Neck pain

A more complete way to look at the problem

Neck pain often comes with stiffness, shoulder tightness, headaches, or limited motion. We look for mechanical and lifestyle factors that may be contributing instead of assuming every neck needs the same treatment.

Dr. Corey Strunk providing individualized neck care at Firm Foundation Wellness Center in Keller, Texas

What we assess

Desk posture, driving, phone use, sleep position, upper-back mobility, joint restriction, muscle tension, shoulder mechanics, and movement habits.

Our approach

Care can combine specific chiropractic adjustments, soft-tissue work, mobility and strength exercises, and practical changes to reduce repeated irritation.

When to get checked

Persistent or recurring stiffness, headaches associated with neck tension, reduced range of motion, and symptoms that keep returning despite stretching or massage.

A closer look

Neck pain is rarely just about posture

Posture can influence symptoms, but there is no single perfect sitting position that prevents every problem. We look at how long you stay in one position, how often you move, upper-back mobility, neck range of motion, muscle endurance, sleep, stress, training, and the specific positions that reproduce symptoms.

That helps us build practical changes instead of simply telling you to sit up straighter all day.

When the shoulder, upper back, and headaches matter

The neck does not work in isolation. Shoulder mechanics and upper-back mobility can change how much work the neck has to do, and some headache patterns overlap with neck tension and restricted motion. The exam helps determine whether those regions are part of the same pattern or separate issues.

A plan should restore options, not create fear of movement

The goal is to regain comfortable motion and confidence while gradually improving the strength and tolerance needed for work, driving, exercise, and everyday life. Advice should be specific enough to be useful without making normal movement feel dangerous.

Common questions

Questions about neck pain

Why does my neck feel tight again after massage or stretching?

Tension can return when the underlying workload, joint motion, muscle endurance, sleep, stress, or movement pattern has not changed. A broader exam can help identify which factors are relevant for you.

Can desk work cause neck pain and headaches?

Long periods of screen work can contribute to neck and upper-back fatigue and may aggravate headache patterns in some people. We look at the entire workday pattern rather than blaming one posture.

Do you use only forceful neck adjustments?

No. Technique is individualized. Care can include hands-on or lower-force approaches, upper-back work, soft-tissue treatment, mobility, exercise, or referral depending on the findings and patient preference.
