Neck Tension & Stiffness Care in Downtown Vancouver
Neck tightness, stiffness, or headaches can make workdays long and outdoor plans less enjoyable. Hours at a screen, awkward sleep positions, and older injuries often play a role. At Harbourview Chiropractic & Massage Clinic, steps from Canada Place on the Downtown Vancouver waterfront, people visit for hands-on chiropractic care that looks at how their neck, upper back, and posture are working together. Same-day appointments and online booking make it easy to come in when you need to.
A Biomechanical, Hands-On Approach
Dr. Glen Woodman combines 30+ years of experience with a clear, practical style. He explains what he’s checking and why as he works through your visit. Care may include Diversified adjustments, drop-table methods, and the Activator Methods® instrument, all used with the intention of improving how restricted areas move.
Active Release Technique® may be added when soft-tissue tension contributes to stiffness. Ergonomic coaching and simple posture ideas help you make everyday tasks feel easier at your desk and at home.
Seeking Care for this Condition
Many visitors reach out when they notice:
- Neck or shoulder tightness from long computer sessions
- Headaches that feel linked to neck tension
- Discomfort that seems to travel into the shoulder or arm
- Limited rotation while driving or checking blind spots
- General soreness after a bump, strain, or minor accident
- Jaw tension that seems connected to neck posture
If your symptoms followed a crash or more forceful incident, we can discuss whether an ICBC claim or additional evaluation is appropriate.
What to Expect
Your first visit is typically 30-40 minutes and includes assessment, discussion, and hands-on care. Follow-ups are usually 15-20 minutes with time for movement ideas or stretches you can try at home. You choose your pace—some people stop in for relief during a flare-up, while others return only when they don’t feel well. Direct billing is available for extended health plans, and we can help coordinate ICBC paperwork when needed. Parking, transit, and our ground-level location make getting here simple.
