Puppy's and adult dogs can suffer from neck problems. Puppy's can be born with a tortocollis like issue which is a subluxation in the cervical spine and strained neck muscles. Chiropractic adjustments to the cervical region alomg with myofascial release techniques will help. It is important for the owner to do some rehab exercises that i always give as well.
Adult dogs can have this problem as a result of play or jumping. The trauma to the shoulder can cause tension in the neck resulting in the same issue. Your dog may not lift the head or wimper when drinking or eating. They may not even walk well or carry the head " Fuuny ". Chiropractic adjustments and therapy like in puppy's will help the problem.
Your vet will usually pres meds for pain which may be helpful w the symptoms but not correct the problem.
