Many people resort to drug therapy for neck and low back pain and it is important to remember that pain medications (and muscle relaxants) will not change the joint mechanics and correct the underlying mechanical fault(s) that led to injury.

Acute injuries many times lead to chronic injuries if left untreated, even if the pain subsides.

This is because degenerative changes take months or even years to do their damage.

Chiropractic care is a viable option for many different conditions.

Chiropractors treat most all neck and low back conditions, such as facet imbrication (jamming), disc bulges, disc herniations, post-surgical pain reduction and rehabilitation, whiplash trauma (cervical acceleration/deceleration disorder), muscle strains and ligament sprains, muscle imbalances, loss of cervical lordosis, poor posture, spondylolisthesis, and most everything else.

Dr. Hyunsuk Oh believes in not only treating the condition to get the patient out of pain and to improve function, but also to follow that with core stabilization/rehabilitative exercises so that the patient can be more dependent on him/herself.

The doctor will also touch on the inflammatory potential of the body, should the need arise.

How we react internally affects how we feel on the outside.
