Plymouth Chiropractor For Spinal Degeneration

phases of degenerationThe diagram to the left shows the phases of degeneration specifically degeneration in the cervical spine. Just to be clear this can happen to any joint in the body, but is more commonly seen in the neck and low back. To be able to describe what is actually happening in the pictures above it is imperative to know the physiology and bio-mechanics behind what happens when spinal dysfunction is not properly addressed.

Our bodies are bio-mechanically structured to statically sit and dynamically move in certain planes. The intervertebral disc allows our body to statically sit in one position without compromising our nervous system. The facet joints allow our spine to dynamically move without compromising our spinal cord or nerves. In order to complete activities of daily living both of these components of the vertebral segment must be functioning properly.
phases of degeneration
When looking at a spine from the side you will notice there are curves. These curves work like a spring acting as the body’s shock absorbers. This allows us to produce dynamic movements while maintaining balance throughout a full range of motion. In order to get the most out of our spinal joints we need to establish proper poster and correct spinal curvature.

As you can see this is a picture of what a normal spine should look like. The discs are well maintained giving us good cushion from gravity, the joints are all sitting in the right plane, and we can see a normal 35-45 degree curve. This person is able to complete almost any activity of daily living without pain, has full range of motion, and has an optimally functioning nervous system.

The doctors at Northern Edge Chiropractic LLC will determine the degree of spinal dysfunction and if there is any degeneration on the first visit by completing a comprehensive chiropractic examination.

I met with Dr. Mitch today and felt very comfortable! I haven't had to see a chiropractor before and Dr. Mitch provided me with solutions I feel comfortable and confident with. I feel my recovery process is in great hands... I don't usually leave reviews but I left feeling very thankful to have found this wonderful clinic!

Love this place! I have just recently begun seeing Dr. Mitch for sports related injuries. However, he was able to provide a much more comprehensive solution than I had expected. Let’s just say our sessions have “happy endings.”

I started going to Northern Edge Chiropractic due to what I thought was related to a degenerative disc issue. My consultation was scheduled quickly and easily. I appreciated that Dr. Mitch took the time to assess my condition correctly. We came up with a treatment plan and they provided me with multiple options for payment including working with my insurance. They took the time to communicate clearly and allowed me make a informed decision. I was given a clear treatment plan that fit my needs and WOW! What a difference. I am no longer experiencing the pain that limited me in my daily life. They work around my busy schedule and always have a smile. I have treated by both Dr. Nick and Dr. Mitch and I can not say enough positive thing about them and the wonderful staff!

Love this place! The doctors and the staff are so nice and personable. Dr. Mitch identified my problem area and explained his treatment plan for me thoroughly. I would leave every appointment feeling better and better. I finished my treatment today, and when asked if I would like to continue the wellness program, there was no hesitation. With the physical activities in my daily life, I can’t imagine not getting adjusted anymore! Thank you Northern Edge!

I had always been skeptical of chiropractic care, but Northern Edge changed that. At my first consult with Dr. Nick, he educated me on chiro care and we identified some areas of focus. I never felt pressured to sign up for anything or commit to services I wasn't comfortable with. I really felt like he was willing to meet me where I was - no questions asked. The discomfort I had been feeling is now gone and I feel refreshed every time I visit the clinic. The real differentiator at Northern Edge is the people. Dr. Nick and Dr. Mitch are two of the nicest docs you'll meet. And while they're both talented professionals, they're people first. Which is what I value in a provider/patient relationship. Can't say enough good things about this place.

