Pain is your body’s way of signaling that something is wrong and if you’re experiencing neck pain, it’s not something you want to ignore. Neck pain is one of the most common medical complaints in the US, and it’s no surprise when you consider how much time the average person spends hunched over a computer screen and/or mobile phone.

However, there are a lot of other factors that can contribute to neck pain besides spending hours hunched over electronics. Sometimes, neck pain is a minor nuisance that can be remedied with simple lifestyle changes. But chronic neck pain can also be a sign of more serious issues.

A concussion is often labeled a “mild” brain injury, but if you or a loved one has experienced one, you know the effects can be anything but. While many people recover within a few days, others face lingering symptoms that can stretch into weeks, months, or even years. If this sounds familiar, you may be dealing with post-concussion syndrome (PCS)—a frustrating and sometimes debilitating condition that persists after a head injury.

You may be wondering how concussions, PCS, and chiropractic care relate to each other. After all, most treatments focus solely on the brain. However, at Atlas Specific, we believe in looking beyond symptom management and exploring an often overlooked piece of the recovery puzzle: the neck.

😣 Got Tech Neck? Your Smartphone Might Be Weighing Heavy on More Than Just Your Mind

Did you know that looking down at your phone at a 45-degree angle puts nearly 50 pounds of pressure on your neck? 🤯

It’s no wonder so many people are dealing with neck pain, stiffness, tension headaches, and poor posture—all symptoms of a modern condition known as Tech Neck (aka Text Neck).

At Atlas Specific in Durango, CO, we take a different approach. Our specialty is upper cervical care—a gentle, precise method that focuses on correcting misalignments at the top of your spine (C1 & C2). These tiny misalignments can cause big problems, especially if you're constantly looking down at screens.

📱 Whether you're working remotely, scrolling, or gaming—our care helps:
✅ Relieve neck pain and stiffness
✅ Improve posture and spinal balance
✅ Reduce tech-related headaches and fatigue
✅ Support long-term nervous system health

And the best part? No twisting of your neck. Just results.

💬 If you're tired of living with tension and ready to feel aligned again, we’d love to help.
