Neck Pain Relief in Sturgis

Neck pain can make it hard to work, sleep, drive, or even turn your head. Whether it started after an injury or built up over time at a desk or on the ranch, it’s frustrating when it doesn’t go away. At Key City Chiropractic & Acupuncture, our team focuses on clear answers and practical, hands-on care tailored to your body and your life.

Thorough, Hands-On Neck Pain Evaluation

On your first visit, Dr. Al Gunderson or Dr. Jerrid Goebel will take a detailed history and perform an exam. They’ll check your posture, shoulder and head position, and how well your neck and upper back move. Gentle palpation helps find tight muscles and trigger points, and they’ll note whether pressing on certain spots reproduces your neck pain or headaches. When needed, they rule out more serious issues.

Neck Pain Care Tailored to You

Once they’ve made a diagnosis, our team builds a care plan that may include chiropractic adjustments to restore motion to stiff joints, soft tissue therapy to release tight muscles, and muscle stimulation to calm spasms and ease pain. Deep tissue laser therapy can help reduce inflammation, and specific exercises strengthen weak areas and support better alignment at home and work.

Support for Posture, Work, and Imaging Decisions

If you work at a computer or notice pain building as the day goes on, we’ll review your work setup and simple ergonomic changes to reduce strain. We follow current guidelines when deciding if X-rays are needed and coordinate imaging if any red flags appear.

Frequently Asked Questions

What usually causes my neck pain, and am I doing something to make it worse?

For many people, neck pain comes from posture issues, long hours in one position, muscle tightness, and joints that aren’t moving well. Our doctors look at how you sit, stand, and move and explain what’s causing your problem and what you can change.

Is chiropractic care for neck pain safe?

Dr. Gunderson and Dr. Goebel use evidence-informed techniques and start with a careful history and exam to ensure chiropractic care is appropriate for you. Non-adjustment options, like soft tissue work, muscle stimulation, laser therapy, and exercises, are also available.
