Neck Pain

 Neck pain commonly presents as stiffness, soreness, or restricted motion and may radiate into the shoulders or upper back. In many cases, symptoms originate from restricted joint motion, muscular overactivity, and poor movement control within the cervical spine—creating ongoing mechanical stress and discomfort.

Neck pain frequently develops due to repeated or prolonged stress, including:

• Poor posture and forward head positioning
• Prolonged screen use or sedentary work
• Muscle tightness in the neck and shoulders
• Repetitive movements or sustained positi
• Limited cervical spine mobility
• Previous neck strain or injury
   

Athletes and active individuals may also experience neck pain due to training load, improper mechanics, or inadequate recovery.

Common symptoms include stiffness, reduced range of motion, and pain that worsens with activity or prolonged positions. Persistent neck pain can interfere with work performance, training consistency, sleep quality, and overall daily comfort.

Care at Thrive Clinic begins with a comprehensive evaluation of posture, joint mobility, and movement control. Treatment plans are personalized and may include:

• Chiropractic care to restore cervical and upper spine joint mobility
• Soft tissue therapies to reduce muscle tension and improve circulation
• Physical therapy exercises to improve posture, strength, and motor control
• Corrective exercise and recovery strategies, when appropriate
   

This integrated approach addresses both symptoms and the underlying causes of neck pain for long-term improvement.

 When movement restrictions and mechanical dysfunctions are addressed, neck pain often becomes less frequent and far less limiting. You don’t have to manage ongoing neck pain on your own.
