What is Neck Pain?
Neck pain can range from a dull, nagging ache to sharp, debilitating discomfort that limits your movement. It often starts subtly—stiffness after sleeping wrong, tension from heavy lifting, or tightness after sitting in one position too long. Over time, these everyday habits can affect the neck muscles, nerve roots, and even the spinal column, leading to chronic pain.
At Chiromed Wellness, we understand that every patient’s condition is unique. That’s why we begin every case with a thorough evaluation of your medical history, lifestyle, and symptoms to accurately diagnose the issue. Whether you’re dealing with a recent neck injury or developing neck pain that’s worsened over time, our team builds a custom treatment plan using conservative treatments that aim to restore mobility, relieve pain, and improve your overall quality of life.
For most patients, this means skipping unnecessary medications and surgeries—and choosing a more integrative, long-term solution instead.
Common Causes of Chronic Neck Pain
Understanding the common causes of neck pain can help prevent it from returning—and guide us toward the right treatment options.
At Chiromed Wellness, we often see neck pain patients whose symptoms stem from a combination of structural, postural, and lifestyle-related factors. Here are some of the most frequent contributors:
Poor posture
Slouching, hunching over a computer monitor, or holding your head at the wrong eye level can strain the neck muscles and shift the alignment of your cervical spine.
Muscle tension and stress
Chronic stress often leads to involuntary tightening of the shoulders and neck, creating persistent stiffness and discomfort.
Injuries and accidents
Sudden impacts from car accidents, falls, or sports can damage the soft tissues or compress the nerve roots in the neck.
Sleeping position
Using the wrong pillow or sleeping with poor neck support can place strain on the spine overnight.
Degenerative conditions
Bone spurs, arthritis, and other age-related changes can narrow the spaces in the spinal column, putting pressure on nerves.
Heavy lifting and overuse
Repetitive motions, carrying heavy bags, or poor lifting technique can all contribute to neck strain.
What Symptoms Does Neck Pain Cause?
Neck pain doesn’t always present the same way for every person. Some feel a constant dull ache, while others experience sudden, sharp pain or symptoms that radiate beyond the neck. At Chiromed Wellness, we listen carefully to each patient's experience to understand how your symptoms are affecting your body, lifestyle, and goals.
Common signs that may indicate a neck‒related issue include:
Stiffness or reduced range of motion
Sharp pain when turning or tilting the head
Persistent muscle tension or tightness
Headaches, especially at the base of the skull
Numbness or tingling in the shoulders, arms, or hands
A “clicking” or grinding sensation in the neck
Dizziness or light-headedness
Fatigue or discomfort after long periods in one position
What Treatments Help with Neck Pain Relief?
At Chiromed Wellness, we take a comprehensive approach to neck pain treatment, focusing on long-term relief rather than quick fixes. Our goal is to support the healing process through safe, non-invasive methods tailored to each patient’s condition and goals.
Depending on the causes of your neck pain, we may recommend a combination of the following conservative treatments:
Chiropractic Adjustments
Gentle spinal corrections help realign the cervical spine, reduce pressure on nerve roots, and improve mobility. This is often a foundational step for relieving pain and restoring function.
Spinal Decompression Therapy
Ideal for conditions like herniated discs or pinched nerves, spinal decompression gently stretches the spine to create space, promote circulation, and reduce inflammation.
Neuromed Electroanalgesia
This advanced therapy delivers targeted electrical stimulation to modulate pain signals and promote nerve recovery. It’s especially useful for patients with neck pain, chronic discomfort, or nerve involvement.
Physical Therapy and Strengthening Exercises
Customized strengthening exercises and guided movement strategies improve posture, stabilize weak areas, and retrain the body to move without strain.
Shockwave Therapy
Delivers targeted acoustic waves using the Omniwave device to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and promote healing in the muscles and soft tissues of the neck—offering lasting relief without invasive procedures.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most common reason for neck pain?
While there isn’t one definitive cause of neck pain, stress and poor posture are the most common causes. Poor posture, like hunching over a laptop at work, and stress can cause muscle tightness and other conditions that can lead to neck pain.
How do I know if my neck pain is serious?
Experiencing higher levels of pain or symptoms that have a major impact on your life are typical indicators of a more serious condition. Taking action sooner rather than later can help to minimize the impact and severity of your condition on your life.
What treatment is best for neck pain?
Visiting a chiropractor is often the best treatment for chronic neck pain. A good chiropractor can identify the underlying cause of your pain and work with you to treat the problem. Even after treating it, the chiropractor can help you understand why the pain started in the first place so you can avoid repeat problems.
Does neck pain ever go away?
Minor instances of neck pain will usually go away on their own. In more severe cases of neck pain, though, chiropractic care will likely be required.
