Neck Pain & Headaches
Neck pain and cervicogenic or tension-type headaches often share drivers: joint stiffness, postural load, and soft-tissue tension. Care targets the contributing segments and habits, not just the painful spot.
Pain has a source. The exam's job is to find it
Most musculoskeletal pain responds to conservative, movement-based care. The list below covers what we see most; each entry starts with an assessment, not an assumption.
The most common reason patients seek care. Most low back pain is mechanical, and first-line treatment is conservative: restore joint motion, address the movement patterns feeding the problem, and keep you active.

Leg pain that follows a nerve distribution needs a careful exam to locate the source of irritation. Most cases respond to conservative care; we track progress and refer for imaging when findings warrant it.
From acute sprains and strains to training overload. FMS screening and SFMA assessment guide treatment and return-to-play decisions, and help address the deficits that set up the injury.
Pain from sustained positions: desk work, driving, repetitive lifting. Treatment pairs hands-on care with practical changes to how you sit, stand, and move through the workday.
Low back, pelvic girdle, and hip pain are common through pregnancy. Low-force, position-adapted care can reduce pain and keep you moving in every trimester.
Joint and soft-tissue problems beyond the spine, from rotator cuff irritation to hip and knee complaints, assessed and treated with the same movement-first approach.
Long-standing pain involves tissue, movement, and nervous-system factors. We set honest expectations, measure progress, and build a plan you can sustain, and we refer when another specialty is the better tool.
Some presentations need imaging, a physician, or a different specialty first. Part of an evidence-based exam is recognizing those cases and referring you to the right provider without wasting your visits.
