If you're struggling with neck pain, stiffness, or tension, you're in the right place—we’re upper neck specialists.

Whether you're experiencing sharp pain, muscle tightness, limited range of motion, or even grinding, clicking, or popping with movement, it’s very likely your symptoms are due to joint dysfunction in the upper cervical spine.

What Causes Neck Pain?

Neck pain can stem from a number of causes, but one of the most common—and often overlooked—is misalignment and restriction in the joints of the upper neck. This type of dysfunction can lead to:

• Muscle tightness and tension
• Decreased range of motion
• Pain that radiates into the shoulders or head
• Grinding or clicking sounds with movement
• Nerve irritation or pinching sensations

Postural stress, such as hours at a computer or looking down at your phone, can make it worse. Over time, uncorrected joint dysfunction can also lead to more serious, long-term conditions.

Don’t Wait—Chronic Neck Dysfunction Can Lead to Spinal Degeneration

Ignoring neck pain doesn’t just prolong discomfort—it can contribute to structural damage. When spinal joints are not moving properly, it leads to:

• Spinal arthritis (abnormal bone growth due to uneven stress)
• Disc degeneration (wearing down of the discs between vertebrae)
• Joint fusion or bone spurs that may crowd the spinal canal

These changes can eventually make the condition irreversible without surgery. That's why early intervention is key—and why so many of our patients find long-term relief through targeted upper cervical care.

How We Help with Neck Pain

Our first step is always precision imaging. At The Path Chiropractic, we use cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to capture a 3D image of your upper neck and skull. This advanced imaging allows us to:

• See the exact position and alignment of your cervical vertebrae
• Identify subtle joint dysfunctions that X-rays or physical exams can miss
• Create a highly specific, personalized correction plan

We then correct the misalignment with a gentle, image-guided adjustment tailored to your anatomy. Our technique is:

• Low-force and highly precise
• Designed to restore normal motion and nerve function
• Safe and non-invasive
