The structure of the neck

The neck consists of 7 cervical vertebrae with associated discs between each vertebra. There are many small muscles and ligaments in the neck which move the head with great precision and give the brain feedback about the position of the head. If there is an imbalance in these muscles, the pain can be local or affect the shoulders, arms and head. 

We treat all problems related to the neck.

Crick in the neck

An acute hold in the neck can come after a specific movement or for no immediate reason. This is typically due to a "locking" in the small joints between the vertebrae. It is treated without kinks or twists and you can typically notice an improvement soon after.

Tension headache

The muscles in the neck can easily tense up when working in the same position, e.g. in front of a PC. The treatment is simple and most people experience improvement of the headache after a few treatments.

Migrain

Migraines can occur from many different causes and it is complex to treat it - but not impossible. Many people experience various triggers for a migraine, but the cause is in the nervous system, which is overstimulated and the brain responds with migraines.

Concussion

A concussion can be a violent experience and many experience different symptoms. Some become sensitive to light and sound, while others become dizzy or have reduced mobility in the neck.
In the clinic, the technique, P-DTR, is used which effectively treats the cause and late effects of the concussion. In this example from the clinic, a client experienced immediate improvement in neck range of motion when an imbalance related to a concussion was removed. 

Whiplash

A whiplash occurs when the head rapidly accelerates back and forth, typically in connection with a collision with a car. In connection with whiplash, there may be headaches, sensitivity to light and sound, pain in the shoulder and neck region. A neck that has experienced whiplash will be extra sensitive to violent or sudden movement, which is why the gentle treatment with the P-DTR technique is a pleasant form of treatment.

Osteoarthritis

In the small joints between the vertebrae, the cartilage in the joint can become worn, so that the bones move against each other. This typically causes pain and the recommendation is to strengthen the surrounding muscles. Our experience is that the joints typically wear unevenly on one side compared to the other, due to a muscular imbalance around the joint. This imbalance and the uneven load on the joint will persist until the cause is found. We muscle test and restore muscular balance around the joint using the technique, P-DTR.

Herniated disc

In between each vertebra there is a disc, which consists of a soft core surrounded by a hard shell. A protrusion is a bulge on the hard shell and a herniated disc is when the hard shell breaks and the soft core comes out into the spinal canal. Both a protusion and a herniation can easily affect the nerves as space is minimal.

Seek medical advice

If you experience heaviness or radiating pain in the arm / arms or have difficulty holding urine or faeces, seek medical attention.
