What Causes Neck Pain?

The cervical spine — the seven vertebrae that make up the neck — is one of the most mobile and load-bearing areas of the spine. Common contributors to neck pain include:

  • Prolonged screen time and forward-head posture
  • Muscle tension from stress or sustained awkward positions
  • Joint dysfunction in the cervical vertebrae
  • Disc bulges or herniations in the neck
  • Whiplash-type injuries from car accidents or sports
  • Degenerative changes in the cervical spine

Neck pain may also be associated with headaches, shoulder tension, or arm tingling, depending on the structures involved. A proper assessment helps identify the source before any care is recommended.

How Chiropractic May Help Neck Pain

When cervical joints are restricted or not moving normally, they may contribute to the muscle tightness, stiffness, and discomfort commonly associated with neck pain. Chiropractic care focuses on identifying and addressing these areas of dysfunction.

At Divine Spine Millwoods, Dr. Jaffery uses the ProAdjuster — a computerized, instrument-based system — to assess the cervical spine and deliver precise, gentle adjustments. The ProAdjuster does not involve manual twisting or cracking of the neck, which many patients find reassuring. Research suggests that chiropractic care may play a supportive role in managing certain types of neck pain, though individual results vary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the ProAdjuster safe for neck adjustments?

The ProAdjuster is a low-force, instrument-based tool that allows Dr. Jaffery to work on the cervical spine without manual thrusting. Many patients who are apprehensive about neck manipulation find this approach more comfortable. Dr. Jaffery will always discuss your options and assess your case before proceeding with any treatment.

My neck pain comes with headaches — can you help?

Neck dysfunction is a common contributor to certain types of headaches. Dr. Jaffery will assess both areas during your New Patient Exam and discuss findings with you. We also offer a dedicated headache assessment page if you would like more information on that topic.

How many visits will I need?

This depends on the nature and duration of your neck pain. Dr. Jaffery will give you an honest care plan recommendation based on his assessment findings. Individual timelines vary and nothing is required to be committed to at your first visit.

When Should You See a Chiropractor for Neck Pain?

If your neck pain has lasted more than a few days, is limiting your range of motion, or is affecting your sleep or daily function, an assessment is a reasonable next step. Early evaluation may help identify the contributing factors and support appropriate management.

How Dr. Ali Jaffery Uses the ProAdjuster for Neck Pain

The ProAdjuster is well-suited for neck pain assessment and care. The upper cervical spine is a common source of neck stiffness, radiating pain, and headaches, and the ProAdjuster’s electronic analysis identifies restricted segments with precision. Dr. Jaffery applies the adjusting instrument directly to affected cervical vertebrae, delivering a gentle, targeted impulse without cracking or manual manipulation of the neck — an approach many patients find more comfortable, particularly those who have been hesitant about traditional chiropractic techniques.
