Helping You Move Better and Feel Better
Neck pain can affect nearly every part of your day. Whether you're working at a computer, driving, exercising, sleeping, or simply turning your head, neck discomfort can make routine activities frustrating and uncomfortable.
At Depretis Chiropractic and Total Wellness, we evaluate and treat a wide range of neck conditions by identifying the underlying cause of symptoms and developing individualized treatment plans designed to improve mobility, reduce pain, and restore function.
Whether your symptoms developed from poor posture, a sports injury, an auto accident, or years of everyday wear and tear, understanding the cause is the first step toward lasting relief.
Common Causes of Neck Pain
Neck pain can develop for many different reasons, including:
- ✓Poor posture
- ✓Muscle tension
- ✓Joint dysfunction
- ✓Disc injuries
- ✓Arthritis
- ✓Whiplash injuries
- ✓Sports injuries
- ✓Work related stress
- ✓Repetitive strain
- ✓Mobility restrictions
Many patients experience a combination of factors that contribute to their symptoms, making a comprehensive evaluation important.
Why Does Neck Pain Keep Coming Back?
For many people, neck pain becomes a recurring problem.
This often happens because the underlying factors contributing to the condition remain unchanged.
Common contributors include:
- ✓Forward head posture
- ✓Prolonged computer use
- ✓Phone and tablet use
- ✓Reduced mobility
- ✓Muscle imbalances
- ✓Previous injuries
- ✓Poor movement habits
Addressing these factors is often just as important as reducing pain itself.

Every patient receives a comprehensive evaluation before treatment recommendations are made.
Depending on your symptoms, this may include:
- ✓Health history review
- ✓Orthopedic testing
- ✓Neurological assessment
- ✓Range of motion testing
- ✓Functional movement assessment
- ✓Postural evaluation
- ✓Digital X-rays when clinically appropriate
The goal is to identify the source of the problem and determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
How We Treat Neck Pain
Treatment recommendations are customized based on the patient's condition, symptoms, and goals.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments may be incorporated into treatment plans to improve mobility, restore normal joint motion, and reduce mechanical stress affecting the cervical spine.
Treatment may include manual adjustments, Activator®, or ArthroStim® techniques depending on the patient's needs and preferences.
Cervical Decompression Therapy
For certain neck conditions, cervical decompression therapy may be incorporated into treatment plans to help reduce stress affecting structures within the neck.
This treatment is commonly considered for conditions involving:
- • Disc injuries
- • Disc herniations
- • Arm pain
- • Numbness and tingling
- • Chronic neck pain
Soft Tissue and Physiotherapy Treatments
Depending on the condition, treatment may also include:
- • Electric muscle stimulation
- • Cupping therapy
- • IASTM
These treatments may help address muscular tension and soft tissue restrictions that often accompany neck pain.
Rehabilitation and Movement Recommendations
Improving symptoms is only part of the process.
Depending on your condition, recommendations may include:
- • Mobility exercises
- • Stretching routines
- • Postural exercises
- • Ergonomic recommendations
- • Activity modifications
The goal is to improve long term function while reducing the likelihood of recurring problems.
Neck Pain, Headaches, and Posture
Many patients experiencing neck pain also report:
- •Headaches
- •Upper back tension
- •Shoulder tightness
- •Reduced mobility
- •Postural fatigue
Because these issues are often connected, treatment frequently focuses on improving overall movement and function rather than simply treating a single painful area.
Our Approach to Neck Pain Treatment
At Depretis Chiropractic and Total Wellness, we focus on identifying why neck pain is occurring rather than simply masking symptoms.
Treatment may include chiropractic adjustments, cervical decompression therapy, physiotherapies, rehabilitation exercises, and movement based recommendations depending on your specific needs.
Our goal is to help patients reduce pain, improve mobility, and return to work, exercise, hobbies, and everyday activities with greater comfort and confidence.
