Neck pain is more common than most people realize
Some recent research has found over 10% of the American population suffers from it. This means it affects a large swath of people in our society.
The reason is simple. The normal and abnormal activities and stresses of daily life put pressure on this sensitive area. It’s important to consider the big picture when dealing with neck problems. For example, some of the more common causes of neck pain include long periods of sitting and poor posture. It’s also important to have routine spinal alignments to avoid this condition.
Chiropractic care is the solution for many individuals who suffer from different types of neck pain. There’s a big difference here between what a chiropractic doctor does and what prescription drugs accomplish.

Expert Neck Pain Treatment in North Fort Myers
Neck pain affects nearly 30% of adults each year, making it one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints. The cervical spine supports the full weight of your head — approximately 10-12 pounds — and allows the greatest range of motion of any spinal region. This combination of mobility and load-bearing makes the neck particularly vulnerable to injury and degeneration.
Conditions That Cause Neck Pain
- Cervical disc herniation — Disc material pressing on cervical nerves, causing pain that radiates into the shoulders and arms
- Cervical spondylosis — Age-related degeneration of cervical vertebrae and discs
- Whiplash — Ligament and muscle strain from sudden acceleration-deceleration forces
- Tech neck (forward head posture) — Chronic strain from prolonged phone and computer use
- Cervical radiculopathy — Pinched nerve in the neck causing arm pain, tingling, or weakness
How We Treat Neck Pain
Dr. Amy Kerr uses both manual cervical adjustments and the ProAdjuster instrument-assisted technique to restore proper cervical alignment. The ProAdjuster is particularly effective for neck pain patients who prefer a gentler approach — it uses precise, computer-guided impulses to correct vertebral misalignment without the twisting or cracking associated with traditional adjustments. Physical therapy exercises rebuild cervical strength and teach proper ergonomic habits to prevent recurrence.
Neck Pain FAQ
Is it safe to have my neck adjusted by a chiropractor?
Yes. Cervical chiropractic adjustments are safe when performed by a licensed chiropractor. Dr. Kerr evaluates every patient thoroughly before treatment and offers both manual adjustments and the gentler ProAdjuster technique based on your comfort level and condition.
Can chiropractic help a pinched nerve in the neck?
Chiropractic adjustments are highly effective for cervical radiculopathy (pinched nerve). By restoring proper alignment to the cervical vertebrae, the space around the compressed nerve is restored, relieving pain, tingling, and weakness in the arms. Most patients notice improvement within 2-4 weeks.
What is tech neck and how do you treat it?
Tech neck is forward head posture caused by prolonged phone and computer use. For every inch your head moves forward from neutral alignment, the effective weight on your cervical spine increases by 10 pounds. Chiropractic adjustments correct the misalignment, and physical therapy exercises strengthen the deep cervical flexors to maintain proper posture.
