Chiropractic Neck Adjustments: Personalized Care for Pain Relief & Better Movement

Neck pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility affect millions of people each year. Chiropractic care is commonly used to address these issues — but effective care depends on using the right technique for the right patient.

Potential Benefits of Chiropractic Neck Adjustments

Current evidence suggests that cervical spinal manipulation or mobilization may help:
• Reduce neck pain and stiffness
• Improve joint mobility and range of motion
• Decrease muscle tension and guarding
• Improve daily function and activity tolerance
• Support headache relief in certain patients

Outcomes tend to be better when chiropractic care is combined with exercise and movement-based interventions rather than used alone.

Why We Use Multiple Adjustment Techniques

There is no single “best” neck adjustment technique for everyone. At Active Health Chiropractic, we choose the technique based on each patient’s unique presentation.

We may use:
• Manual cervical adjustments
• Gentle mobilization techniques
• Instrument-assisted adjusting (Activator)
• Drop-table or low-force methods

The approach is selected based on your exam findings, medical history, comfort level, and personal preferences.

How Neck Adjustments Fit Into Your Care Plan

Neck adjustments are rarely performed in isolation. A comprehensive approach often includes:
✔ Targeted stretching
✔ Strength and stability exercises
✔ Postural and ergonomic education
✔ Lifestyle and movement guidance

Our focus is not just symptom relief, but improving how your neck moves and functions long-term.

Our Philosophy

We don’t believe in aggressive, one-size-fits-all care. We focus on safe, individualized, evidence-informed treatment designed to help you move better and feel better.

If neck pain or stiffness is affecting your daily life, chiropractic care may be an appropriate option.
