How do we diagnose Neck pain?
The first step is always a thorough history, we need to know what you've been through to get you where you want.
Neck pain is tricky because it can originate in your neck, upper back, or even your shoulders. So the next thing we want to do is locate the source of your neck pain.
We do this by conducting a hands-on examination. After we identify the movements that are causing your pain, we’ll examine the muscles and ligaments in the affected area.
If necessary, we’ll use Digital X-Ray to take pictures of your neck. These images can be used to confirm a diagnosis or rule out causes before finalizing a treatment plan.
