Why Does Your Neck Hurt?
Your neck carries a big responsibility — it supports the full weight of your head (10–12 pounds) while allowing the widest range of motion of any part of your spine. That combination of mobility and load makes the cervical spine highly vulnerable to misalignment, muscle strain, and nerve compression.
For many Austin residents, neck pain is a daily companion. Hours spent looking down at phones, hunching over laptops, and driving in traffic gradually pull the cervical spine out of alignment. This “tech neck” epidemic has made neck pain one of the fastest-growing complaints we see at our office.
At Touch of Life Chiropractic, Dr. Todd Stranahan uses precise cervical adjustments to restore proper alignment, relieve nerve pressure, and eliminate the root cause of your neck pain — so you can move freely again.
Types of Neck Pain We Treat
Tech Neck / Text Neck
Forward head posture from phones and computers strains the cervical spine. For every inch your head moves forward, it adds 10 pounds of pressure on your neck.
Cervical Subluxations
Misaligned vertebrae in the upper spine that compress nerves and restrict motion. Often the hidden cause behind chronic stiffness, headaches, and radiating arm pain.
Whiplash Injuries
The sudden back-and-forth motion of a car accident damages soft tissue and destabilizes the cervical spine. Symptoms can appear days or weeks after the injury.
Cervical Disc Problems
Bulging or herniated discs in the neck can press on spinal nerves, causing sharp pain, numbness, or tingling that radiates into the shoulders, arms, and hands.
Muscle Tension & Spasms
Stress, poor posture, and overuse tighten the muscles of the neck and upper shoulders. When these muscles go into spasm, they can lock the cervical vertebrae out of position.
Pinched Nerves
Compressed nerves in the cervical spine cause shooting pain, weakness, or numbness into the arms and hands. Chiropractic adjustments can relieve the pressure without surgery.
How Dr. Todd Treats Neck Pain
The cervical spine requires a skilled, precise approach — it’s the most delicate region of your spine. Dr. Todd has over 20 years of experience delivering gentle, effective neck adjustments. Here’s how we help:
Cervical Evaluation
Dr. Todd examines your cervical spine, checks range of motion, and identifies exactly which vertebrae are misaligned and which nerves are affected.
Gentle Cervical Adjustment
Using precise, controlled techniques, Dr. Todd restores proper alignment to your neck vertebrae — relieving nerve pressure and restoring full range of motion.
Posture & Prevention Plan
You’ll receive ergonomic guidance, stretching exercises, and a personalized plan to keep your neck healthy — especially if you work at a desk or drive frequently.
Why Choose Chiropractic for Neck Pain?
✓ Gentle & Non-Invasive
Dr. Todd’s cervical adjustments are precise and controlled — no twisting or cracking. Many patients are surprised at how gentle and comfortable the treatment feels.
✓ Proven Effective
Research published in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that spinal manipulation was more effective for neck pain than medication — with longer-lasting results.
✓ Addresses the Root Cause
Muscle relaxers and pain pills only mask neck pain temporarily. Chiropractic care corrects the underlying misalignment so the pain stops coming back.
