muscles, tendons and ligaments on an x-ray.
The Chiropractor, however, is trained to recognize signs of mechanical
problems which the medical doctor is not. Look at the seven cervical bones in this neck. See how they are in a straight line? This isn't good. There should be a curve there, not a straight line. This is an important clue as to the cause
of this persons' headache and stiff neck.
There are many causes for neck pain and you don't always have to have
an x-ray to figure out the reason for your pain. Your Chiropractor is
trained to find the reason and cure it not just cover up with pain killers.
