When Nothing Helped His Neck Pain—Until He Tried This

Mark was a project manager who lived by deadlines and caffeine. Twelve-hour days at his desk turned into twelve weeks of chronic neck pain. He tried everything—chiropractic adjustments, stretching, massage, even ergonomic chairs that promised miracles. Nothing lasted. Every time the pressure built up again, the ache would creep back behind his skull and down his shoulders.


Then a colleague mentioned something he’d never heard of before: Adhesion Release Methods. Skeptical but desperate, Mark booked a session. Within weeks, he started to notice something different—not just temporary relief, but lasting change. His neck started to move again. The headaches eased. For the first time in years, he could focus without that dull throb in the background.


What We Found

Neck pain rarely comes from just “tight muscles.” Often, it’s the hidden adhesions—tiny layers of scar-like tissue binding muscles, nerves, or joints together—that lock up movement and compress nerves.


When adhesion is present, it acts like glue between structures that are meant to slide and move freely. That loss of glide means every simple motion—like turning your head, looking down at a screen, or driving—creates excess tension in surrounding tissues. Over time, that restriction shifts the workload to the discs and joints, which aren’t built to handle constant strain. The result? Faster wear-and-tear, more inflammation, and that deep, stubborn stiffness that seems to never go away.


In Mark’s case, we found:

  • Adhesion around the thoracic joint restricting the glide of the upper back and neck connection.

  • Tethering near the spinal accessory nerve, which controls shoulder elevation and stability.

  • Adhesion between cervical vertebrae, reducing segmental movement and forcing the

  • discs and joints to absorb stress they were never meant to handle.


By gently and precisely releasing those problem areas, we restored normal motion where the body had been locked down for years. Once movement returned, the pressure on his joints eased—and the pain finally started to disappear.


You Don’t Have to Keep Managing Pain


If you’ve tried everything—stretching, massage, chiropractic, medication—and you’re still stuck in a pain loop, you might be dealing with adhesion. The good news? It’s one of the most fixable problems in the body—if you know how to find it.


📅 Book a consult today to see if you’re a good candidate for Adhesion Release Methods, and start reclaiming the movement and energy you’ve been missing.
