| I'm hurting. I can't think straight. What should I do? |
The simplest way to look at Chiropractic Care is to
understand that the injured area of your body has
more mechanical stress on it than the other areas.
This could have been due to a sudden injury like a
fall or car accident or it could have developed over
time or for complete other reasons. Either way, this
extra mechanical stress will cause soft tissue in or
around the injury site to stretch and tear causing
the pain and swelling you feel.

The Quick Answer To A Complex Question!
Normally, when the spinal joints (or any joints) are
moving properly, the muscles and ligaments
surrounding that joint can move within their normal
injury free range. When they move beyond that
range, they tear and cause the majority of the pain we feel in classic back and neck pain.

Sometimes, the nerves can become involved which leads to pain that runs down the legs
or into the arms or even the head. A Chiropractor will do an exam and find the areas that
are not moving correctly, usually, but not always, the painful area, and gently get things
moving better. By removing stress from the injured area, your body can start healing and
you feel better. It's like having a cut on your finger and you kept pulling at it. It would
never heal correctly. Fortunately, if you remove the stress from the area by "unsticking
the joints", the injured soft tissues (i.e. muscles, ligaments, tendons) can start healing
which means less pain and stiffness for you.
