Stiff neck from a crash, work or sleeping wrong? Get your neck examined and find out what is causing the pain.
For many types of neck pain, yes. A chiropractor looks at how your neck moves, where it hurts and what sets it off, then builds a plan that can include adjustments, soft tissue work and posture and exercise guidance. Neck pain with numbness, weakness or fever needs a medical doctor first.

Neck problems can involve the muscles, bones, joints, ligaments or nerves, according to MedlinePlus from the National Library of Medicine. An exam helps find which one is behind your pain.
Pain moving into your shoulder? See shoulder pain care. Muscle work: therapeutic massage.
