Struggling with Neck Pain?
We Are Here To HelpModern life often places a lot of strain on the neck—especially through prolonged screen time, poor posture, and stress. Over time, this can lead to imbalances such as forward head posture, which places extra pressure on the joints, muscles, and nerves in the neck. If left untreated, this can develop into chronic discomfort, stiffness, or even headaches.
At Lichfield Chiropractic Clinic, we take a thorough, hands-on approach to relieve pain, restore mobility, and help prevent future flare-ups.
Common Causes of Neck Pain
Neck pain doesn’t always start with a sudden injury — in fact, it’s often the result of everyday habits. Sitting at a desk for long periods, craning your neck to check your phone, or writing with your head down can gradually place pressure on the joints and muscles in your neck.
We regularly see patients whose symptoms are linked to:
- Poor desk or monitor setup at work
- Long hours on mobile devices
- Forward head posture
- Uneven muscle tension caused by posture or routine
Small changes to your environment — such as adjusting your screen height or the way you sit — can make a big difference over time.
The Role of Stress and Movement
It’s common to carry stress in your shoulders and neck, especially during busy or high-pressure periods. This can cause the muscles around the neck and upper spine to tighten, reducing movement and placing extra load on the spinal joints.
Keeping the neck moving, within your comfort zone, is key. When the neck stiffens up from lack of motion, the surrounding joints can become inflamed, often making the pain worse. Simple, gentle movements done regularly can help reduce this cycle of stiffness and discomfort.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
At Lichfield Chiropractic Clinic, we take the time to understand the root cause of your neck pain before beginning treatment. If your pain is related to posture, stress, or joint restriction, hands-on chiropractic care may help restore movement and ease the pressure on affected areas.
We also focus on giving personalised guidance – from posture advice to stretches you can safely do at home. This way, you’re not just getting short-term relief, but long-term tools to prevent it coming back.
If you’re dealing with persistent neck pain and aren’t sure where to start, we’re happy to talk it through and help you move forward with confidence.
