Seeing a chiropractor can help you relieve chronic neck pain. Chiropractors focus on making sure your spine is aligned correctly and that the many nerves in your neck are working as they should.
A misalignment (or subluxation) is when one or more of the bones in your neck becomes displaced, which can put pressure on the brachial plexus and cause pain. To get relief from this neck pain, it’s important to work with a Chiropractor in getting the misalignment corrected, relieving the tension, and letting your neck heal properly.
What Causes Neck Pain?
Neck pain can come from a number of different sources. In many cases, it’s the result of a problem with your spine that may have been there for some time without you realizing it.
The longer neck pain goes untreated, the more likely it becomes that you’ll begin to experience a combination of muscle spasms and stiffness. Neck pain can also lead to headaches and difficulty sleeping at night. If this sounds like something you suffer from on a regular basis, chiropractic treatment could help speed up your recovery so you can feel better in no time.
Symptoms of a misaligned or subluxated vertebra may include:
Neck pain that gets worse when you turn your head or look up or down
Stiffness in your neck
Tingling, numbness, burning, or weakness in one arm (usually but not always on the same side as the problem)
Headaches
Our chiropractic team in Simpsonville will do an examination to find out where your spine is causing problems and causing neck pain. Then we’ll work with you on treatment options to get you on the path to recovery.
Stretches to Help with Chronic Neck Pain
At home, you can try to alleviate some neck pain issues by doing stretches on a regular basis. Here are some good stretches for your neck that can help with discomfort.
Neck Flexion Stretch
Neck Extension Stretch
Chin Tuck Stretch
Scalene Stretch
Upper TrapStretch
Sternocleidomastoid stretch
Pectoralis Minor stretch
Doing your own stretches does not necessarily fix the underlying problem. It’s still recommended to see our Chiropractic team in Simpsonville to take care of the underlying cause of your neck pain, make sure your spine is aligned properly, and promote proper healing of your neck.
Chiropractic Treatment for Neck Pain in Simpsonville
If you’re experiencing neck pain, you need to see our chiropractors for an exam. We’ll work with you on developing a treatment plan that includes stretching, strengthening exercises, and specific chiropractic adjustments to fix the problem. This will restore your spine to its proper alignment so you can feel better now and in the future.
Chiropractic care is different than other types of medical treatments because it focuses on restoring normal function to your body through your spine instead of masking or suppressing symptoms with medication. Our chiropractor will make sure nothing is causing the misalignment (such as arthritis), prescribe stretches and exercises like those above, and help get things back in working order.
I have had many different experiences with chiropractors over the years, but never won so thorough and precise As with Dr. Perkinson. The way he takes time to fully understand You and your needs is rare.
I am very grateful that I found Dr. Perkinson! My low back problems have substantially improved since I became a patient of Carolina Life Chiropractic. Dr. Perkinson is very personable and is always inquiring about how I'm doing, listening to my responses, and adapting my treatment plan accordingly.
Dr. Perkinson is excellent at listening, finding, and fixing the subluxations that I have. I recommend friends to go see him even with a drive like I have from Anderson to Simpsonville/Greenville. I have had times where my neck or lower back needs correction and he works out what is there without overworking on my body during each chiropractic session. He makes sure that I know what he is doing and why he is doing certain manipulations. He encourages a healthy lifestyle to aid in the healing process and encourages me to exercise, eat healthy, and drink water after the adjustments. He is very knowledgeable about the spine and is willing to learn more on his own time about the issues I deal with on a daily basis. He encourages me to come to see him as often as I am able, realizing that I may not be able to make it to his practice as often as I need due to my physical limitations and demands. I appreciate him for being a great person and doctor of chiropractic who devotes his time and attention to me exclusively during my sessions.
