Neck Pain

Move freely & supported, without tension.

Neck pain often shows up as stiffness or discomfort when turning your head, or as tension that travels into your shoulders or upper back. Whether it began gradually or after an accident or injury, neck pain affects how you move your head, sit at work, & feel at the end of your day.
At Firefly Chiropractic, we help identify the movement restrictions & muscle imbalances that contribute to neck symptoms. We then work towards better mobility, reduced tension, and greater daily comfort.

Move freely & supported, without tension.

Neck pain rarely starts with one dramatic event. More often, it builds slowly through long hours at a desk, forward head posture, repetitive stress, or strength imbalances in the upper back and shoulders.
When your neck loses mobility, surrounding muscles tighten to protect the area. Over time, this protective tension becomes persistent stiffness, soreness, and sometimes pain that travels into the shoulders or triggers headaches.
Improving joint mobility and restoring muscular balance is what allows the neck to settle down long term, not just temporarily.

Dr Stef was very thorough and personable in my appointment. She made sure all my concerns were addressed and that I understood what she can do to help me find relief.

I just finished my second treatment session with Dr. Stef at Firefly Chiropractic and I couldn’t be more pleased with her. During the first appointment, she did a thorough and comprehensive assessment and then proceeded to treat me with a variety of different modalities. Prior to that first appointment, I had been incapacitated with low back pain for 5 months. I walked out of that session with amazing relief. I had another great session today and I just am so elated with the relief Dr. Stef’s treatments have afforded me. Five months of pain has been relieved after just two sessions.
Dr. Stef is thorrough and methodical in her treatment approach and she is a great listener. She seems to really care about how I’m doing and she doesn’t rush me through the appointment and out the door.. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and I recommend her without hesitation to anyone.

Today I arrived with pain on the left side of my neck. After the session with Dr. Cruz, my pain completely disappeared, and with the adjustment, my muscles feel very relaxed. 100% recommended.
