Neck Pain Relief in Morgantown
Neck pain can stop you in your tracks. Dr. Stephen Toth takes it seriously because the neck houses delicate joints, muscles, and important nerves. Many people ask for a quick “crack,” but real relief comes from creating the right environment for healing. At Toth Chiropractic and Wellness, you’ll get a careful plan that aims to reduce stress in the area, restore motion, and teach you how to keep it that way.
Your In-depth Evaluation
A thoughtful evaluation comes first. Dr. Toth begins with a detailed consultation, including questions about headaches, prior episodes, and what makes your pain better or worse. He evaluates posture from the back and side, then performs a seated examination with motion palpation, a hands-on method to assess how each joint moves.
Range of motion testing and muscle palpation help pinpoint areas that are restricted or sore. Imaging is used only when truly necessary to keep costs and radiation low.
Gentle, Function-Focused Chiropractic Care
Dr. Toth works with the muscles and takes extra time rather than forcing a fast adjustment. He blends Diversified, Thompson, and Activator® techniques—precise chiropractic methods that help restore motion safely. Traction may be used to gently open the joints and reduce pressure, while neuromuscular re-education introduces simple exercises that retrain posture and movement. He also checks contributing areas below the neck so the entire spine can share the load.
Conditions Our Care Addresses
We help patients with the following:
- Sharp or aching neck pain and stiffness
- Headaches, including cervicogenic types, starting at the base of the skull
- Limited turning or tilting of the head
- Pain, numbness, or tingling in the shoulder or arm
- Torticollis or a “locked” neck after sleep or strain
In acute cases, care is cautious and incremental, sometimes involving a short course of anti-inflammatory medications and close follow-up. The goal is steady progress, often improving symptoms from constant to intermittent over weeks, while function gradually improves.
