Neck Pain Chiropractor in Milwaukie, OR
Neck pain after a car accident, a fall or long hours at a desk usually comes from strained joints, muscles or ligaments. At our Milwaukie clinic, a chiropractic physician finds the source with a hands-on exam, takes X-rays only if your findings call for them, and builds a written plan of adjustments, soft-tissue work and rehab.
Our Milwaukie clinic sits beside OR-224 (the Milwaukie Expressway) near SE Lake Rd, serving patients across Milwaukie, Oak Grove, Gladstone, Happy Valley, and Clackamas County.
New-patient exam, $27. Includes your first treatment; X-rays are not included. Not available to Medicare, Medicaid (OHP) or TRICARE beneficiaries.

Finding the source of neck pain in Milwaukie
Your exam checks how each part of your neck moves, which muscles are guarding, and whether a nerve is involved, with strength, reflex, and sensation tests in your arms. That tells us whether the pain comes mostly from the joints, the soft tissue, or both.
Care then matches the source: adjustments or gentler mobilization for stiff joints, soft-tissue work and massage for tight muscles, and exercises that rebuild support for your head and shoulders. Traction and kinesiotaping are available here when your exam supports them. For a deeper look, see our neck pain guide.

Common questions about neck pain in Milwaukie
How long does neck pain last after a car accident?
Most soft-tissue injuries heal on a 12-week active-recovery window, and the tissue keeps strengthening for up to a year. Your plan starts at 2 to 3 visits a week and tapers as you improve. We measure your progress at every re-exam, so your visits follow your exam, not the calendar.
Is it safe to have my neck adjusted?
Serious problems are rare. We screen you first, and if a quick adjustment isn’t right for you, gentle low-force techniques and mobilization work too. You can always ask us to change the approach.
Can desk work cause neck pain?
Yes. Long hours at a screen can strain the joints and muscles of the neck. We look at how you sit and move, treat what we find, and give you exercises you can do at your desk.
Will insurance cover neck pain care in Milwaukie?
After a crash, Oregon PIP usually does. For everyday neck pain, we work with most health plans and check your benefits before your first visit.
What’s the route from downtown Milwaukie to your clinic?
Start at City Hall on SE Main St and follow SE Harrison St for half a mile. Turn right onto OR-224 east and drive 2.0 miles. Turn left onto SE Rusk Rd, and you’ll see us on the right. If a stiff neck makes checking traffic hard, ask a friend or family member to drive you.