I can certainly understand why Dr. Bernardo has five stars. It starts with a thorough assessment where he takes the time to discuss your personal concerns and goals. He then performs a comprehensive, hands-on evaluation to identify specific focus areas. Following that, he takes targeted x-rays to confirm his findings. Once the results are ready, he walks you through everything in detail. His diagnosis was spot on, and he provided the comprehensive treatment plan I needed. Having had assessments elsewhere, I found Dr. Bernardo’s approach to be the most effective, intensive, and probative. He rocks!
My back injury was stopping me from day to day normal. I'd been in PT and under Orthopedic care for months with little to no relief. I kept asking for a chiropractor because my body just felt malaligned! Finally I'm referred to Carolina Life. At 15 sessions Dr. Bernardo Perkinson has seriously changed my quality of life!<br><br>He took imagery, gave an assessment and plan. All of the painful places I explained to others in vain, he could TOUCH the inflammation with his hand. The adjustments and red light therapy have me feeling the best I have in years.<br><br>Chiropractors should be a part of routine body maintenance. I know I will definitely continue rotating even beyond my treatment plan. Dr. Perkinson's a consummate professional, kind and knowledgeable in his field. Glad I was referred and I tell everyone!!!
Since receiving treatments my lower back pain has improved from a 9 down to a 1 and my radiating leg pain has totally gone away! I recommend Dr Bernardo Perkinson’s care for anyone that wants to improve their mobility and decrease their chronic pain.
I have been to a handful of chiropractors in my 21 years as a patient of chiropractic. He is worth every penny including the up to 1.5 hour drive time. His Gonstead method is unique, different, and effective. I came to Dr. Perkins and he was actually able to fix my knee so I could walk better on it. He makes sure he understands your spine fully with x-rays. His plans are very fair. He gave me an ice pack after my first adjustment. After my adjustment my body started feeling improvments and continuing to be better. He focuses on the details of the spine which is very unique. He listens and takes time with his patients. He also works on the joints outside of the spine, in addition to my knees he has helped the TMJ in jaw and my hips. I have continued to see him as a patient. He is always friendly, welcoming, and professional! His office is warm, inviting, organized and clean. He takes time care, and attention when you are his patient. He has contined to help me in ways that are particular to my needs. His adjustments help me feel better and live better and do what I want to do in life day in and day out!! His unique methods and continuing desire to learn has helped me cognitively by reducing pain in my body. It has helped me with the tingling, sensory sensitivity, headaches, and tenderness to touch. Issues I had after my TBI and spine injury. He helped me<br>make more progress than conventional doctors did . He helps keep me working at my job with manual labor. he was anle in my case improve the curve to a significant degree for my indiviual case. He adjusted the top of my neck and helped the numbness I feel when sleeping at night in my arm. I look forward to all the care he will continue to<br>provide to keep me whole and functioning well into my future. He doesn’t just try to sell you to keep you in appointments for the money either. He makes a plan and appointment schedule based on your needs and the demands of what tolls life puts on your body.
Dr. Bernardo is absolutely amazing. He truly cares for the wellbeing of his patients. My mom went to him first and then I did. I’ve noticed a big change in my health just by coming in. I highly recommend his services.
I have been seeing Dr. Perkinson for just over a month now and the results have been incredible. I've been dealing with nagging shoulder and knee pain for months. Dr. Perkinson diagnosed a number of alignment issues and his adjustments and suggested exercises have greatly reduced the pain and allowed me to get back to the exercises I previously could not perform. Thanks Dr. Perkinson!
Two months of being under Dr. Parkinson’s care have given me more understanding of the pain I’ve been experiencing for over two years than anything else. He stands apart from most chiropractic professionals for the attentiveness he shows his patients, and especially for how willing he is to answer questions and explain the process of recovery. Many thanks to Dr. Perkinson and his staff!
Wonderful care given to each patient here. My hip pain that made walking uncomfortable has completely disappeared, and several degenerative areas in my neck and lower back that caused pain are now so much better, thanks to regular adjustments with Dr. Perkinson. His use of the Gonstead System of chiropractic care is unique to the many other chiropractors my family has seen over the years, and I feel it has resulted in getting improvements where others had not. I most highly recommend him to everyone!
