Yes, chiropractors can treat neck and shoulder pain. They often use spinal adjustments, manual therapies, and exercises to help alleviate pain and improve mobility in these areas. However, if your pain is severe or accompanied by other symptoms, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and appropriate treatment plan.
In general, chiropractors are trained to treat spine conditions including those of the neck and back. However, the level of expertise varies from chiropractor to chiropractor, just as with medical doctors. Be sure to do a thorough assessment of the chiropractor you are intending on seeing, and make a wise selection based upon the best information available to you from reviews and summaries from other patients.
