Key facts
Neck pain is pain anywhere from the base of the skull to the top of the shoulders. It can be a stiff ache, a sharp stab, or pain that limits turning the head.
It can come from the joints of the neck, a disc, the muscles, or a nerve. Poor posture, especially from phones and screens, is a common driver. A disc or nerve problem in the neck can send pain down an arm.
Neck pain is often confused with a headache. The two are linked, because neck problems can trigger headaches. The examination shows whether the neck is the source.
The pattern is pain or stiffness in the neck that may be worse after sitting at a screen, sleeping in an odd position, or a sudden impact like a crash. It may come with headaches or pain that runs down an arm.
Red flag symptoms
Seek urgent medical care rather than booking with us if you have any of the following.
We treat neck pain based on what the examination finds. A joint or muscle problem usually means chiropractic care and laser therapy. A disc or nerve problem may add spinal decompression. The services below are the ones we use.
How long it takes depends on what is causing the pain and how long it has been there. Some cases ease in a few visits and others take longer. We track your response at each visit and adjust the plan. We do not promise a fixed timeline or a specific outcome.
Neck pain often starts with the chiropractic new patient special. The $49 new patient special (chiropractic) includes a consultation, an exam, x-rays and your first adjustment. Offer not valid for Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, VA or other government health plan patients. See our pricing and insurance page for the full breakdown.

Tell us what hurts
Your details go straight to the clinic. We do not share them.
Yes. Problems in the joints or muscles of the neck can trigger headaches, especially at the base of the skull. The examination shows whether the neck is the source of your headaches.
It often is. Long hours at a screen or on a phone strain the neck. We look at how you hold your head and give you guidance on posture alongside the care.
If a neck joint is stiff or restricted, an adjustment to restore its movement often helps. We use low-force and instrument-assisted options for anyone nervous about manual work.
That can mean a disc in the neck is pressing on a nerve. The examination and imaging show whether that is the case. If it is, the plan may add spinal decompression.
Your pillow can affect neck pain. We give you guidance on sleep position based on your examination. A pillow that keeps your neck in line with your spine usually helps.
Go to the emergency room if you have pain or numbness down both arms, lose bowel or bladder control, have severe arm weakness, or a fever with a stiff neck. Those are red flags that need urgent medical care.
