How We Can Help at Kind Chiropractic

We assess neck movement and your symptoms before discussing options. Care may include Gonstead adjustments, exercises and advice about daily activities when appropriate. You can decline neck manipulation, and medical assessment takes priority when needed.

What neck pain care at our clinic involves

Assessment first. We take a full history: when the pain started, where it sits, what eases it and what makes it worse. We then examine your posture, how far and how comfortably your neck turns, and the individual joints of the neck and upper back. If pain or tingling travels into your arm, we also check reflexes, strength and sensation. Imaging such as X-ray is only arranged when your history and examination show a clinical reason for it.

A clear explanation. Before any care you hear what we found, what we think is driving the pain, what we recommend and what results are realistic. If anything in the assessment points to a problem that needs a medical doctor first, we tell you and refer you.

Care options. We discuss the Gonstead method, potential risks, alternatives and whether neck manipulation is appropriate. You can choose not to have your neck manipulated.

Exercise and daily habits. Exercise and hands-on care may be options for neck pain, but study results vary and the evidence has limitations. We discuss suitable exercises and practical advice without promising a result.

Cervical spondylosis and age-related neck stiffness

Cervical spondylosis is the medical name for age-related wear of the discs and joints in the neck. It is very common: scans show these changes in many adults who have no neck pain at all, so a report that mentions spondylosis does not by itself explain your symptoms.

Chiropractic care cannot reverse wear in the joints. Whether hands-on care and exercise are appropriate depends on your assessment; improvement is not guaranteed. If you have spondylosis and notice symptoms such as clumsy hands, numbness or weakness in the arms or legs, or difficulty walking, these can be signs of pressure on the nerves or spinal cord and need a medical assessment first (see the warning signs below).

Neck pain from desk work and screens

Tell us how desk work and screen use affect your symptoms so we can discuss practical changes. For the full background on why necks hurt, read our guide to the causes of neck pain.

• Raise your screen so the top sits at eye level, and lift your phone instead of dropping your head
• Take a short movement break every 30 to 45 minutes
• Choose a pillow that keeps your neck level with your spine, and avoid sleeping on your stomach
• Keep the screen square in front of you rather than off to one side
