How We Treat Head & Neck Pain
Our approach to treating head and neck pain at Active Life Chiropractic combines evidence-based care, functional movement strategies, and a patient-first mindset. We don’t believe in quick fixes—we focus on treatments that create lasting change. Care often begins with precise chiropractic adjustments to restore joint mobility and relieve pressure on the nervous system. We complement this with soft tissue therapy—using hands-on and instrument-assisted techniques to reduce muscle tension, release fascial restrictions, and ease inflammation. For added support, we offer acupuncture to promote circulation, reduce pain, and enhance the body’s natural healing process. To ensure long-term results, we incorporate targeted rehabilitation, acupuncture, and postural retraining to improve motor control and help prevent future flare-ups.
