Neck Pain, Stiffness, and Shoulder Tension
Neck pain can arrive suddenly after sleep or an injury, or build gradually through work, stress, and daily routines. Dr. Natalie looks beyond the sore spot to understand how the neck, upper back, shoulders, and jaw may be working together.
Long hours at a desk, looking down at a screen, an old injury, or a demanding training routine can all influence how the neck feels. Sometimes the upper back, shoulders, or jaw are also involved. Dr. Natalie takes time to understand the full picture before recommending care.
The goal of the assessment is to identify relevant contributors and give you a practical plan. That plan may combine hands-on treatment, movement work, and changes you can use between visits. Your work, sleep, exercise, stress, and previous injuries matter. Dr. Natalie uses those details to choose an approach that fits your body and your goals. You will understand what is being recommended and why before treatment begins.
