Neck Pain

Neck Pain Relief in Austin, TX

Is your neck being a real pain in the... neck? Whether it’s from too much screen time, a car accident, or just sleeping like a pretzel, neck pain can seriously cramp your style. At our Austin chiropractic and rehabilitation clinic, we specialize in getting to the root of your neck pain with detailed evaluations and individualized treatment plans that actually work.

What’s Going On in Your Neck?

Your neck (aka the cervical spine) is a delicate stack of seven vertebrae (C1–C7), supported by discs, ligaments, muscles, and nerves. It’s designed for mobility — but that flexibility also makes it vulnerable.

Common causes of neck pain include:

• Disc herniation or bulging

• Facet joint dysfunction

• Muscle strain or ligament sprain

• Whiplash from car accidents

• Poor posture or tech neck

• Degenerative disc disease

• Nerve compression (cervical radiculopathy)

Anatomy of Neck Pain

In a healthy neck:

• Discs cushion the vertebrae

• Facet joints guide motion

• Muscles and ligaments stabilize the spine

• Nerves exit through foramina to supply the arms and hands

When things go wrong:

• Discs can bulge or rupture, pressing on nerves

• Joints can become inflamed or restricted

• Muscles may spasm or weaken

• Nerves can become compressed, causing radiating pain

Our Evaluation Process

We don’t guess — we assess. Your visit includes:

• Medical history review and symptom discussion

• Imaging review (X-rays, MRIs) or referrals for new imaging

• Neurological and orthopedic testing

• Range of motion and postural analysis

• Functional movement screening

This helps us pinpoint the source of your pain and build a plan that’s as unique as your spine.

Why Early Treatment Matters

Research shows that early conservative care for neck pain:

• Reduces the risk of chronic pain

• Improves mobility and function

• Decreases reliance on medications

• Prevents compensatory injuries

Delaying care can lead to muscle atrophy, joint degeneration, and nerve irritation — not to mention frustration.

Treatment Options We Offer

Our Austin clinic provides a full toolbox of evidence-based therapies:

• Chiropractic adjustments to restore joint motion

• Soft tissue therapy (ART, Graston, cupping) to release tension

• Dry needling to calm overactive muscles

• Rehabilitative exercises to strengthen and stabilize

• Postural and ergonomic coaching to prevent recurrence

• McKenzie Method for disc-related neck pain and directional preference

Why Choose a Sports Chiropractor?

Sports chiropractors are trained to assess biomechanics, kinetic chains, and neuromuscular coordination — all essential for resolving neck pain at its root. We don’t just treat the pain; we retrain the system around it to move better and hurt less.

When to Seek Treatment

• If your neck pain lasts more than a few days

• If it radiates into your arms or causes numbness

• If it’s affecting your sleep, work, or workouts

• If you’re tired of “waiting it out” with no results

How Long Does Recovery Take?

Most patients begin to feel relief within 2–6 weeks, depending on the severity and chronicity of the condition. We’ll reassess regularly and adjust your care plan as you improve.
