LOSS OF THE CERVICAL LORDOSIS

the normal, anteriorly convex curvature of the cervical segment of the vertebral column; cervical lordosis is a secondary curvature of the vertebral column, acquired postnatally as the infant lifts its head.

Another important and more traditionally regarded as the cause of Neck pain is loss of the cervical lordosis.  You can see in the first film, the cervical lordosis is reversed before Chiropractic care. After 6 weeks of Chiropractic Care...a complete restoration of the Cervical lordosis. Look at the black lines in the first film...how they stair step forward and inconsistent motion. Look at the black lines in the second film...how they are even and have even flow and motion.

A Whiplash injury can cause or contribute to Loss of the Cervical Lordosis. Delivered from a football injury or a Car Accident. 

Whiplash-type trauma cause muscle and ligament injuries

After and Injury...Scar Tissue turns into increased Fibrosis of the Muscles and Ligaments.

Exercise is 'The Best' way to keep these tissues pliable and toned. 

Chiropractic's approach to 'Whiplash-type' Injuries is to induce motion into the fixed segments.

The Subluxations created by these injuries can be longstanding if not treated in a timely manner.

The VSC (Vertebral Subluxation Complex) can cause pain, restriction and swelling. 

Chiropractic treats the VSC directly.

Obviously, it is better to be treated earlier than later but, it is almost never too late to be treated.

Neck pain is caused in part by nerve irritation, better known as a 'Pinched Nerve'. Chiropractic is not the only health care discipline that recognizes the effect of the Vertebral Subluxation Complex. The effects of the Vertebral Subluxation Complex are generally relied upon and accepted among different healing disciplines, and are being studied in many parts of the world.

Pinched Nerve

Vertebral Subluxation Complex (VSC)

The vertebral subluxation complex is the underlying cause of many healthcare problems. When the Vertebral Subluxation Complex is present, many things can happen to the spine, to its related soft tissues, and to the organs and tissues controlled by the affected nerves. The Vertebral Subluxation Complex usually has five major interrelated components. (Look for the common Latin roots in these words: kine - movement; patho - disease; neuro nerve; myo - muscle; histo - tissue.)

When one or more vertebrae lose their normal position and/or motion, they can interfere with the normal function of the nervous system that the vertebral bones were meant to house and protect. This interference can occur as pressure or irritation on the spinal cord, or on the nerve roots as they pass out of the spinal column. This nerve injury, or interference, is what doctors of chiropractic call the Vertebral Subluxation Complex - "vertebral" meaning relating to bones of the spine; “subluxation" meaning the improper motion or position of the vertebra; and "complex" meaning that the condition consists of many elements.

The patterns that a pinched nerve can follow...

The Vertebral Subluxation Complex describes what happens when spinal bones lose their normal position and motion. Automobile accidents, improper lifting, alcohol, emotional stress, chemical imbalances, and long periods of sitting can cause the Vertebral Subluxation Complex.

The primary job of the doctor of chiropractic is to detect, reduce, and help prevent the Vertebral Subluxation Complex using chiropractic manipulation as the primary form of treatment. Applying a carefully and precisely directed pressure to the spine in a quick manner by hand or special instrument, the doctor of chiropractic is able to restore normal motion and function to the spine, thereby reducing or eliminating the Vertebral Subluxation Complex.

Neck Pain....

In my experience, Neck pain is complicated from the back due to biomechanics. Obviously, the structures in the neck are the primary reasons for pain, but these are not the sole problem or reason for neck pain. 

Similar to Jaw pain, Neck pain's mechanically relationship comes from the back...the midback specifically.

Cervical mobilization/adjustment: The patient is usually lying on his or her back and is relaxed while the chiropractor manually moves the vertebra in the neck left to right, and vice versa.

Neck Pain is not always caused by the Neck. In my experience, it is caused by the MIDBACK. This has to do solely with biomechanics...just like Jaw Pain!!! 

Chiropractic: How Neck Pain Is Treated
The word chiropractic is from the Greek words for hand (cheir) and action (praxis) — practitioners primarily use their hands to treat muscle, joint, and nerve pain by adjusting the spine and joints. 

Neck Pain

Traditional Chiropractic Care....

Adjustments involve the chiropractor applying controlled but sudden force to a joint, pushing the joint beyond the range in which it normally moves. This is intended to loosen up joints that move poorly or painfully due to tissue damage or scarring caused by either trauma or repetitive stress. An example of trauma causing neck pain is whiplash, while a repetitive stress injury could be from consistently poor posture.

For neck pain in particular, chiropractic neck adjustments, called cervical manipulation, loosen up the joints of the cervical vertebrae in the neck, and this can reduce pain caused by pinched nerves and muscle spasms.
