Neck Pain
We assess how the neck, shoulders and mid-back are working together, since these links often influence one another.
The chain behind neck pain
The neck is often the last link to complain. A restricted ankle or hip alters your gait and posture, the mid-back rounds, and the neck cranes forward to keep your eyes level — irritating the nerves that run your head, jaw and shoulders. So yes, an ankle can quietly feed neck pain. We test how your lower body and mid-back are loading the neck.
It all runs through one system: your nervous system reads the chain of fascia, muscles and ligaments and decides how you move, brace and feel pain. Change the input, and the output changes.
We don't guess. In your visit we test movement, strength and how your nervous system is loading the whole chain — foot to skull — to uncover the weak areas and determine the true root of the issue. Then we build your plan around exactly what we find.
With neck pain, where it shows up isn't always where it starts.
The neck carries your head and houses some of the body's most important position sensors. It's often overworking for a stiff upper back, a tense jaw or shoulders that have lost their glide.
