Neck and Shoulder Pain Relief | Mount Pleasant, SC
Does your neck feel tight and stiff?
Do you find yourself rubbing between your shoulder blades throughout the day? You’re not alone. Neck pain and mid-back stiffness are some of the most common reasons people in Mount Pleasant seek chiropractic care. Whether from long hours at a desk, looking down at your phone, or simply the stress of daily life, this kind of tension can disrupt sleep, drain your energy, and keep you from enjoying your favorite activities.
At Lowcountry Chiropractic, we help people restore mobility, relieve pain, and correct the underlying causes—not just cover up the symptoms.
Why Neck and Shoulder Blade Pain Happens
Tension in the neck and upper back often comes down to three key factors:
Forward Head Posture – When your head juts forward (often from screens), it puts extra stress on the neck and upper back muscles.
Muscle Imbalances – Tight chest muscles and weak mid-back muscles pull the shoulders forward, creating stiffness between the shoulder blades.
Spinal Misalignment – Even small shifts in the cervical or thoracic spine can irritate nerves, restrict movement, and create pain patterns.
Over time, these stresses can also contribute to headaches, tingling in the arms, and fatigue if left untreated.
How Chiropractic Care Helps Neck & Upper Back Pain
Chiropractic adjustments and supportive therapies work to address both the cause and the symptoms:
Corrects Misalignment – Adjustments restore motion to restricted joints, taking pressure off nerves and muscles.
Relieves Muscle Tension – Many patients feel lighter and looser after their first adjustment.
Improves Posture – By realigning the spine and balancing muscle function, you’ll sit and stand taller with less effort.
Supports Nervous System Function – A properly aligned spine allows the nervous system to function more efficiently, often reducing pain and improving energy.
Long-Term Prevention – Regular care keeps tension from building back up so symptoms don’t keep returning.
Simple Daily Tips to Reduce Tension
Alongside chiropractic care, here are some quick strategies you can use right away:
Check Screen Height: Keep your computer monitor at eye level.
Stretch Your Chest: Open up tight pec muscles to reduce rounding in the shoulders.
Strengthen Your Back: Rows, band pull-aparts, or even sitting tall and squeezing your shoulder blades together help.
Take Movement Breaks: Every 30–60 minutes, stand up and stretch to reset your posture.
