Request an AppointmentCommon Causes of Neck Pain
Neck pain is often caused by poor posture, prolonged screen time, sleeping position, whiplash from an auto accident, or spinal misalignment in the cervical spine. Over time, these factors can compress nerves, strain muscles, and lead to chronic discomfort, stiffness, or even headaches that begin at the base of the skull.
How Chiropractic Care Relieves Neck Pain
Dr. Leidich evaluates your posture, range of motion, and spinal alignment to determine the underlying cause of your neck pain. Gentle chiropractic adjustments help restore proper alignment to the cervical spine, relieving pressure on surrounding nerves and muscles. Many patients also benefit from physiotherapy exercises to strengthen neck and upper back muscles, or laser therapy to reduce inflammation. Because neck pain is frequently linked to chronic pain management needs, treatment plans often address both together.
Signs You May Need Neck Pain Treatment
- Stiffness or reduced range of motion in the neck
- Pain that radiates into the shoulders or arms
- Headaches originating at the base of the skull
- Neck pain following an auto accident or fall
