About Us

CAUSES OF NECK PAIN

The human neck, aka cervical spine, is composed of structures that are responsible for moving the head in a wide range of motions. It supports the weight of the human head which averages 12 pounds! These cervical structures are delicately designed and thus, are inherently prone to injury.

Some of the most common reasons for neck injury and pain include whiplash, spinal stenosis, osteoarthritis and normal degeneration that comes with aging.

Whiplash is the most common accident-related neck injury. It is caused by a sudden whipping motion of the head leading to inflammation and pain.

Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal containing the nerve roots leading to compression, pain and numbness.

Osteoarthritis, a common joint condition, is when cartilage to deteriorates causing your body to form painful bone spurs.

How a Chiropractor Can Help with Neck Pain

A chiropractor has more than 150 proven techniques for pain relief and healing that is non-invasive. A whole-body approach to health care often eliminates the need for addictive pain medication and/or surgery for these issues.

To determine a treatment plan, essential information about any recent accidents and your health history will be gathered. The chiropractor will then conduct a physical and neurological examination to determine the extent of your injuries and whether the neck pain could be referred from another location in the body. Imaging tests such as x-rays, CAT scans, and/or MRIs may be ordered as well.

A treatment plan may include:

  • Therapeutic massage
  • Manual adjustment of the spine
  • Mobilization to break down scar tissue and release restrictions
  • Spinal decompression
  • Corrective and rehabilitative exercises
  • Laser Therapy

At Indian Harbor Chiropractic in Greenwich, CT we get to the root of the problem and will get you back on the road to recovery!

Dr. Gailes is amazing. My hip pain and knee pain had disabled me for years and now its almost completely gone (went from a 9 to a 1). I use both chiropractic adjustments and her new laser therapy. The laser treatment works so quickly and really feels magical, reaching areas i felt like i could never access . Thank you so much Dr. Gailes you are a true healer!

The best! Dr Gailes is very attentive and managed to help me with my neck, back and arm pain. She really does care about her patients and goes above and beyond to help them, both during the session and by providing ergonomic tips which no other chiropractor has sat down with me and gone over. Easy to schedule with and great fun to talk with!

Dr. Gailes is the best!! I went to her for help with chronic neck and upper back pain. In just a few weeks my pain levels are almost down to zero and I have no more tension headaches. Dr. Gailes is very caring and gentle with her patients. She explains what she is doing and gives recommendations on how to improve ergonomics at home to prevent issues from recurring. Would highly recommend for chiropractic care in the Fairfield county area.

We sought Dr. Gailes' help for our 17-month-old son's recurring ear infections. Despite multiple rounds of strong antibiotics and antibiotic shots, his ear infection persisted, affecting his ability to learn to walk. After visiting Dr. Gailes, our son showed remarkable progress on the same day—he stood up by himself and took a few steps. Within days, he even started cruising! Thanks to Dr. Gailes, not only did our son's ears clear up, but the ear infection resolved much faster than we expected, even with the antibiotics we were administering. We're truly grateful for choosing Dr. Gailes.
