How does a chiropractor help with a stiff neck?

A chiropractor performs a clinical assessment of the cervical spine to identify joint restrictions or muscular tension. Management may include gentle mobilization techniques and postural advice to restore normal range of motion.

What causes neck pain and stiffness?

Common causes include prolonged poor posture (such as 'text neck'), repetitive strain, or minor injuries. A musculoskeletal examination helps determine the specific cause of the discomfort.
