Ringing in the ears?
Stiff neck?
Imbalanced brain equilibrium function?
Poor motor function?
Worrisome neck surgery recommendation?

Cervical spine manipulation is beneficial for relief of tinnitus to improved brain function! The research documentation keeps growing about the benefits of cervical spine manipulation. And Johnson Chiropractic is well-trained to provide safe, gentle, controlled chiropractic spinal manipulation to the neck for our Richmond patients’ good!

1 - Ringing in the ears (aka tinnitus) affects nearly 1% of all Americans. 30 to 50 million Americans report issues with ringing in the ears. A case report of a patient who reports tinnitus in both ears, headaches, blurred vision, restricted temporomandibular joint (TMJ) movements, and neck tightness was treated for 2.5 months and 10 treatments. His tinnitus totally resolved. His neck stiffness improved as did his TMJ restrictions. Normal neck motions also improved. (1) Johnson Chiropractic treats many Richmond neck patients with concerns like these and know we can help you!

2 - Spinal manipulation of the neck improves brain equilibrium function and motor function in patients with neck pain. Ever feel out of balance sometimes? Combined with a motor sequence learning task, cervical spine manipulation restored these neck pain patients to the cerebellar function of healthy people. (2)  Johnson Chiropractic knows we have neck pain patients who appreciate such outcomes!

3 – Neck surgery a consideration? See Johnson Chiropractic before surgery and even after neck surgery. Patients with herniated discs in the neck with radiculopathy (arm pain, numbness, tingling) want to consider treatment before surgery. If surgery is chosen, research shows that getting treatment after surgery produces significantly greater improvement in neck pain. (3) Consult Johnson Chiropractic before and/or after Richmond neck surgery.

4 - As Johnson Chiropractic proudly offers Cox Technic as the preferred form of spinal manipulation in this chiropractic practice, the federally funded biomechanics study of its effect on the disc pressures in the neck shows that it reduces intradiscal pressures! (4) Since increased pressure causes neck pain and even arm pain, this reduction is most important. Richmond chiropractic care in the form of Cox Technic at Johnson Chiropractic is effective.

So contact Johnson Chiropractic if you have a stiff neck or neck pain or arm pain or any of these neck-related conditions. Relief may be a phone call away!
