A chiropractor is working with a patient named Craig, who has had neck problems for 20 years. Craig's neck is extremely rigid and he has limited mobility, unable to turn his head or lift his arms above a certain height. The chiropractor performs various adjustments and manipulations to help loosen up Craig's neck and relieve tension in his muscles. During the session, Craig experiences some pain and discomfort, but also reports feeling some relief and improvement in his mobility. The chiropractor notes that Craig has a significant amount of arthritis in his neck and that it will likely take multiple sessions to fully address the issue.
