Question
I(37/male) had an x-ray and it shows that there are beginning
osteophyte formations involving the cervical spine.

I experience pain on the shoulder upto head, is it advisable to go to a chiropractor?

Answer
Hello Gilbert,

    You may want to see a doctor of chiropractic who specializes in soft tissue/ sport injuries.  They will work on specific muscles and joints to help reduce pressure and tension on the spine.  Bring your x-rays with you, this will help with the exam to establish a treatment plan.

Have a great day,
