Relief For Nagging Necks &Thumping Heads
However, few get the needed attention to address the root cause of the problem, trying to mask the symptoms with Advil or Tylenol. How Neck Problems Cause Headaches The neck is very complicated in its structure requiring good movement, posture, and support. Most of the rotating of your head comes from the upper part of the neck. Therefore, this is a very important part of your body. It is where the thickest part of the spinal cord goes through the spinal canal to the brain. It is also an important area that determines how your body balances. Main Causes of Neck Pain Neck pain can start for a number of reasons such as poor posture with sitting, car accidents, stress, injuries, or even falls. Since the neck is where blood vessels travel through to supply your head, muscle tightness can cause spasms of the arteries around the nerves of the neck and head. This can cause headaches or even trigger migraines. People with neck problems often experience pain, tingling, or numbness, into
the arms, hands, and even fingers. This happens, because the nerves exiting the spine in your neck, supply sensations to your arms and hands. If you find these types of symptoms occurring, it is important that you see one of our expert physical therapists at Fyzical Physical Therapy & Balance Centers. There is a lot that you can do to help your neck pain. The key is preventing the neck pain from starting in the first place. However, our daily lives don’t always dictate what is good for our neck and shoulders. In today’s society we sit a lot in slouched positions which is not good for the neck, upper back, and shoulders. Our jobs, driving in the car, picking up heavy objects, and repetitive straining can hurt the neck over a period of time. Have the spine experts at Fyzical Physical Therapy & Balance Centers examine your neck alignment, posture, movement, strength, and function to zero in on the root cause of your neck pain or headaches. Then, with precise treatment and expert education, we teach you how to prevent it from returning. Call us today to learn more how we can relieve your neck pain.

Common Problems Associated With Neck Pain
Whether you have upper, mid or lower neck pain, we can help. Neck pain can come from a number of disorders and diseases and can involve any of the tissues in the neck. Examples of common conditions causing neck pain are Degenerative Disc Disease, neck strain, neck injury such as in whiplash, a herniated disc, or a pinched nerve. Below are some of the commonly affected areas of you neck: UPPER NECK Pain or injury here is often responsible for headaches to the scalp and face. This area helps with overall body balance and the ability to rotate the neck.
MID NECK Pain or injury here is responsible for weakness and pain to the shoulders, arms, hands, and fingers.
LOWER NECK Pain or injury in this area often presents with limited motion and contributes to a forward head posture. As a result this increases strain on the neck causing muscle pain and tension.

Patient Success Spotlights
“I have had to go to Fyzical several times for different reasons over the years. All of my experiences have been good. Recently my doctors told me that I would need both hip and neck fusion surgery. I went to see Rogan at Fyzical and after a few visits, I am doing much better and don’t believe I will need surgery which makes me very happy. A couple of years ago, my doctor sent me to a different physical therapist. Although he was good, I preferred going to Rogan and so this time I told my doctor that I was going to go to Fyzical instead.” “I am doing much better and don’t believe I will need surgery...”
