What Causes Neck Pain?

Neck pain may develop suddenly after an injury or gradually because of repetitive movements, poor posture, prolonged computer use, or age-related changes affecting the cervical spine.

Common causes may include:

Because several neck conditions can produce similar symptoms, a thorough evaluation is an important step in determining the most appropriate treatment approach.

Common Symptoms of Neck Pain

Every patient experiences neck pain differently.

Common symptoms may include:

  • Neck stiffness
  • Pain when turning your head
  • Muscle tightness
  • Headaches
  • Shoulder pain
  • Pain between the shoulder blades
  • Numbness or tingling into an arm or hand
  • Reduced range of motion
  • Muscle spasms
  • Upper-back discomfort

Some patients also experience headaches, arm pain, shoulder discomfort, or tingling because the muscles, joints, discs, and nerves of the cervical spine can affect nearby areas.

Neck Pain After a Work Injury

Many workplace activities place repetitive stress on the neck and upper back.

Construction workers, nurses, healthcare professionals, warehouse employees, mechanics, office workers, teachers, and many others may develop symptoms related to repetitive movements, prolonged postures, lifting, or poor ergonomics.

Common work-related factors include:

  • Heavy or repetitive lifting
  • Looking down for prolonged periods
  • Computer work
  • Poor workstation ergonomics
  • Repetitive movements
  • Awkward postures

An evaluation may help identify whether a musculoskeletal injury or mechanical problem is contributing to your symptoms and whether conservative treatment is appropriate.

Neck Pain After an Auto Accident

Neck pain is common following a motor vehicle accident.

Sudden acceleration and deceleration forces can affect the muscles, ligaments, joints, discs, and other structures of the cervical spine.

Patients may experience:

  • Whiplash
  • Neck stiffness
  • Headaches
  • Shoulder pain
  • Muscle spasms
  • Reduced range of motion
  • Pain between the shoulder blades
  • Arm pain or tingling

Because symptoms can become more noticeable during the hours or days after a collision, an evaluation may help identify whether neck or other musculoskeletal injuries are contributing to your symptoms.

Our goal is to help reduce symptoms, improve movement, restore function, and help you return to work, exercise, and everyday activities as safely as possible.

How Chiropractic Care May Help Neck Pain

Chiropractic care focuses on improving joint movement and addressing mechanical factors that may contribute to neck discomfort.

Because neck pain may involve muscles, joints, discs, ligaments, nerves, and surrounding soft tissues, we perform a comprehensive evaluation before recommending treatment.

As part of your examination, we may evaluate:

  • Neck range of motion
  • Joint mobility
  • Posture
  • Muscle strength
  • Muscle tension
  • Neurological findings
  • Functional movement
  • Previous injuries
  • Activities that aggravate or relieve your symptoms

Depending on your condition, chiropractic care may be combined with rehabilitation, exercises, soft-tissue therapy, Class IV laser therapy, or other conservative treatment options.

What to Expect from Our Neck Pain Chiropractor

Every treatment plan begins with a comprehensive evaluation.

During your first visit, we’ll discuss:

  • How your symptoms began
  • Where your pain is located
  • Previous injuries
  • Work activities
  • Computer and phone use
  • Exercise habits
  • Daily activities
  • Previous treatments
  • Current limitations

Your examination may include:

  • Orthopedic testing
  • Neurological testing
  • Range-of-motion evaluation
  • Muscle-strength testing
  • Functional movement assessment
  • Postural evaluation

If you have previous X-rays, MRI studies, CT scans, or other diagnostic imaging, we can review those findings when appropriate.

After the examination, we’ll explain our findings and discuss whether conservative chiropractic care or another treatment option may be appropriate for your condition.
