One cause of neck pain is whiplash--a common occurrence for over 20 million people in the United States. It is the cause of spinal column misalignment and irritation, stretching or impingement to the nerves and spinal cord. However, some of the other causes of neck problems are poor posture, work habits and even birth trauma.

Neck problems and whiplash can cause many symptoms, including:


  • Headaches
  • Numbness
  • Coldness
  • "Pins-and-needles" in the face, chest, arms, wrists or hands
  • Anxiety
  • Insomnia
  • Low back and neck pain
  • Ear ringing
  • Dizziness
  • Hearing loss
  • Eye pain
  • Blurred vision
  • Sensitivity to light

Of course, in an accident, the first order of business is to attend to any life-threatening problem—for example, fracture, hemorrhage, shock and severe concussion. After that, make sure the spine is attended to by a chiropractor for neck pain.

Part IV: Intensive Spinal Correction: Level 1 of the 4 Levels of Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic adjustment helps relieve chronic ill health!


We have been discussing over the past few weeks the basic levels of chiropractic care. For each level we have described how the majority of patients generally relate to chiropractic adjustment and other treatments. How a patient responds to chiropractic adjustment is determined on their individual history, health status, and age, together with their inherited family tendencies. The goal of the chiropractic adjustment is for each patient to achieve their highest level of health possible.

McKim Chiropractic Clinic Boise ID is a health care profession treat with Chiropractic Adjustment Boise ID on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system.

Level 1: Intensive Spinal Correction – The most acute level of need for chiropractic care and may take a longer period of time to achieve your optimum level of health:

  • Chronic (long-standing) or acute (recent) subluxations have damaged your vertebrae, joints, nerves, discs, muscles, meninges, tendons and ligaments.
  • Your spine is weak and unstable and a chiropractic adjustment holds only briefly and incompletely.
  • You may have advanced spinal degeneration.
  • Height loss, stiffness, tightness, tension and constant physical or emotional pain is common at this level, as is dullness and premature aging.
  • Your posture is off-center and your spine is unbalanced.
  • Your energy is low, your breath is shallow, and you find it harder to adapt to life's stresses.
  • You have less sensitivity to your physical and psychological needs.
  • Your body struggles to heal from other illnesses.

What is the benefit of continuing with Chiropractic Care?


Initially, you will need the relief of a chiropractic adjustment fairly frequently, every time you come in for a spinal checkup. The scar tissue (fibrosis) around your joints and nerves, and the stress damage of your ligaments, tendons and muscles due to years of chronic subluxations, makes it difficult for your spine to hold its chiropractic adjustment.
