What Causes Neck Pain?
When a sudden accident or injury hurls your head backward
and forward, your neck gets thrown out of balance. The force can damage parts
of your neck and reverse its natural curve. This may even cause pain in your
shoulders, arms, hands, and low back.
The doctor is uniquely qualified to restore
the health of your spine. Special chiropractic techniques may relieve the
pressure that is causing your neck pain.
Spinal Adjustments
Your treatment depends on the nature of your neck problem.
During a spinal adjustment, the doctor may locate misaligned vertebrae
in your neck and manually apply gentle pressure to reposition the vertebrae.
These adjustments can improve your neck's balance, mobility, and strength,
while relieving pain and stiffness.
The doctor may suggest other types of treatment for
strengthening your neck muscles or relieving muscle tension and pain. These
treatments may include moist heat, ice packs, trigger point therapy, a cervical
collar, or special exercises. The doctor can discuss these with you.

I can't actually remember how or when I met Dr. D. I've been a patient for years. I'm sure glad I did. My life was hectic and still is. I was an IT consultant for many years then changed careers and became a massage therapist. I thought that would be easier on my body. Wrong! I was hurting even more; hand pain, arm and shoulder pain, back and neck pain. You name it, I had suffered from it. After taking time to explain what was going on in my body, Dr. D proceeded to treat me for some time. It wasn't easy, it took several months, but I learned that after years of abuse that I had put my muscles and joints through it would not get better overnight. Today, I am able to practice and work with very little discomfort. I still have to manage my career and exercise routine, but thanks to the way Dr. D treats I know what to do to help myself and what things to stay away from. Its refreshing to meet a professional who clearly loves what he does.
