Neck pain doesn’t occur in isolation. When foot mechanics are restricted — especially on one side — the pelvis rotates, the spine compensates, and the neck muscles are forced to work overtime just to keep your head upright. Over time, this leads to fatigue, stiffness, and persistent pain. By addressing foot mobility, hip mechanics, ribcage position, and whole-body movement patterns, long-term neck pain can be reduced and prevented. At Neurohealth Wellness, we take a ground-up approach to help your entire system move better, stay aligned, and remain pain-free.

Persistent hip pain isn’t always a hip problem. As this patient’s story shows, limited big toe extension can disrupt the entire movement chain, forcing the hip to work harder and move less efficiently. By restoring proper foot mechanics, we were able to rebuild loading, reduce compensation, and return smooth, pain-free movement. At Neurohealth Wellness, our chiropractors assess the whole body—not just the painful area—so we can identify the true source of dysfunction. If your hip has been tight, sore, or unreliable for months or years, it may be time to look beyond the hip itself. Book a global movement assessment with our team and reconnect your foot, hip, and whole body for long-term relief.
