In short
- Neck pain is often caused by tension, screen work, or a wrong sleeping posture.
- Chiropractic treats blockages and tension in the cervical spine.
- Most neck pain is harmless and responds well to treatment.
- With loss of function, loss of strength, or neck pain after an accident: seek medical help first.
Causes of neck pain
The neck is a mobile and vulnerable area. Common causes of neck pain:
- Long screen work with a forward-bent head.
- Tension and stress, which keep the neck muscles cramped.
- A wrong sleeping posture or a poorly supporting pillow.
- A previous whiplash or other neck injury.
- One-sided strain, for example a heavy bag or sport.
What does the chiropractor do?
Your first visit includes an examination of your posture, the mobility of your neck, and the muscle tension around your head and shoulders. If blockages or tension are in charge of the picture, we work with gentle mobilisation of the cervical spine and exercises to help you relax. That also includes practical advice, for example for your workstation and the way you sleep. More about neck and shoulder complaints can be found on our condition page.
What can you do yourself?
- Make sure your head stays in a neutral position above your shoulders, also behind the screen.
- Stand up briefly every half hour and move your neck in a gentle way.
- Choose a pillow that supports your neck in a neutral position.
- Do not stand or sit in the same position for too long; change position regularly.

“For a few months I struggled with severe headaches and neck and shoulder pain that seriously limited my daily life. It got so bad that I sometimes felt powerless. I first tried to find relief with a Thai neck and shoulder massage, but unfortunately that did not help. On the advice of several acquaintances I decided to make an appointment with Dr. Malone, and that was absolutely the best choice I could have made. After just a few treatments I noticed a world of difference: my headaches are completely gone and the pain in my neck and shoulders is now almost gone. Although my treat”
