Neck Pain Relief in Libertyville

Neck pain can strike suddenly—from sleeping wrong, stress, or long hours at a desk. Sometimes it builds gradually until you can barely turn your head. Whether it’s tension, stiffness, or radiating pain into your shoulders or arms, it can make every movement a struggle.

At Community Chiropractic Care, Dr. Steve Segal helps Libertyville patients find fast, lasting relief without long-term treatment plans. Using a ground-up approach, he evaluates posture, spine alignment, and movement patterns to find the real cause of your neck pain—not just where it hurts.

Why Neck Pain Happens

Your neck (the cervical spine) supports your head—an average of 10–12 pounds. When posture or stress throws that balance off, the muscles and joints in your neck pay the price.

Common causes of neck pain include:

Prolonged desk work or computer use
Poor posture and “text neck” from phone use
Sleeping in awkward positions
Stress and muscle tension
Whiplash or car accidents
Shoulder or upper back imbalances

Left untreated, minor tension can lead to headaches, restricted movement, or even nerve irritation in the arms and hands.

How Chiropractic Helps Neck Pain

Dr. Segal uses gentle, precise adjustments to restore normal motion to the neck joints, relieve pressure on nerves, and relax tense muscles.
