Treatment for Neck Pain
Non-surgical treatment for Neck Pain
Primary reason for neck pain is musculoskeletal imbalances. Hip misalignment compromises the spinal alignment causing the head to move forward consequently building tremendous stress in the cervical spine causing disc herniation and stenosis. Thus it makes sense to treat the hip misalignment which is the causes of the neck pain rather than the symptom.
