Addressing the causes of neck pain at ProHealth Chiropractic in the Northwest

Persistent neck pain is more than an inconvenience – it can affect your sleep, concentration, driving, work, and overall quality of life. Whether you wake with stiffness, struggle to turn your head, or notice frequent tension headaches, these are common signs that your neck may need attention. At ProHealth Chiropractic in Chorley, we support people across Lancashire with gentle, personalised chiropractic care for both recent and long-standing neck pain.

Thorough neck pain assessment and personalised care

Our approach focuses on understanding what may be contributing to your discomfort rather than simply trying to mask symptoms. We begin with a detailed examination of your neck (cervical spine), looking at posture, movement, muscle tension and how your joints are functioning. This helps us build a care plan tailored to you.

Your plan may include specific chiropractic adjustments, practical advice, and simple steps you can use at home to support your recovery.

We structure care in phases, so you know what to expect:



Relief – aimed at easing pain and improving comfort



Rehabilitation – focused on improving joint function and posture



Restoration – supporting long-term neck health and reducing the chance of recurring problems

Some people notice changes quickly, while others with longer-standing issues may need more time and consistency. Your progress can be influenced by:



How long you have had neck pain



Your daily activities and posture habits



General health and lifestyle factors



The nature of the underlying problem



Previous injuries or trauma

At the start of care, we may recommend more frequent visits, gradually reducing them as your neck improves. Many patients choose occasional maintenance visits to help them stay comfortable and active.

Understanding how your neck works

Your neck, or cervical spine, is designed for mobility but also has the significant role of supporting and protecting the upper part of your nervous system. The top two vertebrae, known as C1 (Atlas) and C2 (Axis), allow you to turn and tilt your head while helping to safeguard the transition between the brain and spinal cord.

When the joints of the neck are not moving well, this can contribute to stiffness, muscle tension, and irritation of nearby nerves. This may be linked with symptoms such as neck pain, reduced movement, headaches, shoulder tension, and upper back discomfort. Careful assessment and gentle chiropractic techniques aim to improve how these joints move and function.

I had struggled with back pain for years. ProHealth didn’t just ease the pain - they taught me exercises and techniques that keep me moving comfortably every day.”

The staff is so friendly and organized. I haven’t had a massage like this in a very long time! I highly recommend! I’ll def be coming back!

This is the best physical therapy clinic I have ever been to. I have had several issues with my shoulder and two hip replacements and have gone to other services for PT. However this has been the best of any place I have been.

Robert Tootell (Golf Rehab)

Thank you to Michael and Jordan, and the Team at ProHealth Chiropractic in Chorley, for their assistance Whilst playing golf on Easter Day (2021), I suffered an injury to the middle of my Back. The pain worsened over the next few days until I was struggling to sit up from a horizontal (resting) position, to stand from a sitting position, and to walk without feeling pain in my lower back. I was not in a good place. In the hunt for help and assistance I visited ProHealth Chiropractic. After listening to my tale of woe on the golf course, and a realisation on my part, that probably years of operating a poor Back posture had not helped, I would like to pass on my thanks to Jordan (for the physio) and Michael (for the Chiro) that was gratefully received. I’m now in much better shape, playing golf again, and with an improved understanding of good Back posture, and stretching exercises that I practice often, in an attempt to prevent recurrence of injury. In turn, this learning will hopefully assist me further in later years, although, I’m not sure if it will improve my golf handicap, but I will find out!

Jozef De Brabander (Massage)

As a tourist I visited Michael Hannaway , on July 27, in great pain. He helped me for instance and listened to my complaints. He took the time to listen . It was a pain I had for a long time . I received treatment from. Michael and sports massage from sir. Jordan Howarth , after which I left with much less pain. We had considered stopping our journey, now we could continue our journey. I would like to express my special thanks to Michael Hannaway , sir. Howarth and his Clinic. I can highly recommend them and wish them all the best . Thank you very much and see you one day in Bruges-Belgium. A grateful and painless patient

Shannon Simpson (Hip Pain)

I've had issues with pain in my lower back and right hip area since 2018 and finally decided to get myself booked in to see a chiropractor. After my first 4 visits, the constant pressure and pain I had been suffering with since 2018 has now gone and my back, neck and pelvis are feeling the best they've felt in years!

Willow Hailwood: (Shoulder)

I am seeing Claire and jordan for a shoulder issue and they have been nothing but kind, gentle and respectful since I've been going to ProHealth - I previously saw them for an issue with my knee and back that was sports related that is now healed from their treatment and they have always done their job to the highest standard. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for very experienced and highly trained professionals. Thank you guys!
