neck pain

How heavy is your head?

 

Whiplash Injuries

Whiplash is commonly caused by rear-end car crashes. But whiplash also can result from sports accidents, physical abuse and other types of traumas, such as a fall.

Occupational Overuse

Poor ergonomic design can make the effects of repetitive motion worse, contributing to the development of musculoskeletal disorders.

So called "Wear & Tear"

If the neck ligaments do not support the joints of the neck over time it will develops arthritis, spondylosis and disc injury.

Better Options, Better Care

Very few clinics in the world specialize in regenerative treatments for painful neck conditions and cervical spine instability: The Centre for Bioregulatory Medicine is one of them! These cases are among those that we are the most passionate about, in part, because the transformations we see in our patients are often nothing short of awesome! Conditions such as post-whiplash, post-concussion, and radiculopathy can devastate a person’s ability to work and function normally. However, they typically respond beautifully to just a few Prolotherapy treatments. We work with patients to carefully detail the extent of the instability  and determine which Prolotherapy solutions, as well as other cervical stabilizing and realignment techniques, will offer the best chance at permanently alleviating pain and other symptoms. Whether you have recently been in an car accident and experiencing symptoms or have struggled with neck pain for years and want to find a more curative treatment and avoid cervical fusion surgery, we can help!
