Hello, I’m Dr. Gregg Gerstin from Align Wellness Center, and today I want to share some important information about the top chiropractic techniques for neck pain that could significantly impact your health and well-being.

Did you know that one in three adults experiences neck pain annually? If you’re one of them, you’re not alone. Neck pain can interfere with your daily activities, making simple tasks like turning your head or looking down at your phone uncomfortable or even unbearable. But here’s the thing: neck pain isn’t just a minor inconvenience, it’s often a sign of underlying structural issues in your spine that need attention.

One of the biggest misconceptions about neck pain is that it’s something you just have to live with or that pain medications alone will solve the problem. Many patients don’t realize that approximately 80% of Americans experience neck or back pain in their lives, but relying solely on temporary relief methods doesn’t address the root cause. What makes our approach different at Align Wellness Center is our focus on long-term solutions through structural correction and spinal remodeling.

So, let’s delve into the top chiropractic techniques for neck pain that we utilize to help our patients not just feel better, but function better:

1. Spinal Adjustments

We start with precise spinal adjustments to realign the vertebrae in your neck. By correcting misalignments, or subluxations, we reduce nerve pressure and restore proper function to the nervous system. Think of it as fine-tuning your body’s communication pathways.

2. Traction Therapy

Traction therapy involves gently stretching the spine to decompress discs and nerves. This technique can alleviate pressure, reduce pain, and improve posture. It’s especially effective for conditions like herniated discs and pinched nerves.

3. Spinal Remodeling with the Denneroll

One of the specialized tools we use is the Denneroll—a simple yet powerful device designed to help restore the natural curve of your neck. Using the Denneroll in a controlled and prescribed manner can promote spinal remodeling, correct misalignments, and provide long-term relief. Clinical studies have shown significant improvements in patients using this device as part of their treatment plan.

4. Customized Exercises

We believe in empowering our patients with specific exercises tailored to strengthen the muscles supporting their neck and spine. These exercises improve flexibility and stability, aiding in recovery and helping prevent future issues.

5. Soft Tissue Therapy

Techniques like myofascial release focus on reducing muscle tension and improving blood flow. By addressing the soft tissues surrounding your spine, we can ease discomfort and enhance the effectiveness of other treatments.

6. Postural Training

Poor posture is a common contributor to neck pain. We educate our patients on recognizing and correcting postural habits throughout their daily activities, whether sitting at a desk, looking at a screen, or carrying a bag. Good posture is crucial for maintaining spinal alignment and preventing discomfort.

7. Ergonomic Recommendations

Small changes in your environment can make a big difference. We offer personalized advice on adjusting your workspace, such as chair height, monitor position, and keyboard placement, to reduce strain on your neck and spine.


Have you experienced neck pain that seems to linger or keep coming back? Think about how it affects your daily life—perhaps you’re missing out on activities you enjoy, or it’s impacting your productivity at work. Consider how addressing the underlying causes could improve not just your comfort but your overall quality of life.

At Align Wellness Center, our treatment approach is comprehensive and individualized. We begin with a thorough assessment process to understand your specific condition. This includes physical examinations, posture analysis, and, if necessary, imaging studies. From there, we create a customized treatment plan that may incorporate several of the techniques mentioned above.

We monitor your progress closely, adjusting your treatment plan as needed to ensure the best outcomes. Our goal is not just to alleviate your pain temporarily but to provide lasting correction that enhances your overall health.

Clinical studies support the effectiveness of chiropractic care and spinal remodeling techniques like those involving the Denneroll. In fact, long-term results have shown sustained benefits, highlighting the importance of addressing structural issues rather than just symptoms. Patients often report improvements in mobility, energy levels, and a reduction in the frequency and severity of pain episodes.
