Neck Pain & cervicogenic Headache Treatment in Southwest Win
Neck Pain & Headaches & Chiropractic Care
Neck pain can affect everything from driving and desk work to sleep, exercise, and concentration. Some people feel stiffness and limited motion. Others notice tension into the shoulders, soreness at the base of the skull, or headaches that seem connected to neck tightness.
We provide assessment and chiropractic care for neck pain and cervicogenic headaches for patients in southwest Winnipeg, including River Heights, Linden Ridge, Linden Woods, Charleswood, Fort Garry, Riverview, Waverley Heights, and nearby areas.
Types of Neck problems We Commonly See
Mechanical neck pain
Mechanical neck pain often relates to how the joints, muscles, and supporting tissues of the neck are moving and tolerating daily stress. It may worsen with desk work, driving, workouts, sleeping awkwardly, or prolonged screen use.
Cervicogenic headaches
Some headaches are linked to dysfunction or tension in the neck. These headaches often begin at the base of the skull and may spread toward the temple, forehead, or behind the eye.
Muscle tension and postural strain
Long hours at a desk, stress, device use, and poor work setup can overload the neck and upper back, creating tension, stiffness, and recurring headaches.

When to Seek an Assessment
When to Seek an Assessment
Not every headache comes from the neck, and not every neck pain presentation should be treated the same way. Assessment helps us decide whether chiropractic care is appropriate and what kind of treatment is most likely to help.
