Neck & Shoulder Pain Relief
Neck and shoulder pain often go together. When your neck is out of alignment, your shoulders compensate. When your shoulders are tense, your neck pays the price. It’s a cycle that can make it hard to turn your head, work at a computer, drive, or even sleep comfortably.
Here’s what’s often happening: poor posture from sitting at a desk all day. Or stress that makes you tense up. Or an old injury that never fully healed. Or spinal misalignment that’s putting extra strain on your muscles. Whatever the cause, the result is the same—tension, pain, and reduced mobility. Chiropractic care for neck and shoulder pain focuses on restoring proper spinal alignment and reducing that muscle tension. Through gentle adjustments, soft tissue work, and posture guidance, Dr. Duren helps relieve the tension and misalignment that’s causing your pain.
