Neck Pain & Headaches

Your neck is under stress and strain from the minute you get out of bed until the end of the day. It not only carries your head around, but allows it to move in many different directions and can withstand the changes in direction of our bodies in activity, sport, and automobiles.

Unfortunately, with so many active structures and so many moving parts, lots of things can go wrong.
