- Muscle tightness in the neck and upper shoulders
- Headaches that start at the base of the skull
- Pain that radiates into the shoulder or arm
- Numbness or tingling in the hands
- Pain that worsens with prolonged screen time
How Our Doctors Diagnose Neck Pain
Your care begins with a detailed consultation and a complete chiropractic examination that includes orthopedic, neurological, postural, and range-of-motion testing. When indicated, we take on-site digital X-rays to look for misalignment, degeneration, or other structural problems. Learn more about what happens during your first visit.
Chiropractic Treatment for Neck Pain
Treatment may include gentle cervical adjustments or the Pro-Adjuster to restore proper joint motion, computerized cervical traction to relieve pressure on discs and nerves, and soft tissue therapy to release tight muscles. Postural exercises and ergonomic recommendations help keep your neck healthy between visits. Every plan is personalized and may combine chiropractic adjustments with our in-office therapies.
Home Care and Prevention
Raising your screen to eye level, taking regular breaks, sleeping with a supportive pillow, and performing the stretches your doctor recommends can make a real difference. Once your symptoms are under control, wellness care helps keep your body functioning at its best and reduces the chance of future flare-ups.

Neck Pain FAQs
What causes neck pain?
Common causes include poor posture, screen use, muscle strain, stress, sleeping position, whiplash injuries, disc problems, and arthritis in the cervical spine.
Can chiropractic help a stiff neck?
Yes. Chiropractic adjustments restore motion to restricted joints, while soft tissue therapy and stretching relieve muscle tension, helping you move more freely.
Are neck adjustments safe?
Neck adjustments performed by a trained chiropractor after a thorough exam are considered safe for most patients. We also offer the gentle Pro-Adjuster for those who prefer a low-force option.
What is cervical traction?
Cervical traction is a computerized treatment that gently stretches the neck to relieve pressure on discs and nerves while relaxing tight muscles.
Can neck pain cause headaches?
Yes. Tension and joint restriction in the upper neck commonly cause cervicogenic and tension headaches. Treating the neck often reduces headache frequency.
When is neck pain serious?
Seek prompt care if neck pain follows an accident, is accompanied by numbness, weakness, or severe headache, or does not improve after a few days.
How can I prevent neck pain at work?
Keep your monitor at eye level, take frequent breaks, keep your shoulders relaxed, and do posture exercises throughout the day.
