Understanding Head & Neck Pain

Head and neck pain are among the most common causes of daily discomfort—impacting your focus, posture, and overall quality of life. Whether caused by muscle strain, nerve compression, poor posture, or injury, neck pain can lead to tension headaches, stiffness, and fatigue that affect how you move and feel.

At The Spine & Health Center of New Jersey, our multidisciplinary team of chiropractors, physical therapists, acupuncturists, and rehabilitation specialists work together to diagnose the root cause of your pain—not just mask the symptoms.

With offices in Closter, Montvale, and Park Ridge, we provide comprehensive, non-surgical solutions for patients across Bergen County, NJ.

Common Causes of Head & Neck Pain

Head and neck pain can stem from various factors, including lifestyle, posture, and injury. Common causes include:

  • Poor posture or “tech neck” from prolonged phone or computer use
  • Muscle tension or strain from repetitive movement or stress
  • Whiplash or trauma from car accidents or sports injuries
  • Cervical disc herniation or nerve compression
  • Arthritis or spinal degeneration
  • Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction
  • Referred pain from the shoulders or upper back
Each cause affects the muscles, joints, or nerves differently, which is why a personalized, integrated approach to treatment is key.

Symptoms of Head & Neck Pain

You may benefit from professional evaluation if you experience:

  1. Persistent neck stiffness or limited motion
  2. Pain radiating into the shoulders, arms, or upper back
  3. Headaches originating from the base of the skull
  4. Tingling, numbness, or weakness in the arms or hands
  5. Dizziness, fatigue, or visual tension
  6. Grinding, popping, or tightness in the jaw

How We Diagnose & Treat Head & Neck Pain

At The Spine & Health Center of NJ, we begin with a thorough evaluation that may include postural analysis, orthopedic and neurological exams, and functional movement assessments. Once we determine the underlying cause, our team develops a personalized treatment plan that may include a combination of the following therapies:

1. Chiropractic Care

Realigns the cervical spine to reduce nerve compression, improve posture, and relieve muscle tension.

2. Physical Therapy

Focuses on restoring mobility, strengthening neck stabilizers, and improving ergonomics for long-term relief.

3. Acupuncture

Promotes natural pain relief by improving circulation and reducing muscle tightness and inflammation.

4. Trigenics Therapy

Combines neurology and manual therapy to retrain the nervous system for better muscle control and reduced tension.

5. Class IV Laser Therapy

Reduces inflammation, promotes tissue repair, and accelerates healing for chronic neck pain or nerve irritation.

6. Graston Technique & FAKTR

Target scar tissue, fascial restrictions, and soft-tissue adhesions that limit mobility and cause pain.

7. SFMA Functional Assessment

Identifies movement dysfunctions that contribute to head and neck strain, guiding customized corrective exercise.

At-Home Tips for Managing Neck Pain

You can support your recovery and prevent future pain with:

  • Proper workstation setup: Adjust screen height and use ergonomic seating.
  • Neck stretches: Gentle chin tucks and side bends can relieve tension.
  • Hydration and movement breaks: Avoid long periods of sitting.
  • Heat or cold therapy: Use ice for inflammation and heat for stiffness.
  • Mindful posture: Keep shoulders relaxed and ears aligned with shoulders.
If symptoms persist or worsen, professional care may be necessary to correct the root imbalance.
