Why Your Neck Pain Isn’t Going Away - And What You Can Do About It Today

You’ve stretched it, iced it, maybe even taken painkillers—but your neck pain keeps coming back. 😣 That’s because many treatments only cover the symptom. At Northwood Chiropractic Oxford, we specialise in Gonstead chiropractic care—a method designed to locate and correct spinal misalignments 🧩 that may be keeping you stuck in a cycle of pain. Relief starts when you target the cause. ✅


🕵️‍♂️ The Real Reason Your Neck Still Hurts

Neck pain is incredibly common, but that doesn’t mean it’s normal. Whether it started after a poor night’s sleep 🛌, a long day at the desk 💻, or a minor accident 🚗, the issue often runs deeper than tight muscles.

In many cases, persistent neck pain is caused by spinal misalignments. These interfere with nerve signals 🔌, reduce mobility, and can lead to inflammation. Over time, even small misalignments can snowball into chronic discomfort, stiffness, and even headaches 🤯.


🩹 Why Traditional Treatments Often Fall Short

You’ve probably tried heat packs, massages, or even painkillers 💊—and they may have helped... for a while. But if the structure of your spine is out of alignment, those fixes are just temporary band-aids. 🩹

It’s like painting over a crack in the wall—until you fix the foundation, the problem keeps coming back. 🎯 That’s where Gonstead chiropractic stands out.


💡 How Gonstead Chiropractic Fixes the Cause—Not Just the Symptoms

At Northwood Chiropractic Oxford, we use the Gonstead Method—a precise, scientific approach to chiropractic care. Here’s what sets it apart:

🔍 Thorough Evaluation – We begin with a deep dive into your health: history, physical exams, and often X-rays to get a clear picture of your spine.
🎯 Targeted Adjustments – No guesswork here. We use exact techniques to correct specific misalignments without random twisting or chasing the crack!
📈 Trackable Progress – We measure your improvement and adjust your care plan as needed to help your body heal, not just cope.

By realigning your spine 🧍, we help relieve nerve pressure, restore movement, and support your body’s natural healing—so you’re not chasing symptoms anymore.

 You don’t have to be in pain to get checked by a Chiropractor. The primary purpose of Chiropractic is to check and restore function back to your spine and nervous system for optimal health. Just as a tooth cavity can develop long before it causes any pain, spinal misalignments can occur well in advance of any discomfort. Get on top of your health now and book your appointment
