Can chiropractors in Salt Lake City help with your neck pain?

If you have neck pain, and you are in the Salt Lake City area, where do you turn for relief?

You have several different options to help you with your neck pain:

1. Do nothing. Doing nothing is "hoping" that things will get better. After a while of doing nothing, your neck pain might decrease, but your biomechanical dysfunction will remain. This is not recommended. 
2. Taking pain killers for your neck pain. This is faster relief than just "doing nothing", but the same principle remains. If you do nothing to support good biomechanics of your neck, you still run into the potential of accelerated arthritis in the joints of the neck. This is not recommended. 
3. Cervical Collar. This use to be a way for people who injured their necks to keep the neck from moving further. Ask any Salt Lake City chiropractor, this is a technique for pain relief that has no place for our modern understanding of the healing process. Again, this is not recommended. 
4. Chiropractic care: If you have neck pain, we recommend chiropractic care in Salt Lake City. Any place, for that matter... Chiropractic care will help you restore the normal biomechanics of your neck, allowing you to move better with normal range of motion.

Check out the published studies on chiropractic for neck pain. Even the American Physical Therapy Association guidelines recommend spinal manipulation for neck pain. 

And of course, if you are looking for a chiropractor in Salt Lake City, look no further than our clinics at The Joint.

Foot and ankle adjustments for athletic performance

Today Dr. Smith from The Joint in Sugar House and Dr. Lloyd from Cottonwood Heights presented chiropractic care for foot and ankle biomechanics to the Westminster College track team.

Chiropractic care is a very important part of a training regimen for any serious athlete. With chiropractic care, an athlete enjoys three main benefits:

1. You perform with more symmetry from one side to the next under chiropractic care. 
2. You have less drag when you perform at your sport. 
3. Your body enjoys better proprioception under chiropractic care.

With a chiropractic adjustment of the feet and ankles, you enjoy an immediate sense of better range of motion. This palpable feeling of having the joints better lubricated makes you appreciate the increased feedback that you feel when the nerve signals from your feet are sending information back to the brain. You feel more sure of where you plant your feet. You take each step with confidence.

This form of chiropractic care can be found in our two The Joint clinic locations. Ours is in Cottonwood Heights, just off of the 2000 East exit on the I215 freeway. The other clinic is in the heart of Sugar House, and is perhaps the most popular chiropractic clinic in Salt Lake City.
