Neck Pain Treatment in San Diego
Persistent neck pain limits everything — work, sleep, driving. We find the source and treat it with gentle, effective chiropractic care.
Why Your Neck Hurts
Your cervical spine supports roughly 10–12 pounds of head weight and allows more range of motion than any other spinal region. That flexibility makes it vulnerable. Whether your neck pain started after a car accident, developed gradually from desk work, or appeared seemingly out of nowhere, there's almost always an identifiable structural cause we can treat.
Common Causes of Neck Pain
Cervical Misalignment
Vertebrae out of position compress nerves and strain surrounding muscles.
Whiplash Injury
Sudden force stretches cervical ligaments beyond their limits, often with delayed symptoms.
Tech Neck / Poor Posture
Hours looking down at screens shifts head weight forward, straining the cervical spine.
Disc Problems
Bulging or herniated cervical discs can press on nerve roots, causing pain, numbness, or tingling.
