Research shows that at some point in their life, many Americans will suffer from neck pain. The study also shows that there is no proven, first-line treatment. However, new research has proven that along with light exercise, treatment from a neck chiropractor actually relieves neck pain more effectively than pain medication.

Moderate and acute neck pain is one of the most common reasons that prompt millions of visits each year to a primary care doctor. In some cases, the pain and stiffness crop up without any explanation; it could be just the wrong turn of the neck or sleeping in the wrong posture. Treatment options are varied according to the doctor, including physical therapy, pain medication and spinal manipulation.

It has now been shown in further studies that patients who receive care from a neck chiropractor, together with specific types of exercise, have a significant reduction in pain after just a few weeks compared to patients who only took medication to relieve their pain. This is because the cause of the pain was treated, not just the symptom!

Months and years later, the patients who saw a neck chiropractor were still pain-free. In addition to limited pain relief, medication had at least one other downside; people may keep on taking them, leading to other harmful side effects, such as gastrointestinal problems.

Chiropractic care is a natural and drug-free treatment to improve physical and emotional health as body functions are freed from vertebral subluxation stress. With chiropractic care, diet and exercise, patients are enabled to deal with as much control over their own condition as possible.
