Part of our patient analysis when there are neck issues is determining whether cervical joints, thoracic joints, AND the shoulder blade have proper movement. Misalignment or lack of proper movement in any of the three will eventually lead to neck problems. Sea article below:

"Scapular Dyskinesis May Contribute to Neck Pain"

Among a group of 83 office workers with chronic neck pain, researchers observed that scapular dyskinesis—abnormal positioning or movement of the shoulder blade—was associated with greater neck disability. The findings suggest that altered shoulder mechanics may contribute to neck pain and functional limitation.

We call this piece of equipment "The Beast" at Performance Chiropractic. It has been with us for almost a decade and it's the perfect piece across the spectrum....from rehabbing our injured patients to training our most advanced athletes! Thank you Beast!

Our approach at Performance Chiropractic is comprehensive. We start with "passive therapies" to first achieve a reduction of pain and an improvement of range of motion.

Once so, the patient is ready for "active" care, where we now use the Beast (along with other equipment of course) to progress our patient through rehab and proper training.

If you have an unresolved issue give us a try. (661) 942-5000.
