Neck pain can present itself in different ways including stiffness, numbness/tingling, burning, and difficulty sleeping.

Sometimes the neck can be involved in cases of shoulder, elbow, wrist and even back pain. Because it can present itself in many ways and different body parts, we always perform a thorough screen of the neck anytime we suspect it may be involved.

We perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine the root cause of individuals’ neck pain, as there are many different presentations and we believe that a “one size fits all” approach is not the best. Among the most common reasons for neck pain that we see on a regular basis is weakness of neck and back musculature or the surrounding muscles. (Dirito, A. M., Abichandani, D., Jadhakhan, F., & Falla, D. 2024) Our goal is to determine which movements help your neck pain and give you a strengthening regimen to meet you where you are at.

Of course, pain and stiffness can be a huge limiting factor. We offer many different treatment options to help manage pain and discomfort based on your individual presentation of neck pain including:

• Spinal manipulation and mobilization

• Soft tissue mobilization/massage

• Myofascial release/cupping
