💢 Neck Pain

Neck pain can totally ruin your day! Whether it’s from long hours at your desk, a poor night’s sleep, or a car accident, most of us have experienced neck pain at some point in our lives. In fact, 50% to 70% of people in the U.S. will experience neck pain during their lifetime, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.

But here’s the good news: you don’t have to live with it forever. Chiropractic care may be the solution you’ve been searching for — safe, natural, and tailored to your needs.

🔍 What’s Causing Your Neck Pain?

Let’s take a closer look at what might be behind your stiff or aching neck.

📱 Poor posture is a leading cause — slouching at your desk, bending over your phone, or watching TV from an awkward angle can all strain your neck muscles.
🩹 Scar tissue may develop over time from repetitive tension, limiting mobility and increasing discomfort.
🚗 Injuries, like whiplash from car accidents or sudden impacts, can cause inflammation, stiffness, and long-term pain if not addressed.
😖 Stress and tension also play a huge role. Chronic stress can lead to muscle tightness and exacerbate neck pain. Learn more in this Harvard Health article on stress and pain.
💥 Headaches and jaw dysfunction (TMJ) are often associated with neck pain as well.

These contributing factors highlight just how interconnected your body is — and why a comprehensive treatment approach is key.

✅ Is Spinal Manipulative Therapy (SMT) Safe for Neck Pain?

Absolutely!

Spinal Manipulative Therapy (SMT), commonly referred to as chiropractic adjustments, is a safe and effective way to manage neck pain without the use of drugs or surgery.

📊 A JAMA Network study confirmed that spinal manipulation can provide significant relief for acute and chronic neck pain, improving both pain levels and mobility.

👐 Licensed chiropractors use precise, gentle techniques to restore joint motion and reduce muscle tension.
💡 Non-invasive and personalized, SMT is tailored to each patient’s specific anatomy and condition.
🧠 Chiropractic care may also stimulate the nervous system and support the body’s natural healing response.

At Aquarius Chiropractic, our chiropractor is fully trained in SMT and develops custom treatment plans based on your unique presentation. If we believe a referral is in your best interest, we’ll ensure you’re connected to the appropriate specialist — because your safety and recovery are our top priorities.
