Neck Pain

Chronic neck pain is most commonly caused by cumulative postural strain — particularly from prolonged screen use, desk work, or looking down at a phone — combined with cervical spine misalignments that develop over time. Other common causes include degenerative disc disease in the cervical spine, previous whiplash injuries that were not fully rehabilitated, and muscle imbalances that place uneven stress on the neck joints and soft tissues.

Yes. Postural neck pain from prolonged screen use — sometimes called tech neck — is one of the most common presentations we treat at Flexx. It involves forward head posture, rounded shoulders, and associated cervical muscle tension and joint compression. Chiropractic adjustments correct the cervical misalignments that develop from this posture, and our rehabilitation program addresses the muscular weaknesses that allow the posture to recur.

Acute neck pain typically responds within 3–6 sessions. Chronic neck pain or neck pain associated with disc problems or postural issues generally requires a longer program of 8–12 weeks combining chiropractic adjustments and rehabilitation exercises. We will give you a specific timeline at your initial evaluation based on your assessment findings.

Yes. Cervicogenic headaches — headaches that originate from dysfunction in the cervical spine and surrounding muscles — respond very well to chiropractic care. By correcting the cervical joint dysfunction and muscle tension driving the headaches, chiropractic adjustments can significantly reduce both the frequency and severity of this type of headache. We also treat migraines and TMJ-related headaches at Flexx.
