Neck Pain

At Southern Spinal Rehab, LLC we will strive to relieve any localized or radiating pains that you suffer from with the least invasive forms of treatment possible. Either by means of chiropractic Adjustment or DTS disc decompression therapy, we will do our best to relieve your pain. Advances in surgical techniques and new artificial discs have made tremendous headway in pain relief but their will always be risks associated with any surgical procedure. Recent statistics show that there are roughly 15,600 cases of paralysis or stroke per 1,000,000 cervical surgeries, and 6,900 reported cases of death per 1,000,000 cervical surgeries. Admittedly this is a relatively small percentage, but the risk is there! In certain extreme cases it may be necessary to refer you on to a specialist, however you owe it to yourself to try every possible option before you commit to expensive and potentially risky surgical procedures.

Neck and back problems strike people of all walks of life. They're not just a problem for heavy laborers. Desk workers have a higher incidence of pain over blue collar workers. Being strong doesn't protect you if you abuse your spine. Having a light job doesn't necessarily protect you either.

Stiffness may arise from something as simple as falling asleep in a wrong posture. As the joints lock into this position, the muscles can painfully guard, spasm, and fatigue. Neck problems may also arise from arthritis and injury (i.e. whiplash).
