Relief that starts with the real source of your back and neck pain.
Most back and neck pain isn’t random — it traces back to how your spine moves, how you sit and lift, or an old injury that never fully healed. We find that source, ease the pain gently, and help keep it from coming back.
At a glance
What it feels like
Stiffness, aching, or sharp catches in the back or neck — often worse after sitting, sleeping, or a long day.
Common causes
Everyday strain and posture, an old injury that lingered, or spinal joints that have drifted out of alignment.
The good news
Most cases respond well to gentle, low-force care once the underlying cause is found and addressed.
The basics
What is back and neck pain?
Back and neck pain is discomfort along the spine and the muscles around it — usually a sign that the joints, muscles, or nerves in your back or neck aren’t moving and working the way they should.
It can show up as a dull ache that never quite leaves, a stiff neck you can’t turn, or a sudden sharp catch when you bend or twist. Sometimes it comes from one obvious moment — lifting a box, a fender bender, a bad night’s sleep — but just as often it builds quietly over months of sitting, screen time, and small strains that add up. Because the spine houses the nerves that carry pain signals, trouble in one area can radiate into your shoulders, hips, or arms. The point of care isn’t just to quiet the ache; it’s to find what’s driving it and help your body move freely again.
The signs
Signs it’s worth getting looked at.
- A dull ache or stiffness in your back or neck that keeps returning.
- Reduced range of motion — trouble turning your head or bending without a catch.
- Pain that flares after sitting, sleeping, or long hours at a desk or wheel.
- Muscle tightness or spasms that seem to come out of nowhere.
- Aching, tingling, or numbness spreading into your shoulders or arms.
- Frequent tension headaches that start at the base of your skull.
If any of these sound familiar — especially pain that lingers past a week or two, or keeps coming back — it’s worth having it looked at before your body adapts around it.
Where it starts
What’s actually causing it.
Everyday strain & posture
Hours at a desk, phone in hand, or repetitive lifting slowly overload the muscles and joints of the spine. The strain rarely announces itself — it builds until a small movement finally tips it into pain.
Injury & old trauma
A car accident, a fall, a sports collision, or a work injury can leave the spine moving differently long after the bruise fades. Pain that seems to appear “for no reason” often traces back to trauma the body never fully recovered from.
Spinal misalignment
When spinal joints drift out of their normal alignment and stop moving well, nearby muscles compensate and the nerves that pass through get irritated. Restoring that motion is often where lasting relief begins.
Our approach
How we treat back and neck pain.
We work in a simple order: find the source, relieve the pain gently, then help keep it from returning. No aggressive twisting, no one-size-fits-all plan.
01
Find the source
We start with a thorough look at how your spine moves, where it’s restricted, and what’s feeding the pain — so care targets the cause, not just the sore spot.
02
Relieve it gently
Gentle, low-force adjustments restore motion to stiff joints, while cold laser therapy helps calm inflamed, aggravated tissue — comfortable enough for kids and seniors alike.
03
Prevent the return
We pair adjustments with enzyme nutrition and simple movement and posture guidance, so your body has what it needs to hold the progress and stay out of pain.

Questions people ask about back and neck pain
Is the adjustment going to hurt or involve forceful cracking?
No. Dr. Marrone uses gentle, low-force technique designed to restore motion comfortably. It’s effective for athletes and gentle enough for children, seniors, and anyone nervous about traditional adjusting.
How long until I feel better?
Everyone is different, and we never promise a cure or a fixed timeline. Many people notice more ease and motion within the first few visits, while long-standing or injury-related pain usually takes a steadier plan. We’ll give you an honest picture after your first evaluation.
Do I need a referral or imaging first?
No referral is needed — you can book directly. At your visit we’ll assess how your spine moves and talk through your history; if imaging would help clarify the picture, we’ll discuss that with you rather than assume it.
What is cold laser therapy, and why do you use it?
Cold laser is a gentle, drug-free therapy that uses low-level light to help calm inflammation and support tissue recovery in aggravated muscles and joints. We pair it with adjustments so the area that’s causing your pain has a better chance to settle and heal.
My pain is from a car accident or work injury — can you help?
Yes. Auto-accident, whiplash, and work-related back and neck injuries are a core part of the practice. We document your care so it supports your claim, and coordinate as needed throughout your recovery.
