Neck Pain
Relief for stiff, tense, and restricted necks.
Neck pain often traces back to posture, screen time, sleep position, muscle tension, or stiff joints in the neck. It can also contribute to tension headaches and shoulder discomfort.
Common signs and symptoms
- Stiffness or reduced range of motion when turning the head
- Aching or tightness at the base of the skull or across the shoulders
- Tension headaches associated with neck mechanics
- Discomfort worsened by prolonged sitting or screen use
- Muscle knots or tenderness along the neck and upper back
How we approach it
After a postural and movement assessment, care may combine gentle, specific adjustments with soft tissue work. Dr. Rodis adapts technique to your comfort and reviews the plan with you first.
When to seek care
Consider an evaluation if neck stiffness or pain lingers, recurs, or affects your sleep and daily activity. Seek prompt medical attention if neck pain follows a significant injury or is accompanied by numbness, weakness, radiating arm pain, dizziness, or severe headache.
