Neck pain is one of the most common reasons people seek Chiropractic help. For some it’s a vague pain that seems to follow them all the time, others may experience an acute stiffness and pain on waking up, some may find pain on moving their head whilst other may have such pain they can’t move their head.
The causes of neck pain are broad and being the longest serving Chiropractors for neck pain Maidstone, we’ve seen it all and our friendly team is here to help you.
You’re in the right place!
There are many causes for neck pain. A lack of support from a pillow over-night may cause neck pain after sleeping, sitting with your head turned or perhaps direct physical trauma.
In some people the cause is more subtle and may be from a specific muscle or neurological imbalance, spinal joint dysfunction, postural fatigue patterns, inflammation, immune changes, foot pronation and perhaps even degeneration.
For most people, neck pain has a multifactorial cause.
Depending on the type of pain your feeling, the length of time you’ve had it for, the intensity, character and location, the cause of your neck pain can be quite varied. Here is just a small list of some of the causes of neck pain:
Whilst some of these problems can sound quite nasty, if you’re like most people, the initial injury that may have started your problem is often quite benign and innocuous. Here’s a few examples:
For most people with neck pain, the problem is quite benign and can often be corrected through a customized program of care aimed at restoring normal motion.
Unfortunately, many wait too long before seeking help. This can lead to the small innocent changes in function developing into greater imbalances creating stress on structures potentially leading to degeneration, arthritis and other similar problems that often require prolonged treatment programs or potentially even surgery!
For many people the simple answer is yes, but just simply changing your sleeping position may not be the long term solution you’re looking for. Understanding the interaction between these muscles and achieving balance is often a requirement prior to looking at strategies for prevention.
Probably the most missed cause of neck pain we see, especially in those with chronic neck pain, is neurological. When specific nerves have been stimulated due to chronic low levels of dysfunction elsewhere in the body, some muscle can often tighten up resulting in what is often described as ‘one sided neck stiffness’.
This is a condition we often see in migraine and headache sufferers, those with glare, smell or sound sensitivity, jaw problems or face pain. In some occasions we can also see this in those suffering with dizziness and vertigo as well.

Neck pain is most commonly caused by poor posture, prolonged screen use, repetitive movements, stress-related muscle tension, poor sleeping or sitting habits, overuse, fatigue, neurological and brain related changes or reduced joint movement in the neck and upper back. Past injuries, such as whiplash, can also contribute.
We identify the underlying issue through a detailed history and physical examination, assessing posture, movement, joint function, muscle balance, physiological mechanisms and neurological signs. This helps us understand what’s driving your pain rather than just treating the symptoms.
When performed appropriately, neck adjustments are considered safe. At Spinewise, techniques are chosen based on your individual needs, comfort level, and medical history.
This may include gentle manual adjustments, low-force techniques, mobilisations, soft tissue work, or various other methods. We always take the safest and most effective approach and greatly explain our approach ensuring care is tailored to you.
Yes. Prolonged sitting, forward head posture, and extended screen use can place extra strain on the muscles and joints of the neck and upper back whilst also altering brain health. Over time, this can lead to stiffness, tension, and reduced movement.
Addressing posture and movement habits is often an important part of both treatment and long-term prevention.
Muscular neck pain is usually felt as tightness, aching, or stiffness and is often linked to posture, overuse, or stress. Nerve-related pain may feel sharper, burning, or electric, and can travel into the shoulder, arm, or hand, sometimes with tingling or numbness.
A thorough assessment helps determine which structures are involved so care can be targeted appropriately.
This depends on the cause of your pain, how long it’s been present, and how your body responds to care. Some people notice improvement quickly, while others benefit from a short course of care to restore movement and address contributing factors.
We’ll always discuss expectations and tailor care to your goals.
Yes. Recurrent stiffness often points to underlying movement restrictions, muscle imbalances, or stress on the nervous system. Chiropractic care can help restore joint motion, while Applied Kinesiology may provide additional insight into neurological and health influences whilst also assessing how your body is adapting or compensating.
Together, they allow for a more personalised approach to addressing both the symptoms and the contributing factors behind recurring neck stiffness.
