Neck Pain
Neck Pain in Helena is the second most common thing we see at our office. The most common, however, are Migraines and Headaches. Why? Because we see positive results fast! Most people with neck pain in Helena that we take care of, are also experiencing either neck pain or headaches and migraines. However, about 50% of the people we care for are experiencing both at the same time.
Looking at your neck from a side view you should have a nice curve going forward in to your neck. The curve in your neck absorbs and reduces stress from your mid and low back. If the normal curve of the neck is straight or reversed, this will cause discomfort lower down. During the process of alignment the pressure will be taken off of your brain stem and this will allow your body to heal.
For the neck, we specialize in the Blair method of chiropractic. We are experts at helping to relieve neck pain. Dr. Holly and Dr. Brandon have worked alongside Dr. Hubbard for several years.
Learning from Dr. Hubbard
Dr. Hubbard teaches the Blair Upper Cervical work at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. During Todd Hubbard’s senior year of high school in Missoula, MT, Todd became a chiropractic patient of Dr. Scott Matz (Dr. Holly’s dad). After significant migraine relief under the Blair Upper Cervical method, Todd attended and graduated from Palmer College of Chiropracitc. However, he is still a Missoula native and a huge Montana Grizzly fan. Go Grizz! He spent several years in private practice, but decided that teaching and doing research at Palmer was where his heart was.
Blair Care for neck pain Helena
When Dr. Scott’s daughter Dr. Holly and his son in law Dr. Brandon went to Palmer College of Chiropractic in 2010 Dr. Hubbard was their teacher for three years in the Blair Method. Dr. Hubbard has been a part of numerous studies for the Blair Method of Chiropractic. Dr. Holly and Dr. Brandon have taken the advanced work many times and are very proficient with the Blair method. They were able to learn from the best in the profession!
If you have neck pain we will do an analysis to check the position of your top neck bone, we will also analysis the lateral curve in your neck. We will primarily use the Blair method for the neck. If a curve is non-existent, we will use Chiropractic BioPhysics to help restore the curve in your neck. Along with adjustments and specific traction we will sometimes isolate muscle groups for you to strengthen at home.
Home rehabilitation
The more you do at home, the faster you will get better; and we will not need to see you as often. Therefore, home care is something we emphasize. Our goal is to return your neck to an ideal position. We will isolate and give you specific muscle groups in your neck to work on at home during the recovery part of care.
Custom made neck adjustment
Our neck adjustments are unique and do not involve twisting, popping, nor cracking. We analyze your spine and find the angles of the joint plane line that each segment in your spine has. We use these measurements to custom make an adjustment for you. Dr. Brandon and Dr. Holly use protractors and a table that drops about 2 inches. You will hardly notice the adjustment. However, most people will notice a huge change once they are back in alignment. To visualize what an adjustment looks like, visit our home page, and watch the video (about mid video) where Dr. Brandon adjusts the neck of a patient who is lying on his side. It is very gentle and extremely effective.
