Neck pain is a common concern and may be felt at the base of the skull, across the shoulders, or radiate into the upper back or arms. Symptoms can include stiffness, reduced range of motion, headaches, or sensations such as numbness or tingling. While neck pain may develop after injury, repetitive strain, postural or emotional stress, or age-related changes, imaging findings do not always explain ongoing symptoms.

At The Essential Healing Center, we recognize that the neck is influenced by a complex network of muscles, joints, nerves, connective tissue, and circulation. Through a comprehensive, hands-on osteopathic evaluation, we assess how these systems are interacting and identify patterns of tension or restriction that may be contributing to pain. Care is focused on restoring mobility, improving circulation, reducing unnecessary strain, and supporting more comfortable, resilient movement over time.
