When you turn your whole torso just to back out of the driveway — and the painkillers stopped touching it months ago.
Neck pain comes from a short list of sources: a sudden injury (whiplash from a fender-bender or a hard fall), overuse and strain from repetitive movements or long hours at a desk, or age-related changes like arthritis in the cervical joints. Sometimes it's all three layered on top of each other.
Whatever the cause, the discomfort makes the basics harder — reading, watching, working, sleeping on the side you used to sleep on. By the time most people come in, they've already tried the obvious things and they're tired of waiting it out.
Most neck pain involves misalignments in the cervical vertebrae and tension in the muscles that support them. Chiropractic adjustments restore proper motion and position to those joints. Once they're back where they should be, the muscles release, the nerves stop firing alarm signals, and the pain begins to back off.
The first visit looks at your range of motion, the specific segments that aren't moving correctly, and any contributing factors at the desk, in the car, or in how you sleep. From there we build a plan and show you the exact stretches and posture corrections that keep the relief from undoing itself.
If surgery and pain medication aren't where you want to land, you have a real alternative.
