Questions & Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
What causes a stiff neck?
Most stiff necks come from muscle strain, poor posture, sleeping in an awkward position, or wear and tear on the joints. Stress can tighten the muscles too. Our team examines your movement and posture to find what is contributing to your pain.
Can a chiropractor help with neck pain?
A chiropractor can help some people with neck pain by easing joint stiffness and muscle tension. NCCIH notes that research on spinal manipulation for neck pain is limited, so we favor low-force techniques and combine them with exercises and other therapies.
Is acupuncture good for neck pain?
It can help. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) reports that acupuncture worked better than no treatment or sham acupuncture for neck pain. We offer traditional, electric, and laser acupuncture, and we'll talk through which type fits you.
How can I prevent neck pain from coming back?
Small habits make a big difference: take breaks from screens, keep your screen at eye level, and stay active. Dr. Meier gives you stretches and posture tips that match your routine, and functional training can strengthen the muscles that support your neck.