Dr. Bernardo is great. He takes great care in understanding your concerns and works closely with helping you get better. He is also great about explaining things along the way as well. Highly recommend
On multiple occasions. Carolina Life Chiropractic has helped get my spine back in alignment for me to carry on with work and every day tasks as normal.
Dr. Perkinson is great! He does a really good job of explaining the process and also of walking you through the steps and reasons for everything he is going to do to adjust you. I would definitely recommend! He is also bilingual, which is great!
From the moment I walked into Dr. Perkinson’s office, I felt welcomed and truly heard. His approach to chiropractic care is not only skillful but also deeply personalized—he takes the time to understand individual concerns and crafts a treatment plan that provides real relief.<br><br>Since my first appointment February 2025, I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my leg numbness, low lumbar pain, and persistent shoulder discomfort. In just four months, I’ve experienced real progress, making a noticeable difference in my daily comfort and mobility, allowing me to move more freely and with less discomfort.
Dr. Perkinson is phenomenal!! The clinic is clean and inviting! Definitely recommend visiting this location if looking for the best chiropractor in town!
Dr. Perkinson has been phenomenal in adjusting what my back and neck need. With his advanced x-rays that show him exactly what needs to be fixed, he is able to really see and perform well. I would definitely recommend him to everyone in the upstate!
I can't say enough about Dr. Perkinson. He has taken the time to really listen to me and understand what I need. I have Fibromyalgia, SI Joint Dysfunction and Chronic Pain. He has reduced my flare ups and has helped with my quality of life so much. If you are in need of someone who is passionate about their patients and treating you with respect, along with a sincere drive to make you better, he is the one for you.
Over the past 5 months Dr. Perkinson has been working with me to get back to basic function, mobility and wellness. His approach is tailored to each individual client and beneficial to a wide range of conditions. I am pleased to say that, in conjunction with assisted stretching at StretchMed, I have seen improvements in all of these areas and would highly recommend him for anyone considering trying out chiropractic care.
Dr. Bernado is extremely knowledgeable about chiropractic work and holistic health. This is who I would reccomend to anyone if they need groundbreaking adjustments to their spine and overall health.
I can not say enough amazing things about Dr. Bernardo. He is very kind, respectful, and thorough. After trying a couple of chiropractors in the area and feeling like I was just another paying customer I am so thankful to find Dr. Bernardo. In just a few short weeks he has greatly helped my many areas of concern. He listens to all my concerns and answers everything in great detail and with examples or visual models. He never rushes our appointments.
I have never had chiropractic care before. I was nervous about the whole idea. Dr. Perkinson was understanding of this and walked me through each step. I travel 45 minutes just to see him since he opened his practice! He has completely eliminated my hip and back pain I’ve been suffering from for years. Highly suggest coming to him for your adjustments!
I was so skeptical about coming to a Chiropractor, I was in a lot of knee pain and walking with a cane, I had been to 2 different orthopedic doctors and no results. Dr. Perkinson explained my treatment and I felt comfortable, the amount of progress is amazing, the pain, and swelling of the knee has change dramatically also I’m walking with out a cane. I’m so happy with my results.
From walking in side ways to upright and feeling great physically I can only rave about how beneficial it’s been going to this Carolina Life chiropractic.So far been a nice experience and really helpful.
After years of constant back, shoulder, and hip pain - I am pain free! I visited other chiropractors with no results. None of them even offered an x-ray to see what was really going on. Dr. Perkinson has been a game changer for me and I couldn't be happier!
Dr. Bernardo is an excellent chiropractor. He is thorough and takes the time to make sure things are right. Before I saw him I had a lot of lower back pain and now I'm able to run and exercise pain free.
Dr. Bernardo is one of the best chiropractors I have seen. I appreciate that he takes time with you and is so gentle in his adjustments. I appreciate that he uses X-rays to target specific problem areas. I am willing to drive 40 mins from Anderson because it has really helped manage my issues in my back and neck.
