Yes I've got the bad creaky neck and tight trapazoids. I've got bone spurs on my cervicals , and bad TMJ and multiple myofacial trigger points in my back. Every month or so I would wake up and wouldn't be able to move my neck, had intense pain. I would open the frig door and pop something in my neck. Nursing the babies would bring on intense neck pain as well as hoisting those blasted baby car seats around town. Been a problem for ten years now.

I had Dr. Shankland manually reset my condyles in my jaw when it was locked shut the beginning of this year and I have not had any problems with things getting out of place in my neck anymore. I still have the creaky neck and pain in my cervicals and blasts of pain in my occipital nerve that's shoots into my head anytime someone touches me in the "forbidden" C4 C5 area.

I had all my amalgams out the beginning of April this year and I don't notice any difference in my neck.
I was checked for cavitats by Dr. Shankland it was a negative, Praise God! and he made my back and neck situation a whole lot better my aligning my jaw.

I also found a wonderful osteopathic cranial Dr. in central NY which makes me feel great, (been only once though) I had only short term success with chiros, and cranialsacral therapists, and trigger pt. release, and NST, Bowen therapy.

HTH, just my experience with neck prollems, ( had to throw a "Elvis" in there;)

Take care all.
