However, your body does a very good job of compensating for the lack of movement in 1 area by increasing the movement in an adjacent area.

So when you ‘pop’ your neck, you are only moving the areas that are already moving. As a result, the relief is often only temporary. The safest, most effective way of getting a release in those parts of your spine which feel stiff, is through an accurate adjustment by a Chiropractor. You will probably need more than one to any particular area over a period of time as your body will try and settle back into its ‘habitual’ posture which it has been holding for months or even years!

Many Chiropractic patients continue with treatment on a periodic basis because they acknowledge they are unwilling or can’t change those elements of their daily lives which conspire to cause these fixations to occur. Examples might include sitting with your shoulders hunched and neck extended, bending poorly when you pick something up or, unavoidable things like having a manual job. Chiropractic is a very physical job in itself and there are few chiropractors who don’t ensure that they receive regular treatment to enable them to continue to work comfortably and avoid injury.

So if you’re looking to get lasting relief and a sustained improvement in joint movement, Chiropractic is for you!
