What Is Neck Pain?

The neck supports the full weight of your head — about 10-12 pounds — through a small, mobile set of joints. Poor posture, old injuries, and repetitive strain all show up here first.

Common Causes

  • Poor posture from phone and computer use ("tech neck")
  • Repetitive strain or awkward sleeping position
  • Old whiplash or sports injuries
  • Degenerative changes in the cervical spine

Common Symptoms

  • Stiffness or reduced range of motion turning the head
  • Sharp or dull pain localized to one side of the neck
  • Headaches that start at the base of the skull
  • Pain radiating into the shoulder or upper arm

How We Treat It

Cervical chiropractic adjustments are the foundation of neck pain care, restoring motion to restricted joints. We often pair this with shockwave therapy for stubborn muscle tension and simple posture-correction exercises you can do at home.

When To See a Chiropractor

If neck pain is affecting your daily life — work, sleep, exercise, or time with family — it's worth getting evaluated. We offer a free consultation so you can get an honest answer about whether we're the right fit, with no pressure and no commitment.
