Chiropractic Care for Neck Pain in Woodbridge, VA
Loosen a Neck That Has Been Carrying Too Much
Long stretches in traffic on I-95, hours at a monitor, and phones held below eye level all take a toll on the neck. If yours feels stiff, achy, or locked when you turn to check a blind spot, Palmercare Chiropractic Woodbridge can help you find out why.
We look at the neck as part of a connected system that includes the upper back, shoulders, and posture, so your care addresses the cause of the pain and not only the sore spot.
Understanding Chiropractic Care for Neck Pain
Your neck supports the weight of your head while allowing a remarkable range of motion, which makes it prone to muscle strain, joint stiffness, and irritation, especially when posture slips. Over time, small restrictions can add up to daily pain.
Dr. Eric Meyer and Dr. Todd Redfearn check neck motion, posture, and muscle response, then explain what they find so the plan you receive matches what is actually happening in your body.
This kind of care often helps patients who have:
- Stiffness when turning to check a blind spot
- Aching at the base of the skull
- Pain that spreads into the shoulders
- Tension that builds through the workday
- Tingling or heaviness into an arm
- Soreness after a fall or sports collision
Since every patient is different, your plan is built around your symptoms and goals.
How We Help Woodbridge Patients with Neck Pain
We pair hands-on care with simple changes you can make every day.
A Thorough Exam
We evaluate neck motion, posture, and muscle response, and we ask about your work, sleep, and activity so we can see what is driving your pain and not only where it shows up.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Gentle adjustments restore motion to stiff joints in the neck and upper back, which can ease pain and make everyday movements like turning your head feel more natural.
ArthroStim for Sensitive Necks
When a neck is tender or guarded, ArthroStim delivers a gentle, precise adjustment with a lighter touch, giving patients a comfortable option for working on restricted joints.
Posture Correction
We show you practical changes to your screen height, driving position, and sleeping setup, along with simple stretches that take pressure off your neck between visits.

What Our Woodbridge Patients Say
HAVE A QUESTION
Frequently Asked Questions
What causes neck pain?
Common causes include poor posture, muscle strain, joint stiffness, disc problems, and injuries such as whiplash. Often more than one factor is involved, which is why we start with a thorough exam.
Is it safe to have my neck adjusted?
Techniques are tailored to each patient, and we screen carefully before any neck care. If your exam suggests another provider should weigh in first, we will tell you.
Can chiropractic help a stiff neck?
Many patients seek care for stiffness related to joint restriction and muscle tension. Restoring motion and addressing posture habits can ease it, though results vary.
What is ArthroStim therapy?
It is a handheld instrument that delivers a gentle, precise adjustment. Patients who prefer a lighter touch often find it comfortable.
Will I hear popping during an adjustment?
Sometimes. The sound is usually gas shifting in the joint fluid, and it is not a sign of harm or of a better adjustment.
Can it help neck-related headaches?
Tension in the neck is a common contributor to headaches, so many patients ask about this. We evaluate whether your headaches have a neck component.
How many visits will I need?
It depends on your condition and how your body responds. We reassess regularly and adjust your plan as you improve.
What should I change at my desk?
We give specific suggestions for monitor height, keyboard position, and break habits, because small adjustments can reduce daily strain on your neck.
Do I need imaging?
Only if your exam suggests it would help guide your care. We explain why before recommending any imaging.
