back Pain
The muscular and nerve systems that run throughout your back can have a significant influence on the rest of the body. Your central nervous system and core abdominal muscles are located in the back, so any misalignments or injuries can cause you to become immobilized and can lead to chronic degenerative diseases if left untreated.

What Causes a headache?
Headaches and migraines can be caused by a wide range of circumstances. Some of the more common and easily identifiable causes include:
- Stress
- Tension and high blood pressure
- Bad posture
- Eyesight strain
- Dehydration
- The side effect of painkillers
That being said, intense headaches and migraines that occur suddenly and with high intensity could be a warning sign of a serious underlying condition. If you don’t normally experience headaches and have not put your body through any notable stress, you should schedule a consultation.
Spinal Conditions
There is an extensive list of conditions that can affect your spine, nerves, and muscles in your back. The conditions explored below are some of the most common and broad examples that affect most patients. The key underlying connection is poor spinal health and degenerating structural integrity that is causing advanced wear and tear, herniating discs, pinched nerves, and damaged cartilage among others.
The team at Donay Chiropractic Life and Wellness Clinic utilizes a variety of methods to manage, mitigate, and reverse the effects of these conditions. Techniques such as general chiropractic, nonsurgical spinal decompression therapy, traction therapy, and many others. If you are experiencing any discomfort in your back, schedule a consultation! |
Neck pain and Whiplash
If you are suffering from chronic or acute neck pain, chiropractic therapy can help relieve your pain while also correcting the underlying issue. It can be challenging to determine the source of your pain as the neck area is heavily interconnected with the shoulder and upper back muscles. The cause of your neck pain could be physical trauma from an accident or impact or it could develop over time due to a musculoskeletal imbalance or improper posture. As your posture weakens, unnatural wear and tear starts to occur and you experience pain.
The team of professionals at Donay Chiropractic Life and Wellness Center has received extensive training in whiplash management and treatment, from post-graduate studies and ongoing research into best practices. Whiplash usually occurs after sudden and jarring impacts like car accidents or high-impact sports. |
Causes of Neck Pain
Many conditions can affect the health and function of the neck area. They can range from musculoskeletal to age-related degeneration. It is important to have a professional assess your condition before you attempt therapy methods. Allowing damage or an injury to go untreated could result in lasting consequences. Other causes of neck pain are as follows:
- Pulled/Strained muscle: bad posture, sudden jolting movements, or repetition of the same motion can cause a strain.
- Joints damage: Neck joints tend to wear down with age. Osteoarthritis causes the cartilage between your vertebrae to deteriorate, resulting in bone spurs that affect joint motion and cause pain.
- Pinched nerves: Herniated disks in the vertebrae put pressure on the nerves surrounding the spinal cord.
- Traumatic injuries: Car accidents often result in a whiplash injury, which occurs when there is a sudden, powerful impact that strains the muscles in the neck.
- Degenerative diseases: Diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis can cause neck pain.
Whiplash
If you have been in an accident, regardless of how minor it may seem, you should always consult with a chiropractic specialist to determine the extent of your injury. Whiplash is known to develop hours or sometimes days after an accident. Whiplash differs from standard neck pain because it is not chronic or degenerative, and its symptoms can appear rather aggressively, leaving your neck very stiff, sore, and in severe cases, completely immobile. Physical symptoms include:

Whiplash is accompanied by nonphysical symptoms as well, which include:
