Neck pain can occur anywhere from the top of your head to the top of your shoulders. It is common for people to report tight muscles or knots in the head and face, as well as in the base of the neck and the shoulders. Sometimes the pain radiates down to the arms or into the mid-back.

Tension headaches are common among patients who complain of neck and shoulder pain and decreased neck range of motion. Neck and shoulder pain is often caused by strain, such as long hours of reading, working at a computer, working overhead, painting or construction, whiplash-type injuries, slouching, and poor posture, or “sleeping wrong”.

Treatment: Our team will work with you to determine if the pain is coming from the bones, ligaments and tendons, the muscles, the nervous system, an infection, a biochemical process, or tension from daily living.

Depending on your individual presentation, we will rule out severe trauma and recommend a course of treatment to rehabilitate your neck and help your body heal.
