Neck Pain Treatment in Prineville, OR

Your neck supports about 12 pounds all day — its flexibility makes it prone to pain and injury.

The neck, or cervical spine, begins at the base of the skull and contains seven small vertebrae. It supports the full weight of your head — about 12 pounds on average.

Its flexibility makes it very susceptible to pain and injury. Looking down at phones and screens, sleeping in an awkward position, or a sudden jolt from a car accident can all strain the joints and muscles of the neck.
