Are you ready to stop living in pain? Create a treatment plan with your physical therapist to target the source behind your pain—so you can restore full function and live pain-free again.
Physical therapy focuses on improving the mobility, strength, and flexibility of the neck, upper back, and shoulder as these regions work very closely together. Your therapist will teach you how to proactively care for your neck through posture modifications, strengthening exercises, and mobilizations for your neck and upper back. With hands-on therapy and empowering education, you can move confidently.
Top causes of neck pain include:
- A lot of neck pain is related to muscle issues, like muscle strains and weakness. This can develop from poor posture over time or from repetitive tasks.
- Another cause of neck pain is structural, such as cervical spondylolysis, cervical radiculopathy, and arthritis. With these conditions, the space for nerves in the neck narrows, causing pain and stiffness.
- In addition, trauma, such as a car accident or a fall can cause neck pain. Whiplash and neck stiffness from trauma cause muscles to tighten up, causing pain with movement.
