From “tech neck” to waking up unable to turn your head, neck pain affects how you work, drive and sleep. Here is how we help. Flagler Chiropractic is at 1240 S. Oceanshore Blvd., Flagler Beach, FL — call (386) 439-9001.
Common causes of neck pain
- Forward-head posture from phones, laptops and long drives
- Sleeping in an awkward position or on the wrong pillow
- Whiplash from car accidents or falls
- Degenerative changes and arthritis in the cervical spine
- Irritated nerves (cervical radiculopathy) causing pain, tingling or numbness into the arm
Our approach
After a focused exam, Dr. Lemnouni may use cervical adjustments, the low-force Activator Method, soft-tissue work, stretching and K-Laser therapy. Upper-back (thoracic) adjustments often help too, because a stiff mid-back makes the neck work harder.
You can watch Dr. Lemnouni treat cervical radiculopathy in one of our YouTube videos to see what a visit looks like.
At-home habits that help
- Raise screens to eye level; hold your phone higher.
- Take a 30-second movement break every 30 minutes of screen time.
- Use a pillow that keeps your neck level with your spine.
- Gentle chin tucks and shoulder-blade squeezes through the day.
Red flags
Seek emergency care for neck pain with severe sudden headache, trouble speaking or swallowing, vision changes, or weakness — or after significant trauma.

Frequently asked questions
Can a chiropractor help a pinched nerve in the neck?
Many people with cervical radiculopathy improve with conservative care such as adjustments, traction and soft-tissue therapy. We will assess your nerve function and refer out if needed.
Are there gentle options for neck adjustments?
Yes. The Activator Method and other low-force techniques move joints without twisting or “cracking.”
What is tech neck?
A nickname for neck and upper-back strain from looking down at phones and screens for long periods.
