What does a Chiropractor do for Neck and Shoulder Pain

A chiropractor uses hands-on adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and targeted rehabilitation to restore proper movement and reduce pain in your neck and shoulders.

What Is Neck and Shoulder Pain Treatment and Why Does It Matter?

• Joint manipulation or mobilisation may be used to help with movement and pain in the short term.
  

• Soft tissue work aims to release tension in tight muscles around your neck and shoulders, addressing trigger points that contribute to pain.
  

• Movement assessment identifies faulty patterns causing strain.
  

• Rehabilitation exercises rebuild strength and control in weakened areas, to reduce the chance of it returning.
  

• The whole-body approach examines how posture, breathing, and daily habits contribute to neck and shoulder issues.
