Neck Pain & Headache Relief in Overland Park

What Causes Neck Pain and Headaches?

Modern life puts a lot of strain on the neck. Hours at a computer, poor posture, stress, and even improper breathing mechanics can all contribute to tension, tight muscles, and radiating symptoms like jaw pain or migraines.

Common Causes We Treat:

• Poor Posture: Slouched shoulders and forward head posture from long days at a desk or phone use.
• Screen Time Overload: Tech neck is real—and it creates stiffness, tension, and headaches behind the eyes or base of the skull.
• Jaw Tension (TMJ): Clenching and grinding can overload the neck, trap muscles, and upper back.
• Chronic Stress: When stress builds, your muscles tighten—especially around the neck, shoulders, and upper spine.
• Past Injury or Imbalance: Old sports injuries, car accidents, or uneven movement patterns often leave the neck vulnerable.

At Move, we don’t just crack and send you out the door. We combine chiropractic adjustments, active rehab, myofascial release, and movement retraining—all under one roof—to treat the real cause and get you moving better, longer.

Our Treatment Approach

At Move Muscle & Joint, we believe movement is medicine. That’s why we focus on active, hands-on therapies that restore function, reduce pain, and keep you moving long after you leave the clinic.

Rather than relying on passive machines or generic adjustments, we tailor each treatment to your body and goals. Whether you're struggling with neck tension, TMJ issues, or recurring headaches, our approach is built for long-term results — not temporary relief.

• Chiropractic Adjustments – to restore joint mobility and reduce nervous system interference
• Myofascial Release Therapy – to relieve tension, break up tight fascia, and eliminate trigger points
• Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (EWST) – to accelerate healing in chronic muscle and tendon injuries

What to Expect During Treatment:

In the initial phase of care, frequent visits may be recommended to effectively manage and reduce pain. As your condition improves, we may incorporate additional therapies such as physical rehabilitation exercises to strengthen muscles and prevent recurrence.​

Your comfort and preferences are paramount. If you have prior experience with chiropractic care and favor a specific technique, our chiropractors are more than willing to accommodate your requests. We ensure clear communication throughout the treatment process, so you know what to expect at every step.​
