Is it safe to have my neck adjusted?

For most people, cervical adjustment is a well-tolerated approach when performed after a proper assessment. Dr. Rodis evaluates each patient first, adapts technique and force to your comfort, and will recommend an alternative or referral if he believes it is more appropriate.

Could my headaches be related to my neck?

Tension headaches are often associated with neck mechanics and muscle tension. An assessment can help clarify whether your neck may be contributing, and Dr. Rodis will discuss what he finds.

Neck Pain

Relief for stiff, tense, and restricted necks.

Neck pain and stiffness frequently trace back to posture, prolonged desk or screen time, sleep position, muscle tension, or joint restriction in the cervical spine. Because the neck is central to how you move and hold your head, restrictions here can also contribute to tension headaches and shoulder discomfort. Dr. Rodis assesses how the cervical spine and surrounding muscles are functioning to target care appropriately.

Common signs and symptoms

Stiffness or reduced range of motion when turning the head
Aching or tightness at the base of the skull or across the shoulders
Tension headaches associated with neck mechanics
Discomfort worsened by prolonged sitting or screen use
Muscle knots or tenderness along the neck and upper back

How we approach it

After a postural and movement assessment, care may combine gentle, specific chiropractic adjustment with soft tissue work to address tight, overactive muscles. Dr. Rodis adapts technique to your comfort and presentation and will discuss the plan with you before proceeding.

When to seek care

Consider an evaluation if neck stiffness or pain lingers, recurs, or affects your sleep and daily activity. Seek prompt medical attention if neck pain follows a significant injury or is accompanied by numbness, weakness, radiating arm pain, dizziness, or severe headache.
