Neck Painin Ocean Township and Sea Girt

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • A physical therapy visit lasts about 40-60 minutes. The actual contents of the visit vary based on your diagnosis/need, but typically what happens is:

    1. You check in with the receptionist, make any appointments necessary, and we discuss your health insurance benefits with you.
    2. You go into the clinic. You can change clothes if you need to, then begin therapy.
    3. You perform 6-8 various exercises and stretches. These can include therapeutic band exercises, light body weight exercises, or minimal weights. The stretches will promote strength, stability, improved range of motion, and pain relief.
    4. We can initiate other techniques to include manual work, taping, cupping, and dry needling as needed.
    5. The therapist makes recommendations based on your progress. These can include altering the frequency of visits, making additions/alterations to your home exercise plan, or things to do before your next visit.

  • We recommend budgeting 40-60 minutes for a typical therapy session. The only exception to this will be your first visit, which can take about 20 minutes longer due to the physical therapy evaluation your therapist will provide. We also recommend showing up about 10-15 minutes early to your first visit. This way, you can complete the paperwork before your visit time and streamline the process.

  • If we are asking you to do something that is hurting too much, let us know! Physical therapy should not be severely painful. It is not common to be so sore that patients are in pain or it affects their daily life. If this ever happens during or after an appointment, let us know and we will adapt your program.

  • During your initial evaluation, your therapist may ask you a number of questions to determine what the cause of your pain is. This can include questions about your sleep habits, activity level, and work environment. They will also ask for a medical history, and then typically ask direct questions about where and when you experience pain.
