Neck pain is one of the most common conditions treated at Lagoni Chiropractic, and one that tends to be underestimated until it becomes impossible to ignore. A stiff neck after sleeping wrong is one thing. Persistent neck pain that limits your range of motion, causes headaches, or sends pain and numbness down into your shoulder and arm is something that needs a real look.
Dr. Jay Lagoni has been treating neck pain in Pendleton for nearly 20 years. Whether the problem started with a car accident, a work injury, years of poor posture, or something that developed gradually without any obvious cause, the approach is the same: find out what is actually driving it before doing anything else.
Neck pain can come from joint dysfunction in the cervical spine, disc problems, muscle tension and spasm, postural stress from prolonged sitting or screen time, or nerve irritation that radiates into the shoulder, arm, or hand. Many patients come in having dealt with the problem for months or years, having tried rest, over the counter medication, or massage with only temporary relief. Temporary relief usually means the underlying cause has not been addressed.
At Lagoni Chiropractic, every new patient receives a thorough health history and physical evaluation. If imaging is indicated, digital X-rays are taken in the office and reviewed by a radiologist in most cases. At the Report of Findings appointment Dr. Jay will walk you through the diagnosis, a home exercise program specific to your condition, and a care plan with realistic expectations for improvement. No prepay, no long-term contracts.
Treatment for neck pain may include chiropractic adjustments using Gonstead, Diversified, or Thompson techniques, Arthrostim instrument adjusting for patients who prefer a lower force approach, electric muscle stimulation, low-level laser therapy, therapeutic ultrasound, and kinesiotaping. Home exercises are a standard part of every care plan because the neck responds well to consistent movement and strengthening between visits.
