Your neck is an essential pathway in your body's communication system, allowing for the transmission of all sensory and motor information between the brain and the rest of the body. Injuries to the neck, what health professionals call the cervical spine, can have wide-ranging impacts on your health. Around 70% of people experience some kind of neck pain in their lives, and along with back pain, it is the leading condition treated by chiropractors. Chiropractic has been shown to increase the range of motion in the neck, and to be effective in treating neck pain related to whiplash, among many short- and long-term benefits.
