Compare Chiropractors in Orange CA to Find the Right Chiropractor for You

First, look at the doctor's experience. How long have they been in practice? A seasoned chiropractor will have seen many cases and know what works to relieve pain quickly. It goes without saying, you don't want a doctor learning on you! It can take a doctor of chiropractic several years to fully develop their skills.

Next, look at their training. What type of additional training does the doctor have? Are they certified in any particular fields? A chiropractor specializing in pregnancy and women's health may not be the best fit for a man who was recently in a car accident. Specialized training means the doctor will be an expert in the field which is helpful to you.

Also, look at their online reputation. Do they have good reviews? Are they believable? Don't focus entirely on the number of reviews (we all know reviews can be bought online). Look at the types of reviews and what the patients say. Again, are they talking about the same types of medical issues you have? It would be helpful to know the doctor has helped others with your same condition.

Lastly, look at location and hours. Is the chiropractic office located conveniently to your home or work? Are the hours workable? Can you get treated without missing work? Can you visit them on your lunch hour? After all, these are all practical considerations when looking for chiropractors in Orange CA or anywhere.

Finally, do they provide an introductory offer? Certainly, an offer to try them out is a good idea. You don't really know a doctor until you've actually tried them. A discounted or introductory offer is therefore a nice way to acquaint yourself.

Chiropractor Orange CA Straight Neck Treatment

Posted on by Barry Marks DC

Chiropractor Orange CA Straight Neck Treatment

Straight Neck Treatment explained by Orange CA Chiropractor Dr Barry Marks car accident chiropractor who provides chiropractic pain relief treatment and corrective care

Straight Neck Syndrome, Hypolordosis, Military Neck, Cervical Reversal - Kyphosis

Your neck is supposed to have a curve to it when you view it from the side. This is called a cervical (neck) lordosis (inward curve). Basically, it's a backwards "C" shape with the hollow part in the back of your neck and the outward curve facing towards your chin. Your neck may straighten or lose curvature causing "straight neck syndrome."

Causes of Straight Neck

Research indicates that of all the cases of people with a significantly straightened (hypolordotic) neck, only about 11% are NOT due to trauma. So the majority of cases of straight neck comes from trauma, chief among them are car accidents. Other trauma like a blow to the body from behind (football, soccer, etc), slips and falls, diving into shallow water and hitting ground, etc. may be the culprit. In the 11% not due to known trauma, the lack of neck curve may be related to birthing trauma, extreme poor posture, subluxation (misalignment) left untreated, poor sleep hygiene (stomach sleeping).

Straight Neck Syndrome Symptoms

The most common symptoms associated with a straight neck are:

Consequences of Untreated Straight Neck

If your neck remains straightened, the improper positioning causes stress on the bones of the neck (vertebrae) which changes their electrical properties and attracts bone growth (spurs) at sites of stress where ligaments attach. You will see this as bone spurs usually in front of the neck. As this continues the increased stress will cause the intervertebral disc to wear out and lose height. This in turn causes more stress and more bone spurring. The spine becomes fused after many years.

The end result is a painful and stiff neck that is easily irritated by activity and may begin to alter nerve flow from your neck.

Straight Neck Treatment

Luckily, there are treatments available to repair and correct a straightened neck and prevent the deterioration. The problem is that your medical doctor, physiotherapist and even many chiropractors have no idea how to change a neck curve. Only about 10% of chiropractors actively work at correcting spinal curvatures.

The first step is to loosen the neck joints up. The neck cannot be made to curve if you have muscle spasm or tightness or if the individual spinal joints are all locked up.  The spine is loosened up with chiropractic adjustments and stretches during this step . Therapy modalities like heat and electrical stimulation may also be used to reduce muscle tension.

The next step is the actual "molding" of the neck. Did you ever have braces to straighten your teeth? The concept is the same: pressure over time causes the tissues to change and maintain a different shape. unfortunately we cannot put your neck in a brace and hold it there to re-model it. Instead, we apply pressure to the neck with specific exercises, traction and adjustments to slowly direct the spine to the proper position. You will do most of the work at home with exercises. You will also visit the office for periodic adjustments.

It can anywhere from 3-12 months to achieve significant curvature gains, but it does happen and will happen as long as you follow the program established for you.

Is There a Straight Neck Pillow That Can Fix My Neck?

Sorry, no. There is no pillow available that can correct your neck, BUT there are several pillows that can aggravate and promote a straight neck! If your pillow is too big and you lie on it on your back it will stretch your neck up and reduce your curve. Also sleeping on your stomach can put stress on the neck and promote misalignment. It's natural for you to move all around while you sleep. It's the body's way of making sure you don't stay in one position too long and get stiff and sore.  I recommend a pillow that is properly fitted for side sleeping because most people spend more of their sleeping time on their sides. When you do roll to your back, it will not be very comfortable and you will naturally roll over to your side.

By properly sizing your pillow for side sleeping, you will not improve your neck curve, but you will not be aggravating it either. Watch the video where I explain "the pillow trick."

A straight neck or straight neck syndrome symptoms are associated with a neck that has lost it's proper curve. This can happen due to trauma or other postural stresses. Left untreated, it can lead to degeneration of your spine. Straight neck treatment is available than can effectively correct and repair your neck and prevent permanent damage.
