Neck Pain
The neck is home to the cervical spine, which is the part of the spine that controls your neck movements and flexibility.
It offers an extensive range of motion and, for most, contributes to several everyday functions, such as driving a car, getting dressed, exercising, even sneezing.
Neck pain has increasingly become a more common reason to visit your local chiropractor. With advances in handheld device technology, new remote or stay-home workers, and even streaming platforms making prolonged sofa-sitting while binging your favorite shows a popular pastime, our family chiropractic clinic has seen a consistent uptick in neck pain patients.
With our excessive use of the neck’s soft tissues and vertebrae, injury and pain are typical. The good news is that, in most cases, your neck pain can be easily remedied using safe, non-invasive chiropractic services. Combining that with the correct exercises, stretches, and postural advice, your neck pain can get under control fast.
Why Do I Have Neck Pain?
We have many patients who are experiencing neck pain, they range in age and lifestyle, but they all want to find relief as responsibly and efficiently as possible. When our neck is out of balance, it can make work, physical activity, and our everyday routine challenging or impossible.
Because the cervical spine is part of the spinal structure, it’s important to look at the spine as a whole to see if your neck discomfort is due to other areas of the body. Chiropractic care takes a comprehensive approach to your body’s treatment, ensuring the source of pain is found. When one part of the musculoskeletal system is impaired, other areas may be affected.

Why We Experience Neck Pain
The neck is quite intricate and offers significant motion and flexibility. Like with the back, the neck is used in numerous daily movements.

- Improperly set up workstation and ergonomics
- Text neck due to handheld devices
- Physical activity such as exercise, sporting events, and athletics
- Daily routine and everyday wear and tear
- Overuse injuries
