What are the most common causes of neck pain?

Common causes of neck pain include poor posture, stress, injuries like whiplash, herniated discs, and degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis. Identifying the root cause is crucial for effective treatment.

Can chiropractic care really help with neck pain?

Yes. Chiropractic adjustments help realign the cervical spine, reduce nerve irritation, improve mobility, and relieve chronic pain without medication or surgery. Many patients report immediate improvement.

What is SoftWave Therapy and how does it work?

SoftWave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic shockwaves to stimulate healing, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation. It's FDA-cleared and often used to treat chronic neck, shoulder, and joint pain.

How does spinal decompression help neck pain?

Spinal decompression gently stretches the spine, reducing pressure on discs and nerves in the cervical area. It improves nutrient flow and helps patients with herniated discs or pinched nerves find long-term relief.

Understanding Neck Pain: Causes, Symptoms, and Effective Treatments

Neck pain is a common complaint that can affect anyone — whether you’re sitting at a desk all day, recovering from an accident, or simply dealing with stress. At Everybody’s Chiropractic Center in Upper Darby, we help patients from Drexel Hill, Havertown, and Philadelphia find real, lasting relief from neck pain using modern, non-invasive treatments like chiropractic care, SoftWave Therapy, and spinal decompression.

Common Causes of Neck Pain

There are many reasons people experience neck pain. Some of the most common include:

Poor posture from sitting too long or using phones/devices with your head down
Injuries like whiplash or trauma from sports or car accidents
Degenerative disc disease or arthritis affecting cervical joints
Herniated or bulging discs pressing on nerves in the neck
Muscle strain from stress, sleep positions, or repetitive movements

Identifying the root cause is key to choosing the right treatment plan.

How Chiropractic Adjustments Help Neck Pain

Chiropractic care focuses on restoring proper alignment to your spine. Gentle cervical adjustments can:

Reduce nerve irritation
Improve joint mobility
Relax tense muscles
Relieve chronic stiffness or inflammation

Many patients feel immediate improvement in range of motion and a reduction in pain after treatment. Best of all, adjustments are non-invasive and drug-free.

SoftWave Therapy: A Revolutionary Approach to Chronic Pain

SoftWave Therapy is a powerful, FDA-cleared treatment that uses acoustic waves to accelerate healing and reduce inflammation. It’s ideal for patients with:

Chronic neck pain
Soft tissue damage
Muscle tension or trigger points

It’s a favorite among patients because there are no needles, no downtime, and often immediate relief — even when other therapies haven’t worked.

Spinal Decompression: Taking Pressure Off Your Neck

For patients with disc injuries or nerve compression, spinal decompression can make a huge difference. This non-surgical therapy gently stretches the spine to:

Relieve pressure on nerves and discs
Improve nutrient flow to damaged tissues
Restore natural disc height and function

It’s especially effective for conditions like herniated discs, pinched nerves, and cervical radiculopathy (nerve pain traveling into the arms).
