Chiropractic Care for Neck Pain

Improper functioning of the neck vertebra can not only cause local neck pain, but can also irritate nerves going to the head and down the arm-thus causing headaches, shoulder pain, elbow pain, or hand pain.

Chiropractic is an approach that restores the proper position and movement of neck to relieve neck pain, headaches, and arm pain. It’s a popular therapy that does not involve medication, an important consideration for many people.

Dr. Paul Gurney has advanced certification in whiplash injuries-this is above and beyond the regular training of most chiropractors.
