Chiropractic Care for Neck Pain

Does your neck creak, grind or make noises when you move? Do you feel like you have to move your head often when you’re stationary?

Is your head feeling too heavy for your neck to hold up or your neck and shoulder muscles always tense and achy?

These are all common presentations we hear from our patients every day in practice and it is something chiropractic care can help with.

Modern life places a huge strain on the neck. Hours at a desk, scrolling on devices, stress, and even minor accidents can all contribute to stiffness, tension, and pain. Left untreated, neck issues can lead to recurring headaches, reduced mobility, and radiating pain into the shoulders or arms.

At Midlothian Chiropractic, we take the time to understand the cause of your neck pain and provide a safe, natural solution to restore movement and ease discomfort.

Why Choose Chiropractic for Neck Pain?

The neck is highly mobile however, it gives up stability to move in so many different directions, this makes it more prone to injury or misalignment. Chiropractic adjustments restore the correct function to the joints and muscles of the neck. Creating more stability, less tension and make neck pain a thing of the past.

Our Approach

We may use a combination of the following techniques:

Detailed Assessment

Our experienced chiropractors will go through a thorough health history, conduct a spinal exam checking each individual vertebrae and joint in your neck, where the vertebrae is positioned, quality of movement, checking the neck muscles to see which ones are tight or not engaging and why this is happening, also checking the positioning of your head, back and shoulders. We may conduct neurological and orthopaedic testing to assess how well the nerves in your neck are functioning and provide an accurate diagnosis of what is causing your neck pain.

Postural Assessment

Postural assessment involves using our posture screen technology to accurately assess your neck curve and overall posture. You might be surprised how much force your head can put on your neck and spine due to poor posture.
