Treatment
Neck
adjustment
is a precise procedure, applied by hand, to the joints of the
neck. It works to improve joint mobility in the neck
restoring range of motion and reducing muscle spasm, thereby
relieving pressure and tension. Patients typically
immediately notice a reduction of pain, soreness, stiffness and
improved mobility. Dr. Hume also uses
ergonomic
correction and
exercises
to produce lasting relief and she may use
ultrasound
in acute
cases.
