These are all problems that can be associated with misalignments of the neck (cervical) vertebra as well as issues with the TMJ (Jaw joint). Misalignments of the neck, also called subluxations, affect the nerves that come from the brain between these vertebra, and to go (innervate) the arms as well as the head and the face. Pressure on these nerves from the misaligned vertebra can cause pain, tingling or numbness down the arms all the way to the fingers in severe cases. Sinus issues, mild to severe headaches and dizziness can also be caused by neck problems. If part or all of the vertebral joint is not moving correctly, then nutrients may not be able to get into the joint surfaces allowing wastes to build up which leads to destructive osteoarthritis.

Treatment We Offer

Chiropractic – our doctors can specifically re-align the vertebra of the neck to treat the cause of neck pain, headaches, sinus pressure and dizziness. Sometimes muscle work on the surrounding muscles can add to a more permanent correction of the problem. Traction may also be used to relieve tension and take pressure off affected nerves.
