'Half of the US population will experience some form of significant neck pain in their lifetime.'

If you suffer from neck pain, you already know that it can alter everything you do.

Sleeping, sitting, reading, working, driving, and virtually any movement can hurt.

Gentle Chiropractic Treatment For Neck Pain

Dr. Freitag uses gentle Activator chiropractic adjustments to adjust the small vertebrae in your neck.

 

Pain Relief Without Twisting Or Cracking  

The Activator device delivers a precise, gentle impulse that helps the bones in the neck move as they should. When normal motion returns, the area functions better, muscle tension eases, and pain often decreases.

Neck Structure and Function

The neck, or cervical spine, is the section of your spine that runs from just below the skull to where the neck meets the upper back.


Key features of this region

• It contains seven small vertebrae that support the weight of your head and allow movement in all directions.
• Discs, muscles, tendons, and ligaments provide cushioning and stability.
• Vertebral arteries travel through openings in these bones to reach the base of the skull.
• Spinal nerves exit between each pair of vertebrae and carry signals to the neck, upper back, arms, and hands.

 

What Causes Neck Pain?

Common Causes Include:

  • Injury

Injuries can strain muscles, ligaments, joints, discs, and nerves, leading to pain and stiffness. 

  • Growing Older

Age‑related changes like osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc disease can all contribute to neck pain.

  • Osteoarthritis

Cartilage wears down, and bone spurs can form, limiting movement.

  • Spinal Stenosis

Narrowed nerve openings can pinch nerves, causing pain, numbness, or tingling in the neck, shoulders, or arms.

  • Degenerative Disc Disease

Discs lose height and flexibility, sometimes bulging or herniating and irritating nearby nerves.

  • Daily Life

Poor posture, extra weight, weak core muscles, and stress can strain the neck. Over time, this can lead to chronic pain that may spread into the upper back and arms.

What can be done to manage neck pain?

Research shows that conservative chiropractic care, especially when paired with exercise and stretching, is more effective at relieving neck pain than over-the-counter pain relievers, opioids, and/or muscle relaxants.
