Condition & Care Guide

Neck Pain

Restore natural movement and stop pain at the source. St. Louis Medical Center offers trusted chiropractic and physical rehabilitation for neck trauma.

Understand Your Pain

The cervical spine is highly mobile and supports the weight of your head, making it vulnerable to acceleration-deceleration injuries (whiplash) and posture-induced strain. When the neck is misaligned, muscles contract to guard the area, causing tension headaches, reduced mobility, and nerve pain.

Common Warning Signs

Constant stiffness in the neck, throat, and upper shoulders

Sharp pain when turning the head from side to side

Numbness or tingling radiating down the arms and into the fingers

Dull headaches starting at the base of the skull and moving forward

Muscle tightness and spasms in the upper back and neck

Our Treatment Approach

We focus on restoring mobility and relieving joint pressure through non-invasive techniques:

Gentle Cervical Mobilization

Highly controlled, light-pressure adjustments to re-align the neck joints without aggressive twisting or discomfort.

Myofascial Release & Soft Tissue Therapy

Therapy to break down scar tissue and muscle adhesions in the neck and shoulders, restoring blood flow and flexibility.

Postural Rehabilitation

Targeted neck exercises to strengthen deep cervical flexor muscles, correcting forward head carriage and reducing daily strain.

Clinical Care Quality

Evaluations and treatments are run directly by Dr. David Sciortino and our clinical chiropractic care team.
