Neck Pain & Chiropractic Care
Neck discomfort, pain and stiffness are issues we commonly see in practice. Whether it’s a dull ache from poor posture or sharp tension caused by stress or injury, neck discomfort can affect everything from your sleep to your workday. The good news? Chiropractic care offers safe, natural, and effective solutions for lasting relief.
Here’s what you need to know about how we help people just like you feel better, and stay that way.
Common Causes of Neck Pain and Tension
Neck pain can come on suddenly or build up gradually over time. Common causes include:
Poor posture (especially from prolonged desk work or screen time)
Stress and muscle tension
Sleeping in an awkward position
Whiplash or other injuries
Arthritis or disc issues
Pinched nerves or spinal restrictions
Understanding the underlying cause is the first step in creating an effective treatment plan. For example, a patient presenting with a neck injury will typically require a higher frequency of treatment to help them manage their pain. If a patient’s presentation is less serious (e.g. general neck tension), we rely more heavily on chiropractic adjustments and lifestyle modifications to help them feel better.
When to See a Chiropractor for Neck Pain
If your neck pain:
Lasts more than a few days
Keeps coming back
Is accompanied by headaches, numbness, or tingling
Limits your movement or focus
Started after an accident or injury
…it’s a good idea to book an appointment. The earlier you address the issue, the easier it is to treat.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
At Bloom Family Chiropractic, we take a whole-body approach to treating neck pain. Here’s how we help:
1. Functional Assessment
We begin with a detailed consultation and physical examination to assess your posture, range of motion, muscle tone, and spinal alignment. We’ll also ask about your symptoms, lifestyle, and any past injuries to understand what’s really going on.
2. Gentle, Targeted Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractors use a combination of hands-on and low-force techniques to restore proper alignment to your spine and reduce tension in your neck. These adjustments help:
Improve mobility
Decrease pain and stiffness
Reduce pressure on nerves
Promote healing and circulation
If you’re nervous about traditional adjustments, don’t worry — we offer gentle options like the Activator instrument for a low-force, precise approach.
3. Muscle and Soft Tissue Therapy
We often pair adjustments with techniques like:
Soft tissue release
Myofascial therapy
Trigger point work
These approaches target tight muscles and knots that may be contributing to your pain and tension.
4. Corrective Exercises and Posture Advice
We’ll give you personalized exercises to stretch and strengthen the muscles supporting your neck and upper back. You’ll also receive tips on ergonomics, sleep posture, and daily habits to prevent flare-ups.
5. Ongoing Support and Education
Our goal isn’t just to relieve your pain — it’s to keep it from coming back. We’ll work with you on a care plan that fits your goals and lifestyle, whether that’s a short-term fix or long-term wellness.
