The patient has been using PC for long hours on work, and feeling tightness on neck and shoulder. Finally the numbness appeared on the hand. He went to see an orthopediｓｔ, and DR diagnosed as a cervical spondylotic myelopathy. He got the traction treatment for 6-7 times, the frequency of the numbness symptom decreased. However no more progress after that. So, he googled the chiropractic office in Yokohama, and visited Ligare chiropractic office.

~Comment from Chiropractor; Dr. Kawaguchi~
In this case the numbness caused by cervical spur. Numbness disappeared in about 1 month after the 1st visit.
Neck region contains many delicate, pain sensitive structures commonly exposed to abuse and abnormal stresses. Incomplete rehabilitation of past injuries, poor posture, prolonged sitting, and lack of periodic spinal alignments are some of the more common factors in the development of neck problems.
Fortunately, most individuals suffering from neck problems will find chiropractic care extremely beneficial. Unlike prescription drugs, most chiropractic procedures address the cause of the majority of neck problems, not simply the symptoms. Best of all, chiropractic care is safe, natural, and noninvasive... no side effects allowed!
