The goal of developing best practice recommendations is to improve patient outcomes by assessing the current evidence and combining it with the practical application of care. 

With millions of people now working from home, in ergonomically compromised positions, it’s highly likely that more people than ever are currently dealing with new or recurrent neck pain. This set of best practices found that, in the absence of red flags, chiropractic should be considered a front-line approach for patients with uncomplicated neck pain.

We’re here for your patients that would like to find relief conservatively. For patients with elective surgeries that have been cancelled, those unable to receive pain management options, or unwilling to take medications- we’re here to help.


“Most people with neck pain are likely to continue to have neck pain, with a clinically variable course in pain intensity and disability.” 

“…patients often benefit from 1 to 2 visits per month to providers of nonpharmacologic conservative care who use spinal manipulation, to be reevaluated every 6 to 12 visits.” 

“For uncomplicated neck pain, including neck pain with headache or radicular symptoms, chiropractic manipulation and multimodal care are recommended.” 

We believe patients have better outcomes when their health professionals
work together.
