Neck Pain

The cervical spine (neck) is responsible for both stability and flexibility — and when it becomes stiff or misaligned, it can affect not just comfort, but also movement and concentration.

Common contributors to neck pain include:

• Forward head posture / Anterior head carriage

• Muscle tightness in the para-spinal musculature

• Facet joint restriction or misalignment

• Whiplash-type injuries (from falls, sports, or car accidents)

• Stress and tension leading to muscular guarding

At Oak Chiropractic, we begin with a thorough assessment of your spinal movement, posture, and muscle function. We look not only at the neck, but also at how the shoulders, upper back, and even jaw may be influencing the area.

Care may include:

• Gentle chiropractic adjustments to improve neck mobility

• Soft tissue techniques to ease tension in supporting muscles

• Postural retraining and ergonomic advice

• Stretching and strengthening exercises tailored to your lifestyle
