Neck Pain

What Is Neck Pain?

Neck pain is pain or stiffness in the cervical spine, the seven small bones of the neck and the muscles, discs and nerves around them. It is usually not serious, but it can make it hard to turn your head, drive, work at a computer or sleep. Symptoms that often come with neck pain include:

  • Headaches that start at the base of the skull
  • Muscle spasms and tight shoulders
  • Reduced range of motion
  • Tingling or numbness in the arms or hands

What Causes Neck Pain?

The most common cause is muscle strain from poor posture, such as long hours hunched over a laptop or phone (often called tech neck). Other causes include:

When Should You See a Chiropractor for Neck Pain?

See a chiropractor when neck pain gets in the way of daily activities, keeps returning, or comes with headaches or arm symptoms. Get checked after any car accident, even if you feel fine, because a sudden jolt can strain the soft tissue in your neck. Seek emergency care right away for neck pain after a major fall or with sudden severe weakness.

What to Expect During Neck Pain Treatment

Dr. Weinberg uses a conservative approach backed by well-founded scientific methods.

  1. Comprehensive exam. He checks posture, joint motion, muscle tension and nerve function to find the source of your pain.
  2. Hands-on care. Gentle chiropractic adjustments and Active Release Technique (ART) restore motion and relax tight muscles.
  3. Supporting therapies. Spinal decompression, traction, electrotherapy, ultrasound and massage therapy reduce pain and inflammation.
  4. Rehabilitation. Stretches and strengthening exercises support better posture and help prevent flare-ups.

How Long Does Neck Pain Treatment Take?

Many patients with a recent neck strain notice less pain and better motion within a few weeks. Neck pain from whiplash, a disc problem or years of poor posture usually takes longer. Dr. Weinberg checks your progress at each visit and reduces visit frequency as your neck gets stronger.
