Stiffness, headaches that start at the base of the skull, or pain that travels into your shoulder and arm. We find where it is coming from and help you turn your head freely again.
Understanding Neck Pain
Your neck balances a 10- to 12-pound head all day and protects the nerves that run to your shoulders, arms, and hands. Small problems here can cause pain in surprising places.
Hours looking down at phones and laptops ("tech neck"), sleeping in an awkward position, stress, and old injuries all load the joints and muscles of the neck. Over time, joints can lose normal motion, muscles tighten to compensate, and discs can be irritated.
When a nerve root in the neck is involved, pain, tingling, or weakness can travel into the shoulder blade, arm, or hand. Neck problems are also a common source of headaches.
