spine). Symptoms include, but are not limited to:

• Headache that usually starts in the back of the neck or base of the skull and radiates to the head or around the ears
• Slight blurring of vision with slight pupil dilation
• Dizziness or easy loss of balance
• Nausea or poor digestion
• Pressure behind the eyes
• Unexplained fainting attacks
• Ringing in the ears
• Numbness in side of the face, neck, head or tongue
• Tight neck muscles
• Difficulty swallowing
• Pain behind shoulder blade
• Shoulder pain, arm pain, tennis elbow or carpal tunnel syndrome
• Weakness, pain, or tingling in arm, forearm and/or hand; weak grip
• Increased sweating
• Shortness of breath
• Heart palpitations, slightly elevated blood pressure or fast heart rate
• Frontal chest pain
• Numbness and tingling of the fingers when awakening
• Anxiety, panic attacks or insomnia

Most of these symptoms are neurological in nature, but a few are purely postural. The simplest explanation is that poor movement or misalignment of the neck irritates the sympathetic or "fight or flight" nervous system. This could be caused by a recent or old car accident, sports injury, fall, or other neck trauma that didn't heal fully or correctly. Long term poor posture can also be a factor.

Our office is focused on finding the causes of these nerve irritations and correcting them through Chiropractic adjustments, exercise, and other hands-on and non-invasive treatments.
