Myofascial Release for Neck Pain

Tightness of the suboccipital muscles at the back of the skull is often experienced by patients with chronic neck pain. A study that included 58 chronic neck pain patients found that myofascial release therapy, a form of treatment provided by doctors of chiropractic, applied to the suboccipital muscles is effective for reducing neck pain intensity and improving cervical mobility.
