Neck Pain Relief in Lake Oswego, Oregon
We Specialize in Neck & Back Adjustments
Neck pain can affect everything from your ability to focus at work to how well you sleep at night. Whether it's a dull ache that's crept in over time, sharp pain that limits how far you can turn your head, or stiffness following an accident, our Lake Oswego chiropractic team can help identify what's causing your discomfort and create a plan to relieve it.
Common Causes of Neck Pain
Neck pain has many possible causes, and pinpointing the right one matters for effective treatment. We commonly see patients with:
- Tech neck and posture-related strain from phones, computers, and desk work
- Whiplash and injuries from car accidents
- Pinched nerves and radiating pain into the shoulders or arms
- Tension headaches linked to neck and upper back tightness
- Sleeping positions and pillow-related strain
- Sports injuries and repetitive motion strain
- Degenerative changes in the cervical spine
How Our Chiropractors Treat Neck Pain
Your neck supports the weight of your head and houses nerves that connect to much of your upper body, so even small misalignments can cause outsized discomfort. Our approach typically includes:
At Modern Chiropractic, we take a whole-body approach to back pain rather than just masking symptoms. After a thorough evaluation to understand the source of your discomfort, your chiropractor will build a treatment plan that may include:
- Chiropractic adjustments to restore proper alignment and relieve pressure on nerves and joints
- Massage therapy to release tight muscles and improve circulation around the spine
- Laser therapy to reduce inflammation and accelerate tissue healing
- Shockwave therapy for chronic or stubborn pain that hasn't responded to other treatments
- Acupuncture to support pain relief and relaxation
- At-home exercises and stretches tailored to your specific condition, so you can keep improving between visits
When to See a Chiropractor for Neck Pain
Neck pain often gets worse the longer it's ignored, especially when it's related to posture or an old injury that never fully healed. It may be time to schedule a visit if you're noticing:
-
Neck pain or stiffness that lasts more than a few days
-
Reduced range of motion when turning or tilting your head
-
Headaches that seem to start at the base of your skull or neck
-
Pain or tingling that radiates into your shoulders, arms, or hands
-
Neck pain that began after a car accident, fall, or sports injury
