Cervicalgia, commonly known as neck pain, affects millions of people and can significantly disrupt daily activities, work, and sleep. Whether caused by poor posture, injury, or degenerative changes, neck pain often leads to stiffness, headaches, and reduced range of motion.

At Family Chiropractic of Clark and New York, Dr. Tricia Mastropietro specializes in diagnosing and treating cervicalgia using evidence-based chiropractic care. We focus on identifying the underlying causes of your neck discomfort to provide targeted, effective relief without relying on medication or surgery.
