Neck pain affects millions — whether from long hours at a desk, poor sleep posture, or past trauma. When left untreated, it can lead to headaches, stiffness, shoulder tension, or even radiating arm pain.
At Gonstead Family Chiropractic in Kearny Mesa, we provide precise, drug-free relief by correcting the root cause of your neck pain through the Gonstead system — a proven technique focused on alignment, nerve function, and long-term healing.
What Causes Neck Pain?
Neck pain often results from spinal misalignments in the cervical vertebrae — especially due to:
- Forward head posture (“tech neck”)
- Whiplash from car accidents
- Chronic stress and tension
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Sleeping wrong or poor pillow support

How Gonstead Chiropractic Treats Neck Pain
What makes Gonstead care unique is that it doesn’t rely on guesswork. We perform a thorough evaluation to pinpoint the exact vertebra causing dysfunction.
Your care includes:
- Full-spine X-rays (upright and weight-bearing)
- Palpation and motion testing
- Nerve scope analysis
- Targeted, non-twisting cervical adjustments
We use a full-body diagnostic approach to ensure accuracy. Learn more about our neck pain chiropractic and explore cervical spine treatment techniques to better understand why precision matters.
