NECK & HEAD
Neck Pain, Headaches, and TMJ Dysfunction
Chronic neck tension, debilitating headaches, or TMJ discomfort can affect nearly every part of your day—from how you sleep to how you focus at work. At our chiropractic clinic, we specialize in diagnosing and treating neck and head-related issues with non-invasive, hands-on care that targets the root cause. Whether you're suffering from stiff muscles, nerve compression, or jaw dysfunction, we offer customized treatment plans that bring real, lasting relief.
Why Are Head & Neck Pain Common?
Your neck supports the weight of your head—up to 12 pounds—and allows for a wide range of motion. However, this mobility also makes it vulnerable to strain, injury, and misalignment. Combine that with today’s sedentary lifestyle, frequent tech use, or past injuries, and it’s easy to see why so many people develop neck-related pain or tension headaches.
Chiropractic care is a proven, drug-free approach that focuses on spinal alignment, nerve function, and muscular balance to relieve pain and restore mobility.
Neck Pain
Neck pain is one of the most common conditions we treat. It may result from poor posture, whiplash, repetitive motion, arthritis, or spinal misalignment. Symptoms can include stiffness, limited range of motion, burning or aching pain, and even radiating discomfort into the shoulders or arms.
Our chiropractic adjustments realign the cervical spine, reduce muscle tension, and improve mobility. We also incorporate soft tissue therapy and posture correction strategies to prevent the pain from returning.
Cervical Disc Issues
Cervical disc problems can result in neck pain, headaches, or even radiating pain down the arms. We provide cervical spine adjustments and therapeutic exercises to stabilize the neck and reduce inflammation caused by disc damage.
Headaches & Migraines
Frequent headaches or migraines can disrupt your work, sleep, and relationships. Many headaches are cervicogenic in origin—meaning they’re caused by tension, stiffness, or misalignment in the neck. This is especially true for tension-type headaches, which stem from tight muscles and restricted cervical joints.
Migraines, on the other hand, may involve complex neurological triggers but can still be influenced by spinal dysfunction and nerve irritation.
Our chiropractic treatment for headaches includes:
- Gentle cervical spine adjustments to reduce tension and nerve pressure
- Postural correction to relieve muscular strain
- Lifestyle recommendations to identify and manage headache triggers
- Myofascial and trigger point release to reduce soft tissue stress
We help patients significantly reduce the frequency and severity of their headaches without the side effects of prescription medications.
TMJ
TMJ dysfunction refers to pain or dysfunction in the joint that connects your jawbone to your skull. Common symptoms include jaw clicking or popping, facial pain, limited ability to open your mouth, and headaches.
TMJ issues often result from:
- Muscle tension in the jaw and neck
- Clenching or grinding (bruxism)
- Poor jaw alignment
- Postural imbalance or previous injury
While many people don’t realize it, chiropractic care can be highly effective in addressing TMJ symptoms. We focus on:
- Realigning the cervical spine to reduce jaw tension
- Releasing trigger points in the muscles of the neck, shoulders, and jaw
- Correcting posture to take pressure off the jaw joint
- Working in coordination with dentists or oral health providers when needed
