Rehab Chiro offers a range of treatment options for residents of Wheaton and the surrounding areas who are seeking relief. Our team will develop a personalized treatment plan based on your unique needs, symptoms, and comfort level. We understand that even minor pain can disrupt your routine and independence, so we treat the whole person—not just the symptoms.
COMMON CAUSES OF NECK PAIN
Many neck pain cases have a clear cause, while others begin gradually without an obvious trigger. Some common factors include:
Athletic injuries: Impact sports (e.g., football), repetitive motions (e.g., golf), or activities that strain the neck (e.g., weightlifting) can contribute to neck pain.
Arthritis: Degenerative changes can develop over time, causing pain and stiffness, which chiropractic care can help manage.
Traumatic injuries: Whiplash from motor vehicle accidents is a well-known contributor.
Postural strain: Sleeping in awkward positions or prolonged poor posture can lead to neck discomfort.
Common symptoms to watch for include pain when looking up, or difficulty turning your head to the side of the pain. If you’re experiencing these signs, Rehab Chiro can evaluate and tailor a treatment plan to address both the symptoms and underlying causes.
x-rays aren’t mandatory at Rehab chiro. here’s why..
Imaging are valuable tools when used safely and effectively for patients. However, imaging patients too early can:
Expose patients to unnecessary radiation
Create fear around normal age-related changes
Lead to treatments that don’t address a movement based solution for a movement based problem
According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, immediate x-rays are only necessary if you experience “red flag” symptoms:
Recent trauma (car accident, fall, or sudden unplanned injury)
Neurological conditions (worsening numbness, tingling, or weakness)
Suspected Serious Conditions (history of cancer, unexplained weight loss, fever, or drug use)
Persistent pain (no improvement in pain after 4-8 weeks of conservative care)
Age Factors (under 18, over 50 years old)

Preventing neck pain with activities of daily living
First, consider following us on instagram where we post daily educational videos without giving medical advice. Dr. Eliud Sierra: @the_rehab_chiro and Dr. Renata Mendez: @coach_docc.
Second, consider how you sleep, sit, and move throughout the day.
Keep a journal for when and what you are doing when you experience the pain.
Remember the worst posture for you is a never changing one. Meaning, get up and walk around every 30 minutes. Humans were not built to be sedentary.
With that said, that does not mean that we can’t explore ergonomic support such as lumbar support and cushioning.
