What is chiropractic manipulation or adjustment of the neck?
The process of chiropractic adjustment, specifically targeting the neck region, involves a certified and proficient chiropractor using manual techniques to manipulate the cervical vertebrae. In addition to chiropractors, other healthcare professionals such as osteopathic doctors and physical therapists might also employ this therapeutic approach.
What are the causes of neck pain?
Neck discomfort can arise from numerous sources, some of which might include:
- Sustaining whiplash in car collisions
- Muscle strain induced discomfort
- A disc bulge or herniation
- Spine degenerative conditions such as spondylosis
- The onset of arthritis
- Poorly maintained posture
- Unfavorable sleeping positions
- Prolonged hours spent on computer tasks

I had the best first time experience going to a chiropractor in a Covid safe environment. Everyone is welcoming, professional and knowledgeable. Dr. Ian was great! He really can crack your back. ? I walked in tense, stiff, sore, and not knowing how to move my body. They taught me how to overcome all of that. Most of the exercises I do with my 5th grade students at work. Communication with Kaizo staff has been super easy with their text system. I get a reminder. If I can’t make it I just text make and they told me my options. I’ll be back for regular maintenance. Thanks!

Had such a great experience at Kaizo! Dr. Schapiro and Gilmore were very kind, and the CA’s take the best care of you as well. This was my first time at a PT/Chiro practice and they made it incredibly comfortable. Appreciate it, Kaizo!
