Choose a convenient time to meet with our team. We’ll listen to your concerns, identify what may be contributing to your neck pain, and create a personalized plan to help you move more comfortably.
Conditions and Symptoms We Treat
Neck pain can develop from an injury, poor posture, repetitive strain, spinal changes, or pressure on a nearby nerve. During your evaluation, we’ll determine what is causing your symptoms and whether the problem involves the joints, discs, muscles, or nerves in your neck.
We commonly help patients with:
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Limited range of motion
- Muscle tension and spasms
- Whiplash and auto accident injuries
- Tech neck and posture-related pain
- Pinched nerves
- Herniated and bulging cervical discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Arthritis-related neck pain
- Work and sports injuries
- Pain that extends into the shoulders or upper back
- Numbness or tingling in the arm or hand
Problems in the neck may also contribute to recurring headaches, especially when muscle tension or restricted movement is involved. Visit our Headaches page to learn more about the connection between neck tension and head pain.
If your symptoms began after a car accident, even a minor one, visit our Auto Accident Injuries page to learn how we help patients recover from whiplash and other collision-related injuries.
How We Treat Neck Pain
Effective treatment begins with finding the source of your pain. We’ll evaluate your neck, review your symptoms, and use digital X-rays when needed to better understand what is causing the problem.
Based on our findings, your treatment plan may include:
Manual Adjustments – Restricted or improperly moving joints in the neck can cause stiffness, muscle tension, and pain when turning your head. Gentle chiropractic adjustments help restore movement, reduce pressure on irritated joints and nerves, and improve the way your neck functions. This can make everyday movements such as driving, working, and exercising more comfortable.
MLS Laser Therapy – Inflamed or injured muscles and soft tissues can cause persistent soreness, tightness, and reduced mobility. MLS Laser Therapy uses advanced light energy to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and support tissue healing. It may be especially helpful for neck strains, muscle spasms, and soft-tissue injuries caused by poor posture or an accident.
SoftWave Therapy – When damaged tissues do not heal properly, neck pain can become a recurring or long-term problem. SoftWave Therapy increases blood flow and stimulates the body’s natural repair response in the treated area. It may help reduce chronic pain and inflammation while supporting the healing of injured muscles, ligaments, and other soft tissues.
Some patients benefit from one primary treatment, while others achieve better results through a combination of therapies. We’ll recommend the approach that best fits your condition, comfort level, and recovery goals.
Why Choose Optimal Health Chiropractic?
Neck pain should not be treated with the same plan for every patient. Before recommending care, we take the time to learn when your symptoms began, what movements make them worse, and how the pain is affecting your daily life.
Our approach is focused on correcting the underlying problem—not simply covering up the discomfort. You’ll receive a clear explanation of what we found, which treatments we recommend, and how those treatments may help you recover.
Whether you want to turn your head without pain, work comfortably at your desk, sleep through the night, or return to the activities you enjoy, we’ll build your treatment plan around helping you reach those goals.
