Neck Pain Treatment in Hillsboro
Neck pain can make even simple tasks difficult, from turning your head to driving, working, or getting a good night’s sleep. Dr. Rex Huffman offers comprehensive, evidence-based neck pain treatment in Hillsboro, focused on easing discomfort, restoring mobility, and helping you get back to your everyday life with confidence.
Understanding Neck Pain
Neck pain can come from many sources, often stemming from muscle tension, joint restriction, disc irritation, nerve compression, or soft-tissue inflammation. Common triggers include:
- Poor workstation ergonomics
- Too much time on your phone or device (“tech neck”)
- Sports injuries
- Whiplash
- Age-related wear and tear
If left unaddressed, neck pain can contribute to headaches, shoulder pain, numbness, or a lower quality of life.
Common Symptoms of Neck Pain
Neck pain can present in many ways, and knowing these signs can help you decide when it’s time to seek professional care:
- Stiffness or trouble moving your neck
- Sharp, shooting, or dull aching pain
- Headaches or migraines triggered by neck tension
- Pain spreading into your shoulders, arms, or upper back
- Tingling, numbness, or weakness in your arms or hands
- Muscle spasms or tension in the neck and upper back
How We Diagnose Your Neck Pain
At Dr. Rex Chiropractic, your care begins with a comprehensive evaluation to determine the root cause of your neck pain. This includes:
- Detailed health and injury history review
- Physical and spinal assessment
- Range of motion and nerve function testing
- Imaging referrals (X-ray or MRI) if necessary
These steps ensure that every treatment plan is safe, effective, and tailored specifically to your needs.
Comprehensive Neck Pain Treatment We Offer
At Dr. Rex Chiropractic, neck pain care is never one-size-fits-all. Your treatment plan is built around your specific condition, comfort level, and long-term goals. We combine trusted chiropractic techniques with supportive therapies to help you feel better, move more easily, and get back to living the life you enjoy.
Full Spine Manual Adjusting
Hands-on spinal adjustments help restore proper movement to the neck and spine, ease joint restrictions, and relieve pressure on irritated nerves. This approach supports natural healing while improving mobility and alignment throughout the entire spine.
Drop Table Technique
The drop table technique uses a specialized chiropractic table that gently lowers during your adjustment, making precise corrections with minimal force, so it feels easy on your body. This is perfect if you prefer a lighter approach or have acute neck pain and stiffness.
Activator Method
The Activator Method uses a small, handheld, spring-loaded device to deliver gentle, controlled adjustments. It’s an excellent option if you have a sensitive neck, are an older adult, or simply want a precise, low-force option without the traditional “popping” sound.
Massage Therapy
Therapeutic massage helps release tight muscles, improve circulation, and reduce tension that adds to neck pain. Massage therapy is often paired with chiropractic adjustments to boost your results and help you recover faster.
Hydro Massage
Hydro massage uses gentle waves of water to loosen tight muscles, improve circulation, and help you relax, all without the need to disrobe. It’s a simple, non-invasive option that many people find deeply soothing and effective for neck and upper back tension.
HPHD Laser Therapy
High-Power Laser Therapy is a safe, non-invasive option that may help reduce inflammation, ease pain, and support tissue healing. It’s often used for neck issues like muscle strain, disc irritation, or nerve-related discomfort, giving you another gentle way to feel better and move with confidence.
Corrective and Therapeutic Exercises
Simple, customized exercises help strengthen the muscles that support your neck, improve flexibility, and keep your spine stable. These movements play a crucial role in achieving lasting relief and preventing injuries.
Posture & Ergonomic Coaching
Poor posture and long hours at a desk or on devices are common causes of neck pain. Dr. Huffman will guide you with simple posture and workspace adjustments that ease daily strain and lower your risk of flare‑ups, whether you’re at work, at home, or on your devices.
