Neck Pain Treatment in Burlington, NJ
Your neck, or cervical spine, begins at the base of your skull and contains seven small vertebrae that support the full weight of your head, about 12 pounds on average. This incredible flexibility also makes the neck vulnerable to pain and injury. At Burlington Chiropractic, our doctors in Burlington, NJ provide gentle, precise care to relieve neck pain and restore healthy, comfortable movement.

- Poor posture and forward head position from phones and computers
- Sleeping in an awkward position

Symptoms That Often Come With Neck Pain
Neck pain rarely stays in the neck. It may be accompanied by stiffness and limited range of motion, headaches, shoulder pain, or pain, numbness, and tingling that travels into the arms and hands.
How We Evaluate Neck Pain
Our 5 Phase Bio-Structural Evaluation uses digital X-rays, Dynamic Digital Radiography to see how your neck moves, and digital spinal nerve testing. Motion X-ray is especially helpful for detecting ligament damage after whiplash that may not appear on standard images.
Chiropractic Treatment for Neck Pain
Your plan may include gentle cervical adjustments with instrument or drop table techniques, cervical spinal decompression for disc-related pain, myofascial release for tight muscles, corrective exercises to improve posture, and ergonomic lifestyle advice for your workstation and sleep setup.
