Neck Pain

Turning your head to check traffic, looking down at a phone, or finding a comfortable pillow can become difficult when your neck hurts. You may notice stiffness after a workday or a recurring ache that spreads across your shoulders.

At Boost Integrated Medical Center, we help patients in Reno explore care for neck pain and related movement limitations.

We begin with your symptoms and health history. Your care plan may include chiropractic care, physical rehabilitation, massage therapy, and trigger point injections when muscle pain is a contributing factor.

A Neck Pain Evaluation Built Around Your Routine

We want to understand when discomfort appears and how it affects your day. Is it worse during computer work? Does turning your head cause pain on one side? Has sleep become uncomfortable? Your answers help identify useful goals for treatment.

An evaluation may include checking neck movement and assessing surrounding muscles and related function. We also consider previous injuries, medical conditions, and any care you have already tried.

What Can Contribute to Neck Pain

The neck contains joints, muscles, discs, and nerves that work together to support and move your head. Symptoms can develop after an injury, repeated strain, or extended time in a position that becomes uncomfortable. Arthritis and disc changes may also play a role.

Neck muscle tension can occur alongside pain in other structures. This makes it important to evaluate how you move and where symptoms travel, rather than assuming tight muscles explain everything.

Tell us if pain extends into your arm or if you have tingling, numbness, or changes in strength. These symptoms may suggest nerve involvement. They deserve a different assessment from uncomplicated stiffness after a long day at your desk.

Chiropractic Care for Neck Discomfort

Chiropractic care may be considered for certain types of musculoskeletal neck pain. Manual treatment is selected according to your examination, comfort, and relevant health risks. We discuss the recommended approach before beginning care.

Different techniques involve different amounts of movement and force. A plan may include gentler methods where appropriate, alongside exercise and practical changes to your routine.

Tell your provider about dizziness, unusual headaches, vascular conditions, or prior neck surgery. Discussing medical history and the benefits and risks of treatment helps guide an informed decision.

Physical Rehabilitation and Workstation Habits

Physical rehabilitation may address neck mobility, upper back strength, and the muscles that support your shoulders. Exercises should start at a level you can tolerate and progress according to your response.

Use your workday as a starting point for manageable changes:

• Position your screen at a comfortable viewing height.
• Keep frequently used items within easy reach.
• Change positions regularly during longer tasks.
• Take brief movement breaks instead of staying still for hours.

Your setup should allow comfortable movement rather than force a rigid posture.

We can connect rehabilitation goals to the tasks you need to do, whether that means driving, working at a computer, or returning to exercise. Tell us which activities you most want to regain.

Massage Therapy and Trigger Point Injections

Massage therapy may help ease tightness in the neck, upper back, and shoulder muscles. Pressure should suit your symptoms, especially if an area is sensitive or recently injured. Massage can support a broader plan that includes movement and exercise.

Trigger point injections may be an option when an examination identifies tender muscle areas contributing to pain. They target a muscular component of discomfort and do not treat every cause of neck pain.

Your provider will discuss whether they are appropriate, explain relevant risks, and outline how they may fit with other care.
