Your neck is a delicate balance of muscles, ligaments, nerves and vertebrae. Your neck, or cervical spine, consists of 7 vertebrae separated by cushiony discs at the top of your spine. Each day, your neck is subjected to all sorts of forces that can upset this delicate balance, leaving it vulnerable to injury and degeneration.

If any of your neck’s vertebrae get out of alignment, that can mean pain and malfunction. If not taken care of properly, these misalignments (or vertebral subluxation) can lead to other problems down the road.

It’s A Serious Problem!

Your neck performs a delicate balancing act every day. Do you realize that just by holding up your head, your neck balances the equivalent of a 10-pound ball on the end of a stick!

Besides your neck balancing your heavy head, it also houses vital blood vessels and nerves, along with the thyroid glands, the larynx, the esophagus, the trachea, the brainstem, the spinal cord and the spinal column!

Any neck injury must be taken seriously and closely evaluated. Even “minor” injuries can cause “major” problems when it comes to your neck.

How Can We Help You?

We take an active approach toward ending your neck pain. Rather than giving you pain relievers to treat your symptoms (or cover them up), we can find and correct the cause of your pain.

At the Ventura Spinal Care Center, we specialize in removing subluxations in the neck using the Pro-Adjuster instrument-directed spinal adjustments….no forceful twisting, popping or cracking. These adjustments to the neck restore function, which in turn may eliminate your pain.

These adjustments can restore the proper function to the vertebrae, muscles, and ligaments and restore normal range of motion to your neck. With these gently chiropractic adjustments, we can eliminate interference from subluxations and degeneration along your spine, and restore proper nerve flow.

Scientifically Proven Relief

Studies have shown that chiropractic is safe and effective for your neck pain. One study, funded by the National Chiropractic Mutual Insurance Company, found that chiropractic is a safer approach to neck pain than prescribing pain-killing medication, which can have dangerous side effects.

Another study, published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological therapeutics in 1995, found chiropractic to be more effective than using acetaminophen (aspirin or Tylenol).

If in doubt, read the words of patients who have come to our clinic for a non-drug, non-surgical solution to their neck pain:

“When I first came to the Ventura Spinal Care Center” I was suffering with severe pain in my neck. It was difficult to turn my head or get any sleep at night. But since receiving treatment from Dr. Alff, I am now able to turn my head and get the sleep I need! I have more energy now and I am walking 4 miles a day. The care I received has been incredible”

Patricia Peterson, Oxnard

“When I first began care I had severe neck and head pain. My neck was always stiff. The stiffness lasted for years, but the pain was incredible severe in the four to five months before I started treatment. The pain was so bad that my arms would fall asleep. It got to the point where I was taking heavy-duty painkillers in order to ease the pain. Since receiving care from Dr. Alff, I have experienced unbelievable relief from my neck pain…what a relief!

Asuncio Pardo, Santa Paula

“I decided to give Dr. Alff a call to see if he could help me with my pain in the neck. I would constantly find myself rubbing it in a vain effort to ease the pain. I had tried other Chriopractors before and even massage, but the pain always returned. Since seeing Dr. Alff, I have had consistent relief from my sore neck. In addition, I have more energy/vitality and an all over feeling of well being!

Susanne Sweet, Ventura

“I was experiencing pain in my left shoulder and neck, and was having headaches. I began taking pain relievers but realized they would only be a temporary “fix”. I was skeptical of chiropractic not understanding about how it worked and was somewhat apprehensive about getting my bones “cracked”. A friend recommended Dr. Alff because he doesn’t do adjustments that involved getting my bones “cracked”. Today, I feel more energy and my pain is gone! I can move my head more easily from side to side. I’m glad I took the risk…it’s been a great investment.”

Suzanne Freddie, Ojai

“I came to Dr. Alff for treatment of a stiff neck. After several treatments, I discovered that the stiffness in my neck is fone. Now I can enjoy a good night’s rest without the pain keeping me awake throughout the night.

Al Pineda, Santa Paula

“Prior to seeing Dr. Alff, I had been experiencing constant neck pain that had lasted for nearly five whole years, most of which was from playing volleyball…diving into the sand incorrectly. Chiropractic has helped so much! I sleep well at nights now and don’t have the constant pain during the daytime that I used to have. I have to thank Dr. Alff for now allowing me to suffer any longer. Thank you!

Gail Lindley, Ventura

“The back of my neck had been bothering me for 6 months or more. I do computer work and my neck would be bothering me by the middle of the day. Since receiving care from Dr. Alff, I noticed my neck pain wasn’t bothering me anymore…just want to say thanks for your help.”

Veneeta McNamara, Ventura

“I was unable to move my head from side to side, had tingling in my fingers, headaches, dizziness, fainting, and extreme pain in my eck. Fortunately for me a friend of mine realized that the physical therapy was not working for me and suggested that I see Dr. Alff even though I had my doubts about chiropractic at that time. Dr. Alff and his staff went out of their way to help me. After the first three or four visits, I felt so much better and slowly I was fine. Every treatment has made a different and I would highly recommend Dr. Alff and Chiropractic to everyone.”

Karen Parker, Ventura

“I had been suffering with a stiff neck and headaches for a long time. I was taking aspiring approximately twice a day for the pain. I came to see Dr. Alff because my husband was happy with his care. I really didn’t expect it to relieve my headaches along with my neck problem but the results are good! I recommend Chiropractic care to every if you are suffering and in pain. Even if you have no pain, get a hold of it before it gets you down!
