Comprehensive Assessment

Understanding Your Neck Pain

Chronic neck pain rarely has a single cause. Our functional medicine approach examines multiple factors contributing to your discomfort.

Common Symptoms

  • Persistent stiffness that worsens in the morning or after sitting
  • Sharp pain with head movement or rotation
  • Radiating pain into shoulders, arms, or upper back
  • Headaches originating from the base of the skull
  • Muscle spasms and tension in neck and upper shoulders
  • Numbness or tingling in hands or fingers
  • Reduced range of motion and difficulty turning head
  • Grinding sensations (crepitus) with neck movement

Root Causes We Address

  • Chronic inflammation from dietary triggers or systemic issues
  • Poor posture and ergonomic stress (tech neck)
  • Muscle imbalances and weakness in supporting structures
  • Cervical spine degeneration (arthritis, disc issues)
  • Nutritional deficiencies affecting tissue health
  • Stress and tension patterns
  • Previous injuries or whiplash
  • Sleep disorders and poor recovery

Why Traditional Treatment Often Falls Short

Conventional approaches typically focus on masking pain with medications or recommending surgery as a last resort. While these may provide temporary relief, they rarely address the underlying causes of chronic neck pain.

Our functional medicine approach identifies and treats the root causes—inflammation, structural issues, nutritional deficiencies, and lifestyle factors—to help you achieve lasting relief without dependency on medications.

Personalized Treatment Protocols

Our Functional Medicine Approach to Neck Pain

We combine cutting-edge diagnostics with proven therapeutic interventions to address every aspect of your neck pain.

Advanced Diagnostics

Comprehensive lab testing to identify inflammation markers, nutrient deficiencies, hormone imbalances, and metabolic factors contributing to pain and poor healing.

Anti-Inflammatory Protocols

Targeted nutritional interventions and supplements to reduce systemic inflammation that drives chronic pain and tissue damage in the cervical region.

Physical Rehabilitation

Customized exercise programs to strengthen neck stabilizers, correct postural imbalances, and restore proper cervical spine mechanics.

Manual Therapies

Hands-on treatments including soft tissue work, joint mobilization, and myofascial release to improve mobility and reduce pain immediately.

Stress Management

Mind-body techniques to address the stress-pain cycle, reduce muscle tension, and support nervous system regulation for better pain control.

Sleep Optimization

Strategies to improve sleep quality and recovery, including proper pillow support, sleep positioning, and addressing sleep disorders that worsen pain.
