Neck pain often begins with hours spent looking down at a phone or computer, a whiplash injury from a car accident, or simply sleeping in an awkward position. Whatever the trigger, tight cervical muscles and restricted facet joints keep the pain locked in place and can trigger tension headaches that radiate up into the scalp. Wheat Chiropractic approaches neck pain with a combination of gentle cervical adjustments, manual muscle release, and posture correction. The doctors assess the curve of your cervical spine on X-ray, then use low-force techniques—including Activator instrument adjusting for patients who prefer a gentler approach—to restore normal joint motion. Most patients notice reduced stiffness and fewer headaches within the first few weeks of care, without relying on pain medication.
Chiropractic care addresses the joint restriction and muscle tension that cause neck pain, rather than masking it with painkillers. Dr. Wheat uses gentle cervical adjustments and muscle work, and most Lohman patients report less stiffness within the first few visits.
Cervical adjusting is gentle and controlled. If you are nervous about a traditional neck adjustment, the doctors can use the Activator instrument—a low-force hand tool that delivers a quick, light impulse. Patients from Lohman consistently find the experience comfortable.
Acute neck strain often resolves in 3–5 visits, while chronic tech neck or whiplash may need 6–12 weeks of corrective care. Your doctor provides a written plan with expected milestones at your report-of-findings visit.
Yes. Whiplash injuries respond well to early chiropractic intervention. If you have been in an accident, schedule as soon as possible—delaying treatment can lead to scar tissue and chronic stiffness. The office accepts auto-injury insurance claims.
