Main Cause of Neck Pain

How’s it going guys? I wanted to go over main causes of neck pain that we see in our chiropractic patients. Using our spine model, we see up here that the
0:077 secondsspinal cord is actually much thicker and larger than the very bottom of the spine. Because of this, if there’s any sort of fall, trauma, or injury to the top of the neck or any part of this
0:1616 secondsupper portion of the spine, what will happen is it’s going to be a lot more detrimental and it’s going to increase the instability there between each of
0:2424 secondsthe joints as well as the ligaments holding everything together. So, we have to be very careful in how we address this. We have to be sure that if there’s any sort of injury as far as like a sports injury or even auto accidents,
0:3434 secondswhich we do see here, uh that we analyze and we be sure that we’re safe to adjust in that area, no fractures, dislocations there, and that we check for symptoms
