LIFE DOESN’T HAVE TO BE A PAIN IN THE NECK
(continued from outside)
The most common cause of neck or head pain is amuscle or joint problem. Working with a physical therapist can help you to identify the cause of the trouble and begin taking steps to correct the issue, allowing you to find relief from the pain without having to commit to long-termpainmanagement —which often includes the use of pain medications that arepotentially harmful to your health and not likely to work as well over time.

There are a lot of reasons why radiating headaches could develop, including as a result of lack of movement and stiffness in the neck. This buildup of irritation can be treated with regular physical therapy, especially through the use of massage and flexibility exercises that target the muscles in the neck.
