Our necks are remarkably strong, supporting the full weight of our heads—an average of 12 pounds—while providing a wide range of motion and flexibility. However, this demanding role makes the neck prone to discomfort and strain.
The cervical spine, located in the neck, is constantly active, so it’s no surprise that it’s vulnerable to injury. Chiropractic care offers a safe and effective solution for addressing neck discomfort and related issues. With extensive experience treating neck concerns, we provide expert care to help our patients find relief and restore function.

Why Does My Neck Hurt?
As mentioned, most people regularly use the neck’s tissues and spine, which can easily cause imbalance and dysfunction. However, some are more inclined to neck pain than others. Understanding the reason for neck pain is incredibly important for fixing the problem.
Neck pain can be caused by many everyday events or habits, including:
- Repetitive activity
- Poor posture
- Sitting at a desk for extended periods
- Sedentary behavior
- Occupation
- An accident
- A surgery
- Sports or athletics
- Improper lifting technique
- Stress, anxiety, and depression
- Regular wear and tear
These unique norms can impact your neck’s function and create any number of injuries or conditions; some include:
- Whiplash
- Muscle strain
- Pinched nerve
- Arthritis
- Disc herniation or degenerative disc disease
- Tech neck or text neck
Partnering with your local chiropractor is a great way to find the cause of your neck discomfort and learn how to better support your body, reducing your risk of re-injury.

Ending Neck Pain with Chiropractic Care
Good neck health is imperative to overall body function, so proper care is essential when pain appears. Balanced body mechanics rely on the seamless collaboration of the spine, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. When certain areas can’t perform as needed, imbalances can lead to discomfort and further complications.
Visiting a chiropractor is a responsible and effective first step for addressing neck discomfort. Chiropractors can quickly assess the issue and, in many cases, provide immediate pain relief depending on the root cause.
Neck pain is your body’s way of signaling for help—don’t ignore it. We specialize in neck adjustments, stretching and strengthening techniques, and tissue therapies that target the pain’s source and foster long-term relief.
Our Anaheim chiropractor is dedicated to creating a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to alleviate your discomfort and address its underlying cause, ensuring you find both relief and improved function safely and efficiently.
Chiropractic Treatments for Neck Pain
At Lincoln Chiropractic, we offer numerous comprehensive treatments for neck pain. Our methods never inspire further trauma but work with the body, restoring function with gentle techniques to empower natural healing.
Chiropractic adjustments to treat neck pain
Adjusting the spine or spinal manipulation can quickly reduce neck pain and stiffness, improving the patient’s spinal mobility, range of motion, and flexibility. Neck adjustments often relieve tension and pressure within the neck through manual techniques using a targeted thrust to the affected area.
Electrical muscle stimulation (E-stim) to treat neck pain
E-stim, or electric stim, is a safe and painless therapy that applies a mild electrical current to affected muscles through electrodes placed strategically on or around the neck.
Ultrasound to treat neck pain
Using high-frequency sound waves, we can treat neck discomfort. The deep heat provided heals the neck muscles and other affected soft tissues, allowing for pain management and improved range of motion and flexibility.
Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) to treat neck pain
Using a specially designed tool, we can expedite soft tissue healing by targeting scar tissue (adhesions) for fast, effective breakdown. Because adhesions can lead to neck pain, stiffness, and motion loss, when they are treated effectively, function is restored.
Therapeutic exercises to treat neck pain
Knowing how to encourage strength and proper movement after an injury is paramount to function. Our team will create a uniquely designed therapeutic exercise plan based on your needs to get you moving safely again. These exercises will be taught for easy use at home, empowering you to take part in your healing journey and keep your good results.
