Hey again. Only a chiropractic adjustment can correct the subluxations in your spine. Only corrective chiropractic care (specialized within the profession) can efectively take a spine and restore it back to near normal. That being said, only 80-100% correction is available in Phase 1, 60-80% in Ph2, 40-60% in Ph3 and 0-30% improvement in Ph4. Yoga is great, massage is great, physcial exercise is great, but this type of problem requires specific chiropractic adjustments - Not simply an adjustment. there are essentially two types of Chiropractors - those that help people get out of pain, and those who not only help people get out of pain but work to correct the underlying causes of the problem through ongoing adjustments, exercises,nutrition etc.
What caused the subluxations in your neck?
There are three basic causes of subluxations: physical traumas, emotional stresses, and chemical toxicities. Physical causes could include the birth process, slips, falls, accidents, sports injuries, repetitive motions and improper lifting. These traumas can actually push spinal vertebrae into a misaligned position.
Toxic or chemical causes could include alcohol, drugs, environmental toxins, vaccines, and poor diet.
Examples of emotional causes of subluxations are grouped under stressful conditions such as loss of loved one, loss of job, divorce, etc.
This emotional/toxic connection relates to the muscles of our back and how they are adversely affected during these high stress periods. Our primary spinal musculature holds and anchors our spinal bones in their proper positions.
Muscle weakness or imbalance from stress, as well as improper exercise or obesity, creates a condition known as myopathology whereby subluxations can occur.
Hope this helps. If you need help finding a corrective care Dr in your area, let me know and I will do my best to find you one.
God Bless,
