Neck Pain

Understanding Neck Pain

Neck pain is incredibly common — and it is getting more so thanks to our screen-heavy lifestyles. Whether your neck is stiff from hours at a desk, sore from sleeping in an awkward position, or has been bothering you for longer than you can remember, we can help. At Banora Chiropractic, we gently assess your cervical spine and surrounding muscles to find out what is going on, and create a plan to help you move your neck freely again.

Common symptoms

• Stiffness or restricted movement when turning your head
• Aching or sharp pain in the neck or upper shoulders
• Headaches that start at the base of the skull
• Pain that radiates into the shoulders or arms
• A grinding or clicking feeling when moving your neck
• Tenderness in the muscles around your neck

How we may help

We will carefully assess your neck — checking your range of motion, palpating for areas of tension or restriction, and looking at your posture. Treatment may include gentle cervical adjustments, soft tissue work, and advice on workspace ergonomics. We will also show you stretches and exercises you can do at home to help manage your neck health.
