When a patient seeks chiropractic care for a condition like neck pain or low back pain, it’s natural to assume the underlying cause is located in the region where the patient feels symptoms. But this isn’t always the case. Sometimes, the primary or contributing factor to the patient’s chief complaint can be elsewhere in the body.

Summer is in full swing, and with the warmer months come plenty of action-packed vacations and road trips. During many of these trips, people who work sedentary jobs day to day will be moving a lot more than they normally do. This sudden change in activity can cause strain on the musculoskeletal (MSK) system, especially if your body is unprepared for the extra activity,

The musculoskeletal system is comprised of the spine, muscles, bones and joints, making up most of your body and therefore opening the door for potential strains and injuries if you are not prepared. Just like you pack for a vacation to prepare for what you will need while away from home, you need to prepare your body, as well.

Joint pain is common, especially in the knees, hips, shoulders, hands, neck, and lower back. While often described as a normal part of aging, joint pain is not always simply about “getting older.” There are multiple forms of arthritis, with osteoarthritis being the most common diagnosis. Researchers estimate that approximately 30–40% of middle-aged adults and 50–70% of older adults have some degree of osteoarthritis.

The primary reason (93%) patients go to chiropractors is for the management of spinal pain complaints. Specifically, 63% go to chiropractors for low back pain, and 30% go to chiropractors for neck pain.

Chiropractic care is primarily mechanical-based care. The distinguishing difference between the mechanical-based care of chiropractic as compared to other mechanical-based disciplines is the spinal adjustment.

Whiplash is a common neck injury that typically occurs when the head is suddenly forced backward and forward, often during a motor vehicle collision, sports injury, or fall. This rapid motion can place excessive stress on the muscles, joints, ligaments, discs, and nerves of the cervical spine. Many people walk away from a collision feeling relatively normal only to develop neck pain, stiffness, headaches, dizziness, or shoulder pain hours or even days later. This delayed onset can cause some individuals to underestimate the severity of the injury or delay seeking evaluation.

“That’s the thing about pain. When you are in agony, it is all-encompassing,” writes Dr. Sanjay Gupta in his latest book about pain.(1) In it, the neurosurgeon acknowledges that, “Because opioids have consumed most of the conversation, most people don’t even realize there are plenty of other effective options to help relieve pain”...
