Pain at the base of the skull or upper shoulders

Neck Pain Guide
Exercises Included in the PDF:
1. Cervical Side-Bending Isometric
Builds strength in the lateral neck muscles to improve stability and reduce pain during daily movement.
2. Cervical Retraction with Band Oscillations
Activates deep neck stabilizers and trains the neck to resist forward-head posture — a major cause of chronic neck pain.
3. Cervical Rotation Isometric
Strengthens the muscles that help you turn your head without pain.
4. Cervical Flexion Isometric
Targets the deep neck flexors, which are essential for posture and neck endurance.
5. Cervical Extension Isometric
Balances the neck by strengthening the posterior stabilizers.
These movements should feel gentle.
If any exercise makes pain worse or triggers radiating symptoms into the arm, stop and schedule a visit so we can evaluate what’s happening.
Why Your Neck Stays Sore (And What to Do About It)
Most neck pain comes from:
-
Weak deep neck stabilizers
-
Tight upper trapezius muscles
-
Forward head posture
-
Loss of normal joint mobility
-
Muscle imbalance between front and back of the neck
This is why treatment that focuses only on cracking or stretching often doesn’t give lasting relief.
Your neck needs a combination of mobility, strength, and alignment — in the right order.
Our Approach to Neck Pain Relief
Chiropractic Care
Restores joint motion, reduces irritation, and decreases muscle guarding.
Muscle Release & Activation
We release the tight muscles that are overworking and activate the ones that should be stabilizing.
Pilates-Based Rehab
Builds deep core and scapular strength for long-term stability.
This is where posture changes and pain finally stay away.
Gentle Nerve Work (If Needed)
If symptoms involve tingling or radiating pain, we use nerve glides and decompression strategies.
Spinal Decompression (If Appropriate)
Helpful for disc irritation or nerve root compression.
