Neck Pain

Understanding Neck Pain

Common Causes of Neck Pain

My Treatment Approach here in St. George Ut for Neck Pain

Neck pain can come from a variety of sources. The most common include:

• Poor posture (tech neck, slouching)

• Muscle strains or soft tissue injuries

• Joint irritation or facet joint syndrome

• Disc problems, such as bulging or irritation

• Repetitive stress or overuse

• Whiplash or trauma

• Awkward sleeping positions

• Spinal misalignments

Neck pain often causes muscles to spasm and pull on the spine, which can irritate nerves and lead to symptoms elsewhere in the body. This is why neck issues should never be overlooked.

Lasting Relief Through Chiropractic Care

Neck pain is a common issue I treat here at Altitude. It often results from poor posture, repetitive stress, or soft tissue strain, especially from long hours spent looking down at phones or computers. The neck is a small but vital part of the body that supports the head and connects it to the spine. When its alignment or mechanics are off, even slightly, it can lead to muscle tension, joint irritation, and nerve involvement that affect the rest of the body.

Many people try to ignore neck pain, hoping it will go away on its own. While that sometimes happens, untreated pain can return or worsen over time, limiting movement and even requiring surgery in severe cases. Identifying and addressing the root cause early is key to lasting relief.

While medications and massage may temporarily ease symptoms, they often don’t fix the root of the problem. Chiropractic care for neck pain focuses on correcting the underlying cause whether it's poor alignment, weak support muscles, or faulty movement patterns.

With my experience I’m committed to helping you not only feel better but move better too. With targeted adjustments, muscle therapies, and proper rehabilitation, I aim to restore healthy function and keep you active without limitations.

Don’t Let Neck Pain Hold You Back

I take a comprehensive approach to neck pain. Our goal is to relieve pain, restore proper function, and prevent it from coming back. I begin by identifying the specific cause of your discomfort, then create a personalized care plan tailored to your needs.

Treatments may include:

• Chiropractic Adjustments to realign the spine and reduce joint stress

• Soft Tissue Therapy using tools like dry needling, cupping, or scraping to relieve muscle tension

• Corrective Exercises to improve posture and mobility

• Lifestyle & Movement Coaching to build better habits and prevent re-injury

• Strength Training to stabilize the neck, shoulders, and upper back

Most patients experience noticeable relief within two weeks, though ongoing care may be recommended to build long-term strength and resilience.

Neck pain can impact everything from sleep to work to your ability to focus. But it doesn’t have to be permanent.
