Neck Pain Relief in Las Cruces
If you’re tired of living with neck pain, tightness, or that stubborn “knot” between your shoulder blades, you’re not alone. Around 60% of new patients at Smith Wellness present with neck discomfort or symptoms that radiate into the shoulders and arms. Dr. Jonathan Smith knows how much this can affect sleep, mood, work, and everyday enjoyment. Care starts by looking past the sore spot to find what’s driving the problem—so relief can last.

A Smarter Way to Look at the Problem
Many people don’t realize that shoulder blade pain (even without obvious discomfort) often starts in the neck. A spine surgeon taught Dr. Smith to think in terms of the “geography of the neck,” using the bra line as a guide and evaluating the entire mechanical area above it. That means your neck, upper back, and shoulder mechanics are assessed together, not in isolation.
Care Tailored to Your Symptoms
Care at our Las Cruces office may help with:
- Stiffness, tightness, or “tech neck” from screens
- Knots or burning pain near the shoulder blades
- Radiating pain, numbness, or tingling into the arm or hand
- Neck-related headaches and some dizziness
- Weakness or nerve irritation linked to the area
Your plan may include chiropractic adjustments to improve joint motion, electrical stimulation to relax tight muscles and calm irritated nerves, and a targeted laser protocol to help reduce inflammation. If nerve pressure is involved, Dr. Smith may use gentle traction to create space and reduce strain on discs and nerve roots. Dry needling and targeted stretching also help release deeper tension that won’t settle with rest alone.
Helping You Find Longer-Lasting Relief
Modern life is hard on the neck, especially with long hours at a desk or on a phone. To support longer-lasting change, Dr. Smith often includes thoracic (mid-back) mobility work and simple at-home exercises that help open the front of the body and reduce forward-head posture. You’ll know what to do, what to avoid, and how to protect your neck between visits.
