At In Town Chiropractic in Alameda, CA, we specialize in safe, effective, and non-invasive neck pain treatment. Patients travel from Oakland, Berkeley, San Leandro, San Lorenzo, Hayward, and surrounding Bay Area communities to see Dr. Jose M. Barajas, DC because we don’t mask symptoms—we fix the root causes of cervical spine pain so you can move freely and live without constant discomfort.
Your neck (the cervical spine) begins at the base of your skull and contains seven small vertebrae that support your head—about 12 pounds on average. Because the neck is both highly mobile and structurally delicate, it’s vulnerable to stiffness, soreness, pinched nerves, disc problems, headaches, and whiplash injuries.
Common Causes of Neck Pain
- Poor posture from computer work, phone use, driving, or gaming
- Spinal misalignments (subluxations) irritating joints and nerves
- Whiplash & auto accidents
- Sports injuries & overuse
- Pinched nerves / herniated or bulging discs
- Muscle tension & stress, jaw (TMJ) dysfunction
- Repetitive strain from workstation issues
- Sleep position & pillows causing strain
