ADIO Family Chiropractic is a family wellness center in St. Charles, Mo. The spinal column does a lot of work for the body. It is the basic structure that supports the entire body. As we bend, stretch, twist, flex, lift, walk, run and work, our spine continues to support us. It carries a lot of weight and has worked hard to maintain our balance. With the daily grind and stress placed on the bones, muscles and ligaments, it’s not a surprise that back and neck injuries are so common.

Problems in the upper spine or neck can affect the entire body. Neck pain can range from mild and distracting to acute and debilitating. The stress of the body can impact the muscles and ligaments that support the head and neck region. Nerve compression is a common affliction that causes neck pain. When the nerves along the spinal column are irritated, headaches and migraines can result.
“We originally came with complaints of neck, back, and leg pains. Now we come to stay well. On occasion Dr. Dave will find some subluxations and correct them. We appreciate and are grateful for Dr. Dave’s concern and ability to help us stay well to enjoy life every day.” Amy – St. Peters
Whiplash is a common neck injury experienced after a car accident. It occurs when the head is suddenly and forcefully thrust backward and forward. Injury can also occur in high-contact sports or just being pushed or shoved.
How Can a Chiropractor Help?
Chiropractic adjustments will reduce your neck pain by restoring your neck and back’s natural alignment. Chiropractors most commonly use adjustments to return joints, ligaments and soft tissues throughout the back to their rightful positions. This realignment takes the pressure off the discs and nerves that may have been a source of pain. We also educate our patients on how to maintain proper posture and good ergonomics that help minimize future injuries.
