Chiropractic Relief for Neck Pain and Beyond

The neck isn’t just about pain—it affects the shoulders, back, pelvis, and more. Discover care that restores function throughout the body.

Why Neck Pain Affects the Whole Body

The cervical spine doesn’t work in isolation—it’s the control center for movement and communication throughout the body. When the neck isn’t functioning properly, the impact can ripple to the shoulders, upper and lower back, pelvis, hips, and even knees.

Common Causes of Neck Pain:

• Poor Posture: Extended time looking down at phones or sitting at desks.
• Muscle Strain: Repetitive motions or sudden injuries.
• Spinal Misalignments: Pressing on nerves and reducing mobility.
• Injuries: Such as whiplash from accidents.

Symptoms Associated with Neck Pain:

• Stiffness or limited range of motion.
• Sharp or dull localized pain.
• Headaches or migraines.
• Tension or pain radiating to the shoulders or arms.
• Weakness or numbness in the arms.

The cervical spine is a critical structure connecting the head and body. Neck pain often arises from misalignment, tension, or injury and is frequently linked to common conditions or findings noted on imaging, such as:

Common Diagnoses:

• Cervical Disc Herniation: When a disc bulges or ruptures, pressing on nerves in the neck.
• Cervical Spondylosis (Arthritis): Age-related changes in the spine, often causing stiffness and discomfort.
• Whiplash (Cervical Strain): Injury caused by sudden, forceful neck movement.
• Postural Strain: Chronic poor posture leading to tension and pain.

Radiographic Findings Often Seen in Patients with Neck Pain:

• Decreased cervical curvature (“Text Neck” or straightened cervical spine).
• Disc space narrowing.
• Bone spurs or signs of arthritis.
• Misalignments, such as vertebral subluxations or rotational issues.

Ignoring neck pain can lead to chronic issues affecting your shoulders, back, and even knees. Early care is key to preventing widespread dysfunction.

Care Designed for Your Condition

Neck pain treatments are tailored to each patient’s unique situation. Care begins with a thorough assessment to identify the root cause—whether it’s a muscle strain, misalignment, or posture-related issue

Treatment Plans Vary Based On:

• Severity: Mild discomfort may resolve with a few adjustments, while more severe cases might require ongoing care
• Duration: Chronic conditions often need more comprehensive strategies than recent injuries.
• Compliance: Consistency with prescribed exercises, posture correction, and visits directly influences recovery speed and outcomes.

Types of Treatments:

• Chiropractic Adjustments: Realign the cervical spine to restore mobility and relieve nerve pressure.
• Soft Tissue Therapy: Address tension and reduce inflammation in muscles and connective tissues.
• Electrotherapy:
  Use targeted electrical stimulation to reduce pain and relax muscles.
• Laser and Shockwave Therapy:
  Promote healing, reduce inflammation, and break down scar tissue for chronic or severe conditions.
• Education: Posture correction, ergonomic tips, and home exercises to prevent recurrence.

Consistency is key: following the plan reduces recovery time and lowers the chance of recurrence.
