“After a car accident I couldn't turn my head for weeks. Dr. Propper got me in the next day and worked with my auto insurance. Within a month I had my full range of motion back. Can't recommend enough.”

Neck Pain
treated properly.
If you're waking up stiff, struggling to turn your head, or dealing with constant tension that radiates into your shoulders, you know how much neck pain limits your life. It affects your sleep, your focus at work, and your patience with the people you love. You've tried new pillows, heat pads, and over-the-counter pain relievers — but nothing makes it go away for good.
What causes it
What causes neck pain.
Neck pain often develops gradually, driven by habits and postures that put your cervical spine under constant strain.
- Hours spent hunched over a laptop or phone (tech neck)
- Sleeping in awkward positions
- Whiplash from car accidents — even minor fender-benders
- Stress and tension held in the shoulders and neck
- Degenerative changes in the cervical spine
- Poor workstation ergonomics

Questions patients ask
Neck Pain FAQs.
Is it safe to have my neck adjusted?
Yes. Cervical adjustments performed by a trained chiropractor are very safe. We use gentle, controlled techniques and always explain what we're doing before we do it. Many patients feel immediate relief.
Can chiropractic help with tech neck?
Absolutely. Tech neck is one of the most common conditions we treat. Adjustments combined with postural guidance and exercises can reverse the effects of prolonged screen time.
How often will I need to come in for neck pain?
Most neck pain patients start with 2-3 visits per week, tapering as symptoms improve. A typical course of care is 4-6 weeks. We'll give you a clear plan from the start.
