Neck Pain

A clear explanation of common symptoms, conservative care and when medical evaluation matters.

Understanding neck pain

Neck pain may be related to joints, muscles, posture, repetitive strain, injury or other causes. The first step is determining what appears to be driving the symptoms.

Symptoms people may notice

  • Pain or stiffness turning the head
  • Muscle tension
  • Pain after work, sleep or activity

How chiropractic evaluation fits

Dr. Keith evaluates the history, movement, involved joints and soft tissues, and neurologic findings when relevant. If the problem appears appropriate for conservative chiropractic care, he will explain the options. If not, referral or medical evaluation may be recommended.

Seek medical care promptly when needed.
New severe headache, significant trauma, fainting, fever, progressive weakness or new neurologic symptoms need prompt medical evaluation.