I had an amazing experience with this chiropractor practice. The doctor is incredibly professional and talented, taking a personalized approach to every patient. He is truly dedicated to addressing the root cause of the issue and helping you feel better. Since I started going there, my mobility has improved significantly, and the relief I’ve experienced has been remarkable!
✨ Through what can only be described as divine intervention, I discovered Carolina Life Chiropractor, and it has completely transformed my life! I drove by the clinic twice without realizing it, but something kept drawing me back. It wasn’t until I was watching YouTube videos of doctors using the Gonstead method that I realized Carolina Life Chiropractor specializes in the same advanced technique!<br><br>From my very first visit, I knew I was in the hands of an expert. The Gonstead method is nothing short of miraculous, and my progress has been rapid and undeniable. I’ve struggled with pain for years, and nothing else had worked. But under the care of this incredible doctor, I’m finally seeing results I never thought were possible. I’ve even managed to have my family added as patients!!!<br><br>If you’re looking for a chiropractor who is not only skilled but truly passionate about your health and well-being, look no further! Carolina Life Chiropractor is a true blessing, and I can’t recommend them enough!
Because of a severe head/neck pain I decided to try for the first time . I can tell Dr Bernardo has a passion for what he does , very patient and explain everything !! I can’t stand the “cracking sound” so he is adjusting me accordingly. Yay !<br>I also decided to take my 8 year old son and we can see the difference already in less than a month ! I totally recommend !
Dr. Bernardo's knowledge of chiropractic has no limits. Each patient he works with he gives 110% of his attention to and each session is individualized to the care that's actually needed. I haven't seen a chiropractor put so much effort into trying to find the root cause of the issue such as Dr. Bernardo. He sits with you, explains the entire situation, the ins and outs of the methods, and shows his passion for the job on top of the skill to back it up. Being someone who has done chiropractic her whole life, I can confidently say that Dr. Bernardo is the most caring when it comes to patient health. That is his first and foremost goal: to enhance your health through chiropractic. None take it ask seriously as he does and I am forever grateful for his skill, expertise, and diligence in finding the root cause and eradicating it. To surmise, he's just the best! :D
I’ve been going to Carolina Life Chiropractic with Dr. Perkinson for a couple of weeks now. On my first visit he did a very thorough evaluation and X-ray of my back/spine and reviewed with me. It is obvious that my back is a mess and it doesn’t help matters that my right leg is a little shorter than my left causing my hips to be out of balance too.<br><br>Dr. Perkinson immediately came up with a care plan within 48 hours to review with me at my very next visit. We reviewed the care plan together along with incorporating my goals to improve my health and quality of life over time.<br><br>What has impressed me the most about Dr. Perkinson is he takes the time at each visit to review my X-rays, asks questions about my current pain/issues in my back and immediately proceeds to make adjustments to my spine to help me feel better and get well as soon as possible. I never feel rushed at any of my visits. He is very professional, friendly and highly knowledgeable in the field of Chiropractic. Dr. Perkinson is in the process of building his practice in the Five-Forks area of Simpsonville and I highly recommend him.
I have been adjusted by Dr. Bernardo since March 2023. His Chiropractic Technique is gentle and effective. I was having numbness in my right forearm and after multiple visits with Dr. Bernardo the feeling began to come back. I highly recommend Dr. Bernardo to anyone who is in need of Chiropractic care.
I’ve been seeing Dr Perkins for several months. He is extremely knowledgable and has helped me by adjusting my shoulders that I had been having problems with due ti a prior injury. This has been a reoccuring injury over the last year and a half. He is one of the very few chiropractors that adjust joints. He has also treated my knees to help keep them in alignment. Dr. Perkins is very professional and kind. I highly recommend him for any and all chiropractic needs!.
Dr. Perkinson is top-notch! He takes the time to assess things thoroughly, listens to your concerns, and displays impressive knowledge, care, and treatment to his patients. I have seen several chiropractors and wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Perkinson to anyone seeking chiropractic care.
