A REAL PAIN IN THE NECK?
The vicious cycle is all too familiar: waking up with a sore neck, sitting at work in front of a computer, scrolling on your phone at home, going to bed, and then waking up with the same soreness again. You might already suspect—or maybe not—that these events could be connected.
At House of Chiropractic, we call the curve of your neck the Arc of Life. This natural curve is crucial for allowing messages to travel unobstructed from your brain to the rest of your body. A healthy neck curve should form part of a circle, enabling proper nerve transmission, a full range of movement, and no unnecessary tension on your muscles or their attachment points.
If you’re experiencing neck pain, headaches, or migraines, your neck vertebrae may be out of alignment. It’s worth getting it checked by a chiropractor. Here in Albury-Wodonga, we get great results helping people restore a healthy neck curve and reduce pain—so you can break the cycle and move freely again.
WHAT CAN CAUSE NECK MISALIGNMENT?
Neck misalignment can develop from a variety of everyday stresses on the body and mind, including:
-
Injuries: Whiplash, sports collisions, concussions, falls.
-
Poor posture: Hunching over phones or tablets, bad sleeping positions.
-
Stress: Scrunched shoulders from tension, emotional stress from family, friends or work.
WHAT DOES MISALIGNMENT LEAD TO?
Neck misalignment strains surrounding muscles, causing soreness in the neck and shoulders. This fatigue can worsen posture, potentially leading to a reverse neck curve (cervical kyphosis), forward head posture, or an exaggerated upper back curve (thoracic hyper-kyphosis). Over time, it may even contribute to spinal degeneration.
If this tension persists, it can result in chronic neck pain, headaches, or migraines. Interestingly, neck pain can sometimes be linked to issues elsewhere in the spine, like the lower back.

A QUICK NECK PAIN SELF-ASSESSMENT
Want to find out if your neck might have a problem? Do this quick self-assessment:
-
Can you look to the sky freely and without pain?
-
Can you look down to your toes freely and without pain?
-
Can you look fully over both shoulders freely and without pain?
-
Can you tip your ear over to your shoulder (like you are holding a phone between your ear and your shoulder) freely and without pain?
If you find it difficult to do one or more of these tests, then there may be a chance your neck might have a problem or be out of alignment.
