Neck
Pain
WHAT CAUSES NECK PAIN?
Your neck, also called the cervical spine, begins at the base of the skull and contains seven small vertebrae. Your cervical spine supports the full weight of your head, which weighs about 12 pounds on average. Because the neck is very flexible and can move your head in virtually every direction, it is highly susceptible to pain and injury.
Some common causes of neck pain include:
- Pinched nerves
- Osteoarthritis
- Herniated discs
- Bone spurs
- Worn joints
- Muscle strains, often from postural deviations
- Injuries, such as from sports or auto accidents
At Integrity Auto & Work Injury Chiropractic Clinic, we understand the debilitating effects of neck pain and are dedicated to providing effective and individualized treatment plans to help our patients find relief.
One of the most common causes of neck pain is muscle strain, which can be caused by poor posture, injury, or repetitive motions. Our chiropractors will perform a thorough examination to determine the cause of your neck pain and create a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Chiropractic care is a popular and effective treatment option for neck pain. Our chiropractors use a variety of techniques, including spinal manipulation, mobilization, and soft tissue therapy, to alleviate pain and improve mobility. In addition to these techniques, we also offer therapeutic exercises and stretches to help patients prevent future episodes of neck pain.
We also offer other treatment options such as Decompression Therapy, which is a non-surgical treatment for neck pain caused by bulging or herniated discs. This treatment uses a specialized table that gently stretches the spine, helping to relieve pressure on the discs and nerves.
In addition to these treatments, we also provide our patients with education on proper posture and ergonomics to help prevent future episodes of neck pain.
At Integrity Auto & Work Injury Chiropractic Clinic, we strive to provide the highest level of care and support to our patients. Our experienced chiropractors are dedicated to helping you find relief from neck pain and get back to your daily activities.

CAN CHIROPRACTORS TREAT NECK PAIN?
Chiropractic neck adjustments, called cervical manipulation, loosen up the joints of the cervical vertebrae in the neck. This can reduce pain caused by pinched nerves, muscle spasms, strains and other contributing factors.
Most neck problems are associated with poor posture combined with age-related wear and tear.
Chiropractors use their hands to manipulate the neck and place the vertebrae back into alignment, combatting the effects of posture and other factors.
Sometimes, neck pain isn’t just local. Discomfort from causes such as pinched nerves can radiate throughout the shoulder and down the arm. Chiropractors can help relieve these pains by repositioning the bones, relaxing the muscles, and reducing the pressure on nerves.
In conjunction with your chiropractic treatment plan, continual stretching and home exercises can ensure your neck pain stays at bay. Soft tissue massage can also loosen muscle knots in the neck and shoulders to relieve pain.
