Neck Pain

Here at Summit Chiropractic, we believe in healing the body, not just one ailment. But many times patients see us for localized pain and discomfort, such as neck pain, and it is our first priority to treat that condition first. By treating this area, the rest of the body also starts healing thanks to better balance and harmony. Unfortunately, neck pain is a common complaint with our patients, as it can result from injuries or repetitive motions and strain.

 

According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, the following causes can lead to neck pain:

• Bad posture
• Bending over for long periods of time
• Whiplash and vehicle accidents
• Sleeping in the wrong position
• Turning or twisting
• Sprains
• Medical conditions
• Infection or cancer of the spine

Pain medications only relieve the pain and discomfort for a short period of time, and it typically returns in a few hours. With chiropractic care provided by Dr. Kent Carlomagno, patients are addressing the cause of their neck pain, not just covering up the discomfort. This provides them with a long-term solution toward balancing their spine’s vertebrae and improving the pain continuously. 

Auto Accidents

Auto accidents can be stressful, from dealing with insurance to taking your car to the mechanic to possibly missing work, and pain can often take a back seat to everything you have to deal with. However, seeking medical attention should always be a priority after an accident.

Auto accidents shake bodies up, and it is very likely that misalignment, subluxation or injury resulted from yours. When your body is jerked forward and backward quickly, whiplash, misalignment of the spine and tears to ligaments can occur, and if they are left untreated, these injuries can turn into chronic pain or lead to a worse injury down the line. Even if you feel minor pain after an accident, you should see a chiropractor, and here at Summit Chiropractic and Longevity Center, Dr. Kent Carlomagno can restore your health and help you work your way back toward normalcy.

In addition to pain, the misalignment of your spine could also lead to loss of mobility, especially if you’re older. Chiropractic can increase your mobility, reduce your pain and decrease the chance of injuring yourself worse in the future. By correcting your alignment and treating the root cause of your injuries, your body’s overall health can be restored.

Car accidents are never planned and can be a major disruption in your life, but if you come to our office in San Rafael, CA, we can help you regain your health and get back on the path toward normal. Call (415) 721-7520 to schedule an appointment. For more information, visit www.summitchiro.net.