I used to only see a chiropractor when moving became near impossible. I had this theory that seeing a chiropractor would only make it so your body couldn’t take care of itself and would depend on the visits to be mobile. Then I had a shoulder problem that wouldn’t get better. I saw a doctor who misdiagnosed the issue and wanted to do in clinic physical therapy or go straight to surgery. I waited a year and it eventually became unbearable at times. So I went to another doctor who diagnosed the issue the same. My wife had been seeing Nick for a while as she has scoliosis and likes high impact physical hobbies. She told me to just go and see what he said. Nick diagnosed my injury differently than the medical doctors. It was humorous the first time I saw him he asked what I hit. After explaining what I do for a living he realized that while rare it could come from repetitive actions in a confined space. I’ve been seeing Nick for almost 2 years. He was happy to teach me the physical therapy I need to be able to keep doing my job. I no longer see him twice a week and only need treatment one every 2 weeks. I’m confident if I changed my work I would only see him because I now understand my body better and would only go in when I do something stupid and realize I’m out of adjustment. Top notch crew. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to really get better.

The crew at Northern Edge Chiropractic is professional, welcoming, and caring. They recommend what care they believe is best for you and are upfront about cost with options for payment plans. As someone who has had a lot of experience with chiropractic, I would recommend Northern Edge to everyone! Thanks for taking great care of me!

Super friendly and professional people. I felt like things were well explained and I was given some good tips to keeping pain down. I leave every appointment feeling 10x better. There's never any wait, even when I come in early.

Wonderful place! Came here with an unbearable amount of low back pain, had low expectations and honestly kind of scared. (First time to try chiropractic care). I have been seeing Dr Mitch (and Dr. Nick when Dr Mitch is out of the office)now for about a month and can say that the pain has subsided; I can now do the things I love again without being afraid of the next day repercussions. Hannah from the billing side of life is super honest, professional and kind and Maggie who educates about the stretches and exercises to complete at home is splendid. All these people definitely deserve every five star review they get.

The thought of going to a chiropractor used to terrify me, especially the idea of someone cracking my neck. (I blame the movies!) But after experiencing daily headaches and worrisome neck pain, I decided to give Northern Edge a try. I had heard such great things about them and now I know why! Not only is the staff incredibly welcoming and friendly (it’s like I’m hanging out with friends each time I go) but the doctors are knowledgeable, patient and excellent at making sure I feel comfortable and know what’s going on every step of the way. I’ve seen both doctors (and both are great) but I primarily see Dr. Nick. He’s awesome! I’ve been going there for a few months - my daily headaches are gone and my neck pain has significantly decreased. I feel like a whole new woman! I only wish I would have started seeing them sooner as they’ve shown me that there is nothing to be scared of and everything to gain! I look forward to every visit. Highly recommend them!

I've been going to Northern Edge for about the last year and a half. I visited a couple different places over the years before ending up at NE and it's been my favorite! What's kept me at NE for so long is how they connect with you, from the moment you walk in, through therapies and during adjustment. Whatever pain/irritation I may be feeling is met with advice and instructions on how to treat and prevent, delivered in a way that's never condescending or overcomplicated. They are so welcoming and care about you + your wellbeing, more than just during your appointment, something that stands out compared to my previous Chiro experiences. I look forward to my two visits a month, supplementing visits from them along with regular mobility work has been a huge factor in me being able to stay as active as I am (I have two active jobs and weight train). If you are debating on making an appointment- I highly encourage you to call them up! They are the best!

I came to NEC with severe pain in my right arm radiating to my wrist and hand, the pain was affecting my ability to do my job, drive, sleep, I was miserable. Being new to chiropractic, Dr. Nick took the time to explain everything he was doing, his staff took the time to explain billing, and work with my insurance, and to show me rehab exercises. They have been very accomodating with my weird work schedule and last minute travel. I made the committment to myself to get better and put the work in, and NEC made the committment to support me with every step. I am happy to report that I am feeling so much better, and am continuing with them through my rehab.

I owe a great deal of thanks to everyone at Northern Edge, especially Dr. Curry. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for chiropractic care and neither should you. The staff is awesome! Everyone is very welcome and so is the atmosphere. I think writing this without going to Northern Edge, I would be in excruciating pain, but thanks to Dr. Curry I am completely pain free!
