Neck pain is pain or stiffness in the cervical spine and the muscles that connect the head, shoulders and upper back. We treat the neck together with the mid-back, shoulder blades, jaw and breathing, because neck pain rarely starts in the neck alone.

We never share your information. Please do not include medical details.
Neck pain often builds from hours at a desk or on a phone, sleeping in an awkward position, stress, or an injury such as whiplash. The neck carries the weight of the head all day, so when the upper back is stiff or the deep neck muscles are weak, the joints and muscles of the neck take on more strain than they should.
Get emergency care for neck pain after a significant trauma, or with sudden severe headache, loss of coordination, trouble speaking or swallowing, or progressive arm weakness.
We take your description of the pain seriously and ask about your work set-up, sleep, stress and any past injuries. Then we assess how your neck, upper back, shoulder blades and jaw move, and how you breathe. Treatment combines hands-on care to restore motion with exercises that rebuild posture and endurance, so relief lasts after you leave the office.
Adjustments and mobilization of the neck and upper back restore joint motion and reduce stiffness and pain.
Physical therapy strengthens deep neck and shoulder-blade muscles, retrains posture for desk work and phones, and may include dry needling for stubborn trigger points.
Massage releases tension in the upper trapezius, levator scapulae and suboccipital muscles that often cause neck pain and headaches.
Acupuncture can ease muscle tension and pain and is often helpful when stress is a big part of the picture.
When chronic stress or poor sleep keeps the neck and shoulders tense, neurofeedback can help the nervous system learn to settle.
Most plans combine two or more of these services, chosen together with you, and your providers share one plan so every visit builds on the last.
Yes. Holding the head forward for hours increases the load on the neck. We address posture by improving mobility and strength, not just by telling you to sit up straight.
Neck adjustments are performed only after a thorough exam, and we use gentle mobilization and other techniques when adjustments are not the right choice for you.
We will give you a short set of movement and breathing breaks plus workstation tips that fit your day.
No referral is needed. We accept health insurance as an out-of-network provider, as well as auto insurance claims and workers’ compensation claims, and every service can also be paid directly or through a monthly membership. Call (303) 465-6332 or request a free consultation to get started.
This page is general education, not a diagnosis or a substitute for an exam. If your symptoms are severe or getting worse quickly, contact your physician or call 911.
We take your word for how you describe your symptoms and your condition. We never dismiss what you feel.
With severe and chronic conditions, we spend the time to consider every potential cause instead of only treating surface symptoms.
Care is built on the movements you use every day, constant core activation, proper functional movement patterns and proper breathing mechanics.
Nobody is built the same or has been through the same things, so no two treatment plans are alike.
Tell us what you're feeling in your own words. We'll listen, look at the whole picture and build a plan around you.
