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.
