Most neck pain is mechanical, which means it responds well to the right care. Dr. Hector Martinez, DC treats the source of your neck pain with chiropractic and acupuncture so you can turn your head, sleep well, and get through the day without it.
Neck pain rarely starts on its own. A joint that has lost its normal motion, hours spent looking down at a screen, or muscles bracing against poor posture can all set off pain that lingers and stiffens. Pain relievers may quiet the symptoms for a while, but they do nothing to fix what is actually wrong.
At Tri Modern Health, Dr. Martinez begins with a thorough exam to find out exactly what is driving your pain. From there he builds a focused plan that restores motion to the neck, takes pressure off irritated nerves, and rebuilds the support your neck needs to stay well. When neck dysfunction is also triggering headaches and migraines, that is part of the plan too.
Care is tailored to you. Dr. Martinez offers everything from traditional hands on adjustments to gentle, instrument assisted techniques like the Activator, so your treatment fits both your condition and your comfort level.
Whether your pain came on suddenly after an accident or has built up slowly from years at a desk, there is usually a clear mechanical cause we can address.
Your first visit starts with a conversation. Dr. Martinez will listen to your history, learn how the pain affects your day, and perform a hands on exam to pinpoint the joints, nerves, and muscles involved.
Once he understands the cause, he will explain what he found in plain language and walk you through your options. You will leave knowing what is wrong, what the plan is, and roughly how long it should take.
Many patients begin gentle treatment the same day. Dr. Martinez also teaches simple home exercises and posture changes, including how to set up your workstation and phone habits, so the relief you gain in the office holds between visits.
New Patient InformationDr. Martinez combines several proven approaches under one roof, so your care fits your body instead of forcing your body to fit one method.

About Chiropractic CareFor stubborn muscle tension and inflammation in the neck and shoulders, acupuncture can calm the nervous system and improve blood flow to the area, complementing your chiropractic care beautifully.
About AcupunctureYes. Most neck pain is mechanical, which means it comes from joints, muscles, and posture rather than a serious disease, and that responds well to chiropractic care. Dr. Martinez restores normal motion to the neck, eases pressure on irritated nerves, and addresses the posture habits that keep the pain coming back, so you treat the cause instead of masking it.
For most people, yes. Dr. Martinez offers a full range of techniques, from traditional hands on adjustments to gentle, instrument assisted methods like the Activator for patients who feel nervous about having their neck adjusted. Your exam comes first, and if it suggests you need imaging or a referral before care, we will tell you.
Tech neck comes from hours of looking down at phones, laptops, and screens, which pulls the head forward and loads the joints and muscles of the neck. Over time that forward head posture leads to stiffness, aching, and headaches. Dr. Martinez restores motion to the stiff joints, relaxes the overworked muscles, and teaches you simple posture and workstation changes so the relief holds.
Tight muscles and restricted joints at the base of the skull can refer pain up into the head, a pattern often called a tension or cervicogenic headache. When the neck is the source, treating the neck is what brings lasting relief. Dr. Martinez also sees patients specifically for headaches and migraines, and neck care is often a big part of that plan.
Many patients notice meaningful relief within the first few visits, though lasting results depend on how long the problem has been present and what is causing it. After your exam, Dr. Martinez will give you an honest estimate of how many visits to expect before you commit to a plan.
