There’s a reason for the old saying, “It’s a pain in the neck”. Although neck pain is a common condition, it can make even the simplest movements involving the neck, head, and shoulders extremely difficult.
Mild neck pain can be an annoyance, but if left untreated, it can lead to debilitating pain, headaches, arm pain, and eventually numbness, tingling, and weakness. Understanding the root cause of your neck pain is a crucial step towards finding the proper treatment.
Symptoms of neck pain can vary in severity and duration. Neck pain can be quite severe and last several days or weeks, or your neck pain may be minor and not interfere with your daily activities at all. Either way, it is important to address what is causing your neck pain. Here are some ways patients describe the pain:
These symptoms make it difficult for those with neck pain to participate in normal daily activities, reducing the quality of their life.
In order to properly treat neck pain, it is important to understand the underlying condition causing it.
There are several factors that could be contributing to your neck pain. During our consultation, we’ll help to identify the underlying cause of the pain. Some of the common reasons for neck pain include:
Most of these issues are in some way impacted by the alignment of the cervical spine. Many times, when dealing with what seems to be a simple muscle strain or spasm, it is not just a soft tissue injury. In many cases, it is caused by a misalignment of the cervical spine which causes a neck muscle to spasm in response.
Chiropractic care can provide neck pain relief through treatments involving adjustments, massage therapy, and several posture-improving methods. By correcting misalignments in the spine, patients typically find relief and it helps the healing process.
After diagnosis, we’ll develop a customized treatment plan to help to reduce neck pain, stiffness, soreness, and improve your quality of life.
If you’ve never been to a chiropractor before, you may be a bit anxious about what to expect on your first visit. For many, the most important question is going to be will it hurt? We want to assure you that it’s a quick and painless process. It’s always helpful to understand exactly what to expect at your initial visit. Here are some things you can expect at your first appointment:
This stage of the appointment is important because treatment is often ineffective without proper diagnosis. We perform an in-depth consultation along with a detailed physical examination and any necessary testing to determine exactly what is causing your neck pain.
The technique we use is gentle and non-invasive, which makes it a great fit for a wide range of patients. There is no twisting, cracking or jerking of the spine. Our technique allows us to provide scientific and specific adjustments to address your neck pain for long-lasting results!
We also incorporate rehabilitative stretches and strengthening exercises to address any muscular imbalances throughout the body. Our goal is to help our patients achieve optimal results as quickly as possible.
Some of the recommendations you might get after your session includes:
Unfortunately, many people let their neck pain go uncorrected hoping that it will just go away on its own. In some cases, it will go away, but the root cause of that problem is usually still there. Over time, that area can become more susceptible to recurrence of the injury, and if the problem is not corrected it can become much more serious. If you are dealing with neck pain, make sure to call now to see how we can help.

Over-the-counter drugs and similar medications are normally used to treat or get relief from neck pain. You might be using some of these to treat your neck pain, but they do not have long-lasting effects and may still have negative side effects. Chiropractic care is holistic and natural. It targets the root cause of your pain and addresses it, providing long-lasting relief without any of the side effects that pain relievers may have
Avoid putting your head down and bending your neck in uncomfortable positions for long hours. Always take a break to stretch your neck and adjust your posture. Add a little neck exercise to your routine to keep the neck muscles strong and healthy.
It is possible that neck pain might indeed go away over time on its own without causing much harm. However, neck pain should never be dismissed. In some cases, ignoring neck pain can lead to long-term problems and even irreversible damage.
Dr. Mike is personable and listens to his patients. My primary interaction with him was with one of my wrestlers that was tryin to get back on the mat after numerous surgeries. He tried and tried and continued to have problems with his shoulder. He was sidelined for a good portion of his senior year. Dr. Mike started working with him a couples days a week. This last for for about 8 weeks. He was ultimately able to compete and placed 3rd in the state tournament. What is truly unique is that he had gone to numerous other experts and the results were always the same. It was different with Dr. mike and so were the results. This guy does it right and gets results! I strongly recommend him.
