NECK PAIN

Chiropractic clinical experience and research supports the effectiveness of chiropractic management for patients with chronic neck pain. There is scientific evidence that chiropractic is more effective than any other treatment for neck pain. In a study comparing the effectiveness of chiropractic spinal manipulation, acupuncture and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, the manipulation group displayed the most substantial improvements.
