Neck Pain

Uncover the complexity of neck pain. Explore its origins, treatments, and long-term management strategies for improved quality of life.

Provider assessing a patient's neck pain

Neck Pain, although felt in the neck, can be caused by problems related to the spinal cord. This means Neck Pain can be caused by tight muscles in the upper back as well as in the neck. Joints in the neck and upper back can stiffen and cause neck pain as well. The most common long-term cause for neck pain is osteoarthritis, and this results in the neck being the most common area for spinal surgery.

Common Causes of Neck Pain

  • Poor posture from desk work, driving, or phone use
  • Muscle strain or overuse in the neck and upper back
  • Herniated or bulging discs in the cervical spine
  • Whiplash injuries from car accidents or falls
  • Osteoarthritis affecting the joints of the neck

When to Seek Treatment for Neck Pain

Neck pain that lasts more than a few days, limits your range of motion, or radiates into your shoulders and arms is a sign it's time to seek professional care. Left untreated, chronic neck pain can lead to worsening joint degeneration over time.

Why Choose Impact for Neck Pain Relief

Impact's providers combine chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression, and physical therapy to relieve pressure on the neck and restore mobility, addressing the root cause rather than just masking the symptoms.

Impact Health & Wellness has had a very positive “Impact” on my health. I needed knee joint replacement surgery but I was over weight. Their monitored weight loss program helped me lose 50# gradually, safely over 6 months. I then had the surgery and they helped me with my PT and got me moving and to a great place in just 3 months! I completely recommend Impact Health and Wellness.

That was one of the better doctor visits I’ve ever had. He sat and listened to me and explained everything there wasn’t 500 people in the waiting room made you feel like a puppy meal. They did a great job. Highly recommend.

Staff is personal as well as professional. PT professional, Eve, is compassionate and attentive to questions & concerns . She explains thoroughly The steps she’ll be using in knee replacement therapy and equipment necessary. She even came to my home to check the surroundings & demonstrated how to maneuver many of tasks that could be a struggle. I trust her judgment and expertise. I highly recommend this facility for care.

I couldn’t be happier with Dr. Wilcox, Gerald and Caroline! I had a total knee replacement on 6/3 and am already getting around like a champ. Kind, professional and responsive! 10 stars!

This place is so amazing!!! Nick really knows what he is doing. His memory is crazy, he remembers details about every patient like a super computer. I came in with knee and back pain and he was able to identify exactly what was wrong, and things I had no idea about like having and extra long spine and and extra rib bones. We have a plan on how to fix this, and I already feel so much better after a few sessions. Can’t recommend enough!

I’ve been going to chiropractors on and off for years, so I understand how adjustments work. I felt the office was very nice, well organized and clean. Had top of the line equipment and treatment options. Everyone I came into contact with was friendly and helpful. Dr. Nick was very knowledgeable, efficient and truly cared about how I was feeling and how he could help. I noticed his interactions were the same across every patient he made contact with was treated the same. Very busy office, but well run practice and I never felt rushed or like a number. Based upon my visit and experience, I will be returning for more treatments and would recommend to family and friends! So glad I found this practice!
