OVERVIEW
Neck pain doesn't always start with an injury. For a lot of people, it shows up slowly. Maybe you work on a laptop at the kitchen table, or you spend your lunch break looking down at your phone. Some of our patients were rear-ended years ago and their neck has never felt quite right since. Others wake up with a crick that won't let them check the blind spot. Sometimes the ache stays at the bottom of the skull. Sometimes it creeps out over the shoulders or down into a hand. We don't worry much about how it began, at least not at first. We care about what's keeping it going, and in most cases that's something hands-on care and exercise can fix.
BOOKING APPOINTMENTS
You can call the clinic to book. Some people find the online form easier, especially if they're at work, and we'll get back to you. Have an old MRI or X-ray? Toss it in your bag and bring it.

SCHEDULE
REQUEST AN APPOINTMENT
Tell the front desk what days are easiest. We'd rather see you early, before a stiff neck turns into a stiff neck and a headache.
DIAGNOSE
EXAM & IMAGING
Expect to do a little moving for us. We'll have you turn your head side to side and look up at the ceiling, and we'll probably poke around at the muscles above your shoulder blades too.
TREATMENTS
CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM
Most people get some hands-on work on the first day, which loosens up the stiff spots. Next come exercises for the small muscles that support your head, plus your upper back and shoulders.
FOLLOW UP
WE CALL TO CHECK IN
Every visit, we'll see how far you can turn compared to last time. By the end, most people are only stopping in now and then. You'll have a short list of exercises to keep doing at home.

What Are You Experiencing?
You don’t have to have it all figured out by yourself. Most people just know that it hurts, not how to fix it. That’s enough. Fill out this simple form and let us know in your own words how it’s hurting. We’ll take a look and then give you a call in order to take you through what may be happening and how we may be able to help.
LOW HIGH
SEVERE PAIN
If your pain is severe and you cannot manage it, don’t wait. Call 911 or come directly to your local hospital. Attend to the emergency first. When you are in a place of safety and ready, we will have follow-up care and recovery available.
MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT
This type of pain will interfere with daily life. Sometimes it’s a sharp, aching type, sometimes it’ll just be a dull sensation. Either way, however, it’s a good idea to pay attention to it. Take note of how it feels, and we can go from there in figuring out what’s going on.
MINOR PAINS & ACHES
Even tiny aches add up. That sore back, muscle pains, or that pesky hurt you keep postponing do matter and could ruin your day. Let us in on what you’ve noticed, and we’ll collaborate to keep things from escalating.

Answering Your Questions
How come my neck is so stiff when I get out of bed?
Pillows are the usual suspect. Too thick or too thin, and your neck spends the night tipped to one side. Stomach sleepers have it the worst, since the head has to stay turned for hours.
Is it possible that stress is what's making my neck hurt?
It definitely can. Next time you're sitting in traffic, check where your shoulders are. Most people find them hiked halfway up to their ears, with their teeth clenched on top of it. Spend eight hours like that and of course your neck hurts by dinner.
Should I be using a heating pad or an ice pack?
Most stiff necks like heat better. Stand in a hot shower for a few minutes and you'll probably feel the muscles start to give. Ice makes more sense if you strained it in the last day or so.
I was in a car accident a long time ago and my neck still bugs me. Is it too late?
No, it isn't. Whiplash from years back is pretty common here, and some people wait five or ten years to deal with it. Stiff joints still loosen and weak muscles still get stronger, even after all that time.
Should I be wearing one of those neck collars?
Usually not. A collar keeps your neck from moving, and when a neck doesn't move it just gets stiffer. We'd much rather have you moving it gently.
