Can a chiropractor break your neck?
If mishandled, anyone can break your neck.... A chiropractor has several years of training before they are even licensed.

Some may be more aggressive than others, but the bottom line is your neck is in good hands. A chiropractor will not break your neck.

Tinnitus and chiropractic care? Really?
In order to understand how chiropractic can help you have to understand what happens during a whiplash injury. First the head and neck go in one direction and suddenly stop and then snaps in the other direction. This shaking can rip or tear ligament. It can shift or damage bone alignment. It can also negatively impact nerve impulses in the area. This trauma can cause all sorts of symptoms ranging from: concussion, head-aches, neck stiffness, sharp or shooting pains into the arms, numbness or tingling, and and even tinnitus. Chiropractic care can help to stabilize the neck by realigning the bones in the right position. This may help to balance irregular nerve impulses which may be creating the tinnitus. READ MORE
