Neck pain
Neck pain is a common complaint, and it can significantly impact daily activities and overall quality of life. Whether it is due to poor posture, injury, stress, or an underlying spinal misalignment, neck discomfort is often more than just a localised issue.
Common symptoms associated with Neck Pain
Many of our clients experiencing neck pain also report the following symptoms:
• A sore, aching neck
• Tingling or numbness in the neck, arms or hands
• Sharp, shooting pains
• Stiffness and reduced range of motion
• Weak grip strength or fatigue in the hands
When a misalignment in the spine is present, it can interfere with the proper function of the nervous system function, contributing to both discomfort and wider systemic symptoms.
The importance of the Upper Cervical Spine:
The upper cervical spine includes the atlas (C1) and axis (C2). This region is anatomically complex and critical as it supports the skill, enables a wide range of head movement, and simultaneously protects the lower brainstem and upper spinal cord. Because of this close relationship, misalignments in the upper cervical spine can have far-reaching effects, well beyond neck pain.
The brainstem sits at the base of the skull and extends into the upper cervical spine. It plays a vital role in regulating the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) which controls essential involuntary functions including heart rate, breathing, digestion, and blood pressure.
Misalignments within the upper cervical area can compromise neurological communication between the brain and the body, potentially leading to symptoms like:
- Dizziness and balance issues
- Headaches or migraines
- Fatigue or brain fog
- Sleep disturbances
What causes neck pain?
Neck pain is frequently a result of repetitive strain on the muscles and joints of the neck. This strain can lead to compression of the spinal discs and a misalignment of vertebrae. Contributing factors include:
- Poor posture
- Improper sleeping positions
- Frequently looking down at electronic devices.
Over time, these habits can result in pain, tension in the neck and shoulders, reduced mobility, and dysfunction within the body.
How can chiropractic care help my neck pain?
Chiropractic care focuses on restoring proper alignment in key areas of the spine to promote optimal nervous system function. At TOPCHIRO, we work closely with leading Upper Cervical Chiropractors in the UK. When clinically appropriate, we can refer for advanced imaging or specialist evaluation to ensure the most accurate analysis, care recommendation and targeted care plan.
Many of our clients not only experience relief from neck pain but also report improvements in energy, sleep, mental clarity and and overall well-being.
If you are experiencing chronic neck discomfort or symptoms that seem unrelated but persistent, it may be time to explore the benefits of chiropractic care. At TOPCHIRO, our experienced chiropractors are dedicated to helping you live a healthier, more comfortable life. We provide tailored care for individuals experiencing neck pain and aim to address its root causes rather than just the symptoms.
What our clients are saying:
"Well worth the investment”
Great people – very friendly, patient, paid attention when I chattered nervously!
I went to Dr Kellie with a neck rotation injury, couldn’t move my neck much past a certain angle without a lot of pain. Dr Kellie fixed this – and then whilst we were at it fixed my shoulders also, so now I can reach up behind my back, and I’ve not been able to do that for years! I’m now a lot taller, also as we’ve corrected my posture, too – lots of work done and well worth the investment in myself!

"I can't be happier”
Amazing experience with Hans Chew. Always friendly, welcoming and nice to talk to. He helped me with lower back pain as well as my neck pain which I can’t be happier about and I couldn’t recommend enough!

“It's like I never had any issue”
I started with TopChiro at the end of November 2024. The main reason was because of pain in the left side of my neck from sleeping sitting up during long haul travelling, but I’ve also had sciatica as a second issue. I was unable to turn my neck to the left without having shooting pains going down my back and I’d had this pain for many years. After a few weeks of being with Top Chiro I felt such a huge difference. It’s now been about 7 months and it’s like I never had any issue! I am so glad I took a chance and I have no idea why I waited so long.

“The team have been phenomenal”
Paris has been excellent from start to finish. I went in with pain in my neck, mid back and lower back and a few months later it is SIGNIFICANTLY improved. He went at a pace that worked for me, explained everything in great detail whilst having a warm and friendly approach to everything. Inna will greet you as you approach reception and remember the most personal details- the whole experience has been 10/10 and I would recommend to anyone. Paris and the team have been phenomenal!
