Many of us have been misled into thinking pain is a problem. A headache? Numb it. Gallbladder malfunctioning? Remove it. A sore throat? Soothe it.
Although these seem like logical assumptions, the pain you are experiencing is actually the effect of the problem and not the cause.

“Where should I go to relieve my neck and low back pain?”
When you suffer with neck and low back pain you should consider an evaluation first by a qualified chiropractor. The majority of these spinal complaints are caused by irritation and inflammation of muscles, tendons, and ligaments that not only help create the structure of the spinal column but provide for the full mobility of the spinal vertebrae. By locating regions of your spine where mobility is decreased, your chiropractor is able identify the areas that are in need of treatment. The treatment includes not only restoring mobility to the spinal joints, but to revitalize and strengthen the weakened areas. Treatments may include the expertise of physical therapists, massage therapists, and advanced technological tools to help expedite the healing process.
Do Not Ignore the Signs
Overall, pain is a warning sign, but many problems that cause pain can resolve on their own. With some categories of physical problems, making the time to visit your chiropractor is the best course of action. Repetitive episodes of spinal pain should always be evaluated by your chiropractor. A severe headache should probably lead to a chiropractic examination, especially if you’ve never before had the type and intensity of pain that you’re currently experiencing. Persistent radiating pain into an arm or a leg, accompanied by numbness and tingling, can also be evaluated by your chiropractor. Again, if discomfort continues and you can’t clearly explain to yourself why you’re having the pain that you’re having, the best thing to do is to make an appointment to see your doctor, that is, your chiropractor or your physical medicine team. Most importantly you want to obtain expert information and advice, and to receive treatment if needed with the most helpful instructions on how to care for yourself in the coming days, weeks, or months ahead.

It can happen in an instant! You were simply driving your car – possibly in auto-pilot- then out of no where another car swerves or an animal runs in the road and suddenly you slam on your brakes. Most often we avoid the collision of another object but often in cases we don’t. Unfortunately this sharp stop can be more harmful than you first suspect.
The “Sharp Stop” and Your Spine
Your spine houses and your spinal cord. The first cervical vertebra, Atlas or C1, is the most freely movable vertebra in the spine and the one most likely to cause irritation or tension to the spinal cord. It pivots around the second cervical vertebra, the Axis or C2, connected only by ligaments and tendons, but has no disc, making it uniquely different from the rest of the spine. This is what allows the majority of spinal rotation to occur, but at the price of instability.
Any kind of head or neck trauma can cause a misalignment to your spine. Now add a sharp stop – especially one of an automobile or mechanical vehicle, which adds more speed and force.
Today, intensive research studies have demonstrated that any collision greater than 11mph is serious because it can cause whiplash and misalignments to your cervical spine and damage to underlying muscle, ligaments and surrounding tissue, leading to further problems with your nervous system. C1 and C2 are most vulnerable and if left undetected and uncorrected, can lead to nerve interference, which results in poor function inside the body and a deterioration in your health.
An Interesting Study
A study published in August 2, 2004 in the peer reviewed “Journal of Vertebral Subluxation”, showed that the onset of both Parkinson`s Disease and Multiple Sclerosis were statistically related to trauma to the head and or neck. The study also showed that a high percentage of the patients in this retrospective study benefited significantly from chiropractic and soft tissue rehabilitation care.
This study reviewed the cases of 81 patients with either Parkinson`s Disease or Multiple Sclerosis. Of the 81 patients 78 recalled that they had experienced at least one head or neck trauma prior to the onset of their disease. Of the patients in this study, 39 reported that they were involved in auto accidents, 29 noted that they had been involved in some sort of sporting accidents, such as skiing, horseback riding, cycling, and football and 16 were involved in falls such as on icy pavements or down stairs. The length of time between the traumatic event and onset of their disease varied from two months to 30 years.
All 81 patients received specific chiropractic care for correction of spinal misalignments. The results were astounding!
Of the 44 Multiple Sclerosis cases, 40 (91%) reported improvement from the chiropractic care. Of these, 28 showed “substantial” improvement; 8 showed “moderate” improvement; and 5 showed “minor” improvement. No further progression of Multiple Sclerosis was noted in the improved cases during the care period, which ranged from one to five years depending on the patient. Only four cases reported “no change” in their condition.
Of the 37 patients with Parkinson`s Disease, 34 (92%) reported improvement. Of these patients, 16 showed “substantial” improvement; 8 showed “moderate” improvement; and 11 showed “minor” improvement. As with the MS patients, no further progression of Parkinson’s Disease was noted in the improved cases during the care period, which ranged from one to five years depending on the patient. Only three cases reported “no change” in their condition.
The conclusions published in the Journal showed that a causal link exists between trauma-induced upper cervical (neck) injury and disease onset for both Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson`s Disease. Correcting the injury to the upper cervical spine (C1 & C2) with chiropractic and soft tissue rehabilitation seemed to arrest and reverse the progression of both of these diseases in the patients in this study. These results offer hope to patients who suffer from these debilitating diseases.
Why Wait? What is Stopping You?
There are so many variables involved in how an accident occurs, as there are with the individual victim, so it is impossible to predict an exact pattern of symptoms. It may also be the case that injuries are felt within an hour of the accident, or not until weeks or months later. Generally, though, there is an array of conditions that is very often seen after whiplash: neck pain, headaches, TMJ problems, brain injury, dizziness, and low back pain.
Whiplash injuries should be treated by specially trained professionals who know and understand this condition early before disease processes can begin. The most effective treatment combines chiropractic care with rehabilitation of the soft tissues, and a self-care routine.
So why wait until you become sick.
