Neck pain affects millions worldwide, from mild discomfort to debilitating pain that significantly impacts daily life. With neck pain often stemming from poor posture and improper spinal alignment, chiropractic care has been a common source of relief. However, traditional chiropractic treatment frequently provides only temporary relief. TrueForm Corrective Chiropractic introduces a paradigm shift with its focus on delivering lasting results.

The Traditional Chiropractic Approach

Traditional chiropractic care primarily offers spinal adjustments, which were once thought to realign the spine. While adjustments effectively improve mobility, reduce pressure from improper alignment, and often provide immediate relief, they don’t actually correct the alignment itself. Consequently, pain often returns within a few days after an adjustment.

TrueForm Corrective Chiropractic’s Approach

TrueForm Corrective Chiropractic focuses on truly correcting spinal alignment. This involves more than just adjustments; it requires addressing both muscles and ligaments. We utilize targeted corrective exercises to strengthen the supporting muscles, enabling them to hold the spine in its proper position. In addition, we use spinal remodeling traction to gently shift the spine into its correct position by stretching and reshaping the ligaments, much like braces correct teeth. This approach ensures real change to spinal alignment and pain relief that lasts. See our results here!

The Most Common Alignment Problems Causing Neck Pain

Understanding your alignment is essential for resolving your neck pain. Here are some of the most common alignment problems that contribute to neck pain and how to identify them.

• Forward Head Posture: Forward head posture occurs when the head is positioned in front of the shoulders, rather than directly above them. This position forces the neck muscles to work harder to support the head, directly contributing to tension headaches, neck pain, and muscle tightness throughout the neck and upper back.
• Loss of Cervical Lordosis: The neck, or cervical spine, has a normal c-shape curve that allows for optimal shock absorption and flexibility. Loss of cervical lordosis, or a straightening of this curve, can lead to increased stress on the neck, headaches, and pain. This loss of curve, can also lead to premature degenerative disc disease.
• Cervical Kyphosis: Cervical kyphosis is a condition where the natural inward curve of the neck (cervical spine) doesn’t simply diminish, but actually reverses. This abnormal forward curvature places significant stress on the neck, the spinal cord, and surrounding tissues. 
• Lateral Head Shift: Lateral head shift refers to an abnormal posture where the head is displaced to one side relative to the shoulders. Instead of being centered, the head leans to the left or right.This condition creates an imbalance in the musculoskeletal system of the neck and upper back, leading to pain, muscle fatigue, and reduced range of motion.

Why Correcting the Root Cause Matters

Correcting the underlying causes of neck pain leads to more sustainable, long-lasting relief. By understanding and properly treating these issues, TrueForm Corrective Chiropractic helps prevent recurrence and promotes lasting spinal health. The goal of our approach is to not only alleviate immediate pain, but also prevent future issues. Ignoring the underlying causes can lead to chronic pain, progressive degeneration, and increased risk of future injury.
