Head and Neck Pain
Are you experiencing headaches and/or neck pain?
Neck pain can develop for many reasons, including stress, muscle tension, daily habits, poor posture, disc irritation, and nerve sensitivity. In many cases—especially when pain is not caused by a sudden injury—neck discomfort is the result of inefficient neurological stabilization and movement patterns.
​
When the nervous system is not providing proper support and control, the muscles of the neck and upper body are forced to compensate. Faulty breathing patterns can further increase this strain, causing the muscles of the chest, shoulders, and neck to overwork. Over time, this can lead to persistent pain, stiffness, and symptoms that may travel into the shoulders, arms, or hands.
​
Our approach focuses on identifying the underlying movement and stabilization issues contributing to your symptoms, helping restore proper coordination, reduce strain, and improve long-term comfort and function.

Head & Neck Treatments in Birmingham, Alabama
Treatment options for Head and Neck pain
Neck and head pain often stem from poor neurological stability, inefficient breathing patterns, and faulty movement control—not just tight muscles. Without proper nervous system support, the neck and shoulders are forced to overwork, leading to persistent pain, stiffness, and symptoms that may radiate into the arms or hands.
At our Birmingham clinic, we use evidence-based protocols for lasting results to restore proper stability, movement coordination, and breathing mechanics. Treatment may include chiropractic adjustments, dry needling, and targeted functional rehabilitation to reduce strain, improve mobility, and support long-term results.

Headaches/Migraines
Headaches often originate from tension in the muscles and restricted joints of the neck and upper back. Stress, daily habits, and poor posture can increase muscle tightness and joint stiffness, placing added strain on the nervous system. Over time, this tension can trigger or worsen headaches and migraines.
TMJ/Jaw Pain
Research indicates that up to 50% of neck pain cases may be associated with underlying TMJ dysfunction. When the jaw is not functioning properly, trigger points can develop in the muscles of the jaw, neck, and upper shoulders, contributing to ongoing pain, tension, and limited mobility. If the root cause is not identified and addressed, symptoms can persist and lead to significant frustration over time.
