Without the proper chiropractic assistant training, your chiropractic technician can be a real pain in the neck. They won’t prescribe to your chiropractic philosophy and you’ll be left with the headache.
Neck pain can be caused by poor posture or a trauma such as an automobile accident. When neck pain persists or recurs it is important to improve the fitness of your neck. Stress and emotional tension will intensify the symptoms associated with neck pain. One of the most consistent findings in neck pain and headache sufferers is a reduction in endurance of the deep muscles of the front of the neck. Poor posture such as with your chin jutting out is an example of weakness of these deep muscles combined with increased tension in the superficial neck musculature.
It is always a good idea to see a doctor who is trained in providing care for musculoskeletal disorders such as a chiropractor, physical therapist, or orthopedist. Most patients do not require surgery and can be helped by a conservative care program. A recent study showed that chronic neck pain patients benefit more from a combination of simple exercises and spinal manipulation from a chiropractor than from either exercise or manipulation alone.
Even your neck muscles need to be stretched and strengthened. Here are some exercises to combat stiffness and prevent problems in the future. Do each five times twice a day. Do the first three exercises for two weeks before starting the rest.

Most acute episodes of neck pain tend to begin improving within a month of their onset. However, in certain instances, the neck pain persists and becomes chronic. It is always best to seek a doctor’s advice early on when your neck hurts to learn what is causing the pain and what can be done about it so that you can enhance your chances of recovery. Save yourself the trouble and get some chiropractic coaching and employee training. |
