Who We Help

Three kinds of neck pain. One real fix.

Neck pain rarely shows up the same way twice. Here’s how we approach the most common patterns that walk through our door — and what’s actually driving each one.

Tech Neck
Phones, tablets, screens.
The slow-burn ache that builds across the workday and never quite resets. Forward-head posture loads the upper cervical spine with weight it wasn’t designed to carry. We address the alignment issue, not just the soreness.
Posture & Stress
Tension you can’t stretch out.
When stress and posture compound, the neck and upper back become the storage unit for it. Stretching helps for an hour. Real correction means restoring the spinal mechanics underneath the tension, so it stops coming back.
Injury & Whiplash
Accidents, falls, sudden impact.
Rear-ended at a stoplight. A bad fall. A sports impact. Even when X-rays come back clean, the soft tissue and nervous system damage is real — and untreated whiplash often turns into chronic neck pain years later.

Why Choose Us

Two specialized tools. One precise diagnosis.

Most chiropractors take a manual approach to neck pain — the same twisting and cracking applied to every patient. We work differently. After a full nervous system scan and digital X-rays, we use Torque Release Technique to make precise, instrument-based adjustments to the cervical spine — no twisting, no cracking, no force. The upper neck is where the brain meets the body, and it’s exactly where neurological precision matters most.

For neck pain driven by disc compression, pinched nerves, or whiplash injury, we add Cervi-Trac cervical decompression to the plan. It’s the cervical attachment for our Back On Trac system — FDA-cleared, hands-free, and gentle enough that most patients describe the sessions as relaxing. Combined with TRT adjustments, it’s a real path back to mobility for cases that haven’t responded to medication, injections, or physical therapy.

Cervi-Trac Is Ideal For
Neck pain rooted in discs, nerves, or injury.
  • Bulging or herniated cervical discs
  • Pinched nerves & radiating arm pain
  • Whiplash & auto accident injuries
  • Tech neck & postural strain
  • Chronic tension headaches
  • Reduced range of motion

Real Results

Real San Antonio patients. Real neck pain relief.

Verified five-star Google reviews from patients who came in with chronic neck pain, herniated discs, and headaches — and found relief after years of trying everything else.

Headaches & Neck

“Dr. Thor is amazing at what he does. I was his patient for years, and saw great results. He really helped me with my headaches, neck pain, and back pain. If you are not going here for treatment, you are missing out!”

Kristin Wood Verified Google Review
Herniated Discs

“I have had neck issues from old herniated discs for years. I came in with pain at an 11 and an inability to get out of bed without using a neck pillow to pull me up. I’ve only been coming for a month and I’m feeling so much better — my range of motion and pain are amazingly improved.”

Neck & Headaches

“Dr. Woerner is the best! He has already helped me so much with my back, knee, and neck pain. I’m able to sleep so much better and my headaches are completely gone. I feel great after every visit, and I’m able to do tasks around my home now without being in pain!”

Neck Pain FAQs

Common questions about neck pain.

No. We don’t crack, twist, or use manual force on the neck — ever. Our adjustments use Torque Release Technique, an FDA-cleared instrument called the Integrator that delivers a precise, gentle impulse to the exact spot that needs it. No popping, no sudden movement, no surprise. It’s why so many of our neck pain patients say it’s the first chiropractic care they’ve been comfortable with.
Almost always. The upper cervical spine sits at the junction of the brain and body, so dysfunction there rarely stays isolated. Tension headaches, jaw pain, shoulder tightness, even arm numbness or tingling can all trace back to neck issues. We address the source, which is why patients often report multiple symptoms improving from the same care plan.
It varies. Some patients with acute neck pain feel a difference after the first or second adjustment. Chronic cases — especially those involving disc issues or old whiplash — usually take a few weeks of consistent care before things shift. We’ll give you a realistic timeline at your first visit based on your scans, not vague promises.
Yes, and this is exactly the kind of case Cervi-Trac was built for. The cervical attachment for our Back On Trac decompression system gently reduces pressure on the affected disc and surrounding nerves, hands-free, with no straps or restraints. Combined with TRT adjustments, it’s a non-surgical path that’s helped patients with herniated and bulging discs avoid more aggressive treatment.
Yes. Whiplash is one of the most common injuries we see, and it’s also one of the most under-treated — X-rays often come back clean even when there’s real damage to the soft tissue and nervous system. Untreated whiplash routinely turns into chronic neck pain years later. We coordinate with attorneys and insurance when needed, and we provide complete documentation. (Our car accident chiropractic page covers the broader picture.)
