Common Causes of Neck Pain

Neck pain is a common struggle and can stem from different factors. Understanding its causes can help you seek the right care to achieve real, lasting results. 

  • Poor posture: A prolonged forward-leaning head position or using a pillow that doesn’t support your neck’s natural curve increases pressure on the cervical spine, causing pain. 
  • Muscle tension and stress: Repetitive movements and emotional stress can tighten the muscles around the neck and shoulders, leading to discomfort. 
  • Auto or sports accident: Whiplash, trauma, and falls cause ligament sprains and muscle tears.
  • Nerve compression: Herniated or degenerative cervical discs can cause neck pain and stiffness that radiates down the shoulder, arm, and hand.

Chiropractic Treatments We Offer

Core Chiropractic and Advanced Therapies

Chiropractic Adjustments

A misaligned spine can irritate nearby nerves and muscles, leading to pain and stiffness. To address this, we perform manual, gentle adjustments as a noninvasive cervical spine therapy that helps realign the spine, reduce pain, and improve joint mobility.

Regenerative and Medical Treatments

Spinal Decompression Therapy

For neck pain that is tied to disc pressure and posture issues, we perform spinal decompression as a solution. Using a decompression table to gently stretch the spine, this treatment helps reduce pressure on irritated nerves and discs, promotes healthy blood flow, alleviates pain, and supports the body’s natural healing process.

Regenerative and Medical Treatments

Physical Rehabilitation

Physical rehabilitation is among the best nonsurgical treatments for neck pain to help you manage pain and prevent reinjury. Through personalized, therapeutic techniques, targeted exercises, and postural and ergonomic education, we help ease your pain and improve your mobility in the long term.

Regenerative and Medical Treatments

Myofascial Therapy

Tightness and stiffness in the neck that don’t improve with stretching and exercise are often caused by restrictions in the fascia. Our myofascial therapy works by applying gentle, sustained pressure to restricted areas to relieve muscle tension, restore muscle flexibility, and help you feel more comfortable moving your neck.

Regenerative and Medical Treatments

Pain Management

If other noninvasive therapies have not brought relief, we may include pain management injections as part of your treatment plan. Depending on the cause of your pain, we offer injections such as trigger point injections, PRP therapy, and joint injections to deliver significant, immediate relief.

Regenerative and Medical Treatments

Wellness and Supportive Care

For some instances of neck injuries and post-surgical recovery, we may recommend custom orthotics to provide added support for the head and spine. We may also incorporate nutritional supplements to promote healing from within.
