Neck Pain Treatment
— Including the Headaches That Come With It
Renew Spine & Wellness treats cervical spine pain at the source — postural strain, disc involvement, stiffness, and the headaches that often trace back to the same place.
If Your Neck Pain Comes With Headaches, That Connection Is Worth Examining
Many patients who come in for neck pain also have recurring headaches. In a significant number of cases, those headaches are cervicogenic — originating from cervical spine misalignment and the muscle tension surrounding it, not from a separate condition. When the cervical cause is addressed, the headaches often resolve along with the neck pain.
If you're dealing with both, they may share a single source. A full cervical evaluation will identify whether that's the case.
A Straightforward Answer About Cervical Adjustments and Safety
Concerns about cervical adjustments are common — and they're driven largely by misleading content online. Here is a factual statement: cervical adjustments performed by a licensed, trained chiropractor are among the safest manual interventions available for neck pain. Dr. Cody has performed thousands of cervical adjustments in Newark since 2014.
Before any adjustment at Renew, Dr. Cody explains what he's doing and why. If you have concerns, you raise them. If you're not comfortable with a specific technique, there are others. The first visit is the right time to ask anything you need to ask — and we'd rather answer those questions than skip past them.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first appointment starts with a full health history review and evaluation of the cervical spine. X-rays are taken if indicated. Dr. Cody identifies what's structurally happening before any treatment begins — and then treatment begins that same day.
Every care plan is built around your specific condition and your goals. Neck pain that developed over months doesn't resolve in a single visit, but the direction is clear from the start and progress is measurable throughout.
Why Neck Pain Tends to Stick Around
Neck pain that doesn't resolve on its own usually has a structural cause: vertebrae under sustained positional stress, cervical discs compressed by forward head posture, or joints moving improperly after an injury. Stretching and heat address the discomfort temporarily. They don't restore alignment or resolve the underlying mechanics producing the problem.
Most of the neck pain patients we see in Newark didn't get here through a single incident. It built gradually — through desk work, screen time, poor sleeping position, or the cumulative effect of physical demand. Gradual causes respond to systematic treatment. That's what chiropractic addresses.
What's Usually Behind Cervical Spine Pain
Common causes of neck pain treated at Renew:
Forward head posture and tech neck —
Sustained screen and desk positioning that shifts the head forward, creating compounding stress on the cervical spine over time
Cervical disc involvement —
Discs under compression that affect joint mobility and produce radiating pain or numbness into the shoulders and arms
Acute cervical strain —
Injury-related misalignment from auto accidents, whiplash, or sudden impact
Cervicogenic stiffness —
Restricted joint movement in the cervical vertebrae that limits range of motion and produces chronic tension
Sleep position strain —
Overnight positioning that places the cervical spine in sustained misalignment without corrective movement
Each of these has a chiropractic-specific treatment pathway. The first step is understanding which one — or which combination — is present.

Customer Testimonials on Google
What services does Dr. John Jung offer?
Dr. Jung’s clinic offers chiropractic care, acupuncture, shockwave therapy, functional medicine, autoimmune-focused support, concussion treatment, chronic pain treatment, and performance-focused care including body hacking and brain chemistry support. Many people choose the clinic because these options can be coordinated together instead of handled in separate offices. If you’re unsure where to start, the first step is choosing the primary concern you want to improve. From there, the plan can be organized around what matters most first.
Do you provide acupuncture and chiropractic at the same clinic?
Yes—both chiropractic care and acupuncture are available in the same Barrington clinic. This makes it easier to build a coordinated plan without bouncing between providers. Some patients use both approaches during the same phase of care, while others begin with one and add the other as needed. The goal is to match therapies to your symptoms and response, not force a one-size approach.
Can you help if I’m not sure what treatment I need?
Yes—many patients start out uncertain, especially when symptoms are complex or have lasted a long time. A clear starting point is usually your main limiting problem (pain, flare cycles, brain fog, dizziness, fatigue, etc.). From there, care can be structured to test what helps and refine based on real changes you notice. You’ll leave with a plan that feels organized and doable, not a list of random options.
Do you treat concussions and post-concussion symptoms?
Yes—concussion treatment is one of the clinic’s focused services, including support for symptoms like headaches, dizziness, brain fog, sleep disruption, and sensitivity to light or noise. Many people seek care when rest alone hasn’t resolved the problem or when symptoms keep returning with activity. The approach is designed to support daily function and steady improvement, based on how your nervous system is responding. If you’re dealing with lingering symptoms, it’s worth exploring options that go beyond waiting it out.
Do you offer virtual or online consultations?
Yes—online consultations are available for patients who need guidance from home or who live outside the Barrington area. Virtual visits can be helpful for care planning, follow-ups, and functional medicine-focused support. If you’re local, you can combine in-person care with online check-ins for flexibility. The goal is to make it easier to stay consistent, even with a full schedule or travel limitations.

Neck Pain Questions from Newark Patients
Can a chiropractor help with chronic neck pain in Newark, Ohio?
Yes. Chiropractic care addresses cervical spine misalignment — the structural cause behind most chronic neck pain. Dr. Cody evaluates the cervical spine on the first visit, takes X-rays if indicated, and begins treatment the same day.
Does chiropractic help with neck stiffness and headaches together?
Often yes. Many headaches have a cervicogenic origin — meaning they're driven by cervical spine misalignment and surrounding muscle tension rather than a separate condition. Addressing the neck frequently resolves the headaches along with the stiffness.
I sit at a desk all day and my neck keeps getting worse. Can chiropractic reverse that?
Forward head posture from prolonged screen use creates real, measurable structural stress on the cervical spine over time. Chiropractic care combined with postural guidance addresses the cause, not just the discomfort. Gradual onset responds well to systematic correction.
Is it safe to have my neck adjusted by a chiropractor?
Yes. Cervical adjustments performed by a licensed chiropractor are among the safest manual interventions for neck pain. At Renew, Dr. Cody explains every adjustment before performing it, and your comfort level guides every step of care.
What if my neck pain started after a car accident?
Whiplash and acute cervical strain from auto accidents are conditions Dr. Cody treats at Renew. Your first visit includes a full evaluation to assess the nature and extent of the injury before any treatment begins.
