Neck pain is one of the most common reasons people seek care at London Chiropractic & Massage Clinic. For many patients in London, Ontario, neck pain is related to long hours at a desk, poor posture, repetitive strain, stress, or prolonged screen use.
At London Chiropractic & Massage Clinic, we provide neck pain and tech neck treatment in London, ON through a coordinated care model that may include Chiropractic, Physiotherapy, Registered Massage Therapy, Acupuncture, and, at our Hamilton Road location, Manual Osteopathic Treatment, depending on your symptoms, goals, and how your condition is presenting.
Whether your discomfort began suddenly or has been building over time, our goal is to reduce pain, improve mobility, and address the underlying cause of the problem.
What Is Tech Neck?
“Tech neck” refers to the strain placed on the neck, upper back, and surrounding muscles from repeatedly looking down at a phone, laptop, or other screen. Over time, these postural habits can place increased stress on the joints, muscles, discs, and supporting structures of the cervical spine.
Tech neck can affect office workers, students, tradespeople, health professionals, and anyone spending long hours on devices or at a workstation.
Common Symptoms of Neck Pain and Tech Neck
- Neck stiffness or restricted movement
- Pain when turning your head
- Tension in the shoulders or upper back
- Pain between the shoulder blades
- Headaches linked to posture or muscle tension
- Pain that worsens after desk work, computer use, or looking down at your phone
- Trouble sleeping comfortably due to neck pain
What Can Contribute to Neck Pain?
- Prolonged desk work or screen use
- Poor posture or workstation setup
- Joint restriction in the neck or upper back
- Muscle tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper back
- Previous strain or injury
- Stress-related tension
- Reduced mobility and deconditioning
How We Treat Neck Pain at London Chiropractic & Massage Clinic
Treatment is based on your assessment findings and may include a combination of services and therapies. Depending on your presentation, your care may involve:
- Chiropractic treatment, including spinal adjustments where appropriate
- Physiotherapy to improve movement quality, mobility, and strength
- Registered Massage Therapy to reduce muscle tension and soft tissue restriction
- At our Hamilton Road location, Manual Osteopathic Treatment may also be incorporated into care for patients seeking a gentler hands-on approach as part of a coordinated treatment plan
- Acupuncture as part of an integrated plan, provided by Dr. Eric Jackson, Dr. Keith Leung, Dr. Chris Lindner, and Chi Ho Don Mok, RMT where clinically appropriate
- Bioflex Laser Therapy to help reduce inflammation and support tissue healing in both acute and chronic cases
- Mobility, stretching, and strengthening exercises
- Postural correction and ergonomic recommendations
Why Bioflex Laser Therapy May Be Recommended
For some patients with neck pain, Bioflex Laser Therapy may be added to care to help calm irritated tissues, reduce inflammation, and support healing. This can be especially helpful when pain is persistent, when muscles and soft tissues are highly irritated, or when we want to support recovery as part of a broader treatment plan.
Why Coordinated Care Matters
Not all neck pain responds best to one type of treatment alone. Some patients benefit most from a combination of Chiropractic, Physiotherapy, Massage Therapy, Acupuncture, and, where appropriate, Manual Osteopathic Treatment. Our multidisciplinary team allows us to coordinate care based on what your body needs and how you are progressing.

Muscle Tension & Overuse Injuries
Daily strain, repetitive movements, and poor posture can lead to tight muscles and discomfort. Massage helps release tension and restore healthy movement patterns.
Chronic Pain Conditions
Massage therapy can help manage persistent discomfort such as back pain, neck tension, and shoulder tightness by improving blood flow and reducing muscular restrictions.
Sports Injuries
For active individuals, massage supports muscle recovery, reduces soreness, and helps prevent recurring injuries.
Stress-Related Tension
Physical stress often presents as tightness in the neck, shoulders, and upper back. Therapeutic massage promotes relaxation while relieving built-up muscular tension.
Motor Vehicle Accident Injuries
We specialize in treating motor vehicle accident injuries. Massage therapy can be an important part of a structured recovery plan to restore mobility and reduce soft tissue discomfort following an accident.
