Stiffness, and Loss of Head and Neck Mobility:  Is it becoming more difficult to look behind you when parallel parking or watch birds fly across the sky?  Decreased range of motion of the neck and head limits our full participation in life’s activities.  This is usually always due to the non fluid cooperation of the muscles and vertebrae in the neck and can be compromised further by arthritis, thin discs and over protective muscle tone.  Moist heat and massage are common methods of treatment, but do not correct the underlying cause.  The muscles that provide for smoothly moving the head in all directions attach to the neck bones, head and upper back.  If the normal alignment of these structures in their relationship to one another has deteriorated, movement will be limited.   Restoring the head and neck’s normal form and function as close to biomechanical norms as possible through advanced chiropractic care, decreases stiffness and improves the head and neck’s mobility.  There’s no overnight cure, but over time, and with a carefully thought out and personalized plan, one can restore all or part of the neck’s normal alignment.
