Between the cold winds off Lake Ontario and the hours we spend on screens, it’s no surprise necks feel tight this time of year. If you’ve noticed stiffness, tension, or that “heavy head” feeling—especially after commuting or working at your laptop—you’re in good company.
At Kore~Energy Chiropractic, we see how modern life shapes the neck and shoulders. The good news is: you don’t have to accept it as your new normal.
Why Neck Pain Builds So Easily
Your neck is built for movement, but it also carries a big load. When your head drifts forward toward a screen, the muscles at the base of the skull and the tops of the shoulders often take over and work overtime.
In Mississauga, a few common factors add to the strain:
- Long commutes on the 401/QEW with shoulders up and jaw tight
- Screen time that pulls the head forward and rounds the upper back
- Stress that settles right between the neck and shoulders
- Cold-weather “shrugging” that keeps the upper traps switched on
Over time, the neck can feel stiff, restricted, and sore—and it may even contribute to headaches.
Gentle, Personalized Care For A Delicate Area
The neck is sensitive, and your care should feel respectful and comfortable. Dr. Korenic uses a personalized approach, including manual and instrument-based techniques, depending on your needs and preference.
Our focus is to help your body:
- Restore healthier motion in the neck and upper back
- Ease tension patterns that keep you feeling tight
- Reduce irritation that can contribute to headaches or arm discomfort
- Improve comfort when turning your head, driving, or working
What Progress Can Look Like
Some people feel a noticeable sense of ease early on—like their neck isn’t working so hard. For others, especially when the issue has built up over months or years, the body needs consistency to unwind old patterns and stabilize new ones.
During your assessment, we’ll walk through what we’re seeing and what a realistic plan could look like for you.
