Re: Forward neck curve, very minor sublaxation correction

Jarrad:

It's important to know your age and the duration of the symptoms you have. What is your life style occupation etc.

In actuality, a reverse curve is easier to correct than a anterior curve (forward)

If you do neck exercises for extension, bending your neck backwards, this only adds to the forward curve. Flexing your neck as much as you can and holding for a count of "Ten" several times a day will help.

I normally take in consideration the degree of anterior curve, the age of the patient, sleeping posture, occupation etc. Nothing is concrete or exact as to how a patient will respond with X number of treatments.

I would see my patient's daily for the first week, 3 times a week for 8 weeks, 2 times a week for 4 weeks, 1 time a week for 4 weeks.

Chiropractic is the best alternative care for spinal problems but it is not cheap and also, it's time consuming.

Good luck,
