Neck Pain Relief in Santa Cruz
Feel Lighter. Move Freely. Come Back to Yourself.
A stiff, aching neck can feel like a weight dragging down your day. Whether it’s the pinch you feel backing out of the driveway or the persistent tension that never quite lets go, neck pain disrupts your rhythm. It clouds your thinking. It saps your energy. And it often has roots deeper than strained muscles or long hours at a screen.
What’s Really Causing Your Neck Pain?
It’s easy to blame your pillow or your desk setup—and yes, those can play a part. However, neck pain is usually the surface layer of something more complex:
- Old injuries like whiplash that were never fully resolved
- Slouched posture or “tech neck” from long hours on screens
- Emotional tension you’ve been carrying for years
- Spinal misalignments that disrupt the flow of communication
- Overuse and poor ergonomics that cause your body to compensate
Your system responds by tightening, guarding, adapting. Over time, that can become your baseline—until something gives.
A Different Approach to Lasting Relief
Santa Cruz chiropractor Dr. Bjorn Bostrom uses NetworkSpinal® and upper cervical care to gently cue the nervous system to unwind. There’s no cracking or forcing. Just light, precise contact that helps your body shift out of old stress patterns and into a more relaxed, organized state.
If we suspect disc involvement, we may suggest spinal decompression therapy—a comfortable, non-invasive way to reduce pressure and create space for healing.
When your spine and nervous system are functioning in harmony, pain dissolves and clarity returns. That’s when you can live from a place of ease,” says Dr. Bjorn.
Beyond Pain Relief
Most people walk in because of discomfort—but what they notice as care progresses often surprises them.
- Energy rises.
- Focus sharpens.
- They sleep better, move better, feel more emotionally steady.
This isn’t just about your neck. It’s about how you experience your body—and your life.
