alignment with your neck? This is a sign of underlying joint or muscle problems. WhereRadiatingHeadaches Come From Different problems with the neck cause pain to be felt in different areas.

Study Proves Results from Physical Therapy Physical Therapy Gets To The Root Of Your Neck Pain At Innovative Physical Therapy Solutions We Are Experts in The Way Your Body Works
Finding the Root of the Problem To narrow the source of the problem, it is important to find out if your pain worsens towards the end of the day or is first thing in the morning. Pain at the end of the day and a complaint of a “heavy head” feeling is an indicator of spinal muscle weakness and instability. The neck and shoulder muscles just can’t tolerate the weight of the head (about the weight of a bowling ball) with daily activities, tiring quickly and causing pain towards the end of the day. Neck pain in the morning that radiates to the shoulders or down the arms can be associated with the disc problems between your neck bones (vertebrae). Therefore, what is the best course of action? The best solution if you have neck pain or headaches is to see our physical therapists. Our physical therapists are experts at medically evaluating your neck joints and muscles. Not only will we pinpoint the area of trouble, we help you return the normal movement of your neck joints and muscles gently and safely, relieving your pain.

Helpful Tips
Keep That Resolution To Get Fit This Year! Going to the gym is not the only option in becoming more active. Activity can include many varieties of physically demanding hobbies or interests such as weightlifting, swimming, walking, playing basketball, gardening, or exercising at home. You should see an orthopedic physician before commencing any vigorous activity, if you have a history of activity related injuries. Here are some tips to help you embrace your new years resolutions to stay fit: • Join a race by supporting a good cause. Whether it’s a 5K, 10K, or 15K, supporting a good cause will not only raise money for charity, but it will also get you closer to your weight loss goals. • Make time for activity every day. It is often easier to make it a habit to exercise in the morning, so that you don’t have to worry about it later in the day. • Stay Hydrated. Keeping your body hydrated will reduce muscle fatigue, dizziness and headaches. • Bring a healthier dish to parties. Whether it’s a potluck at work or a friends BBQ, there are many recipes available online to help you make tasty healthy dishes. • Don’t skip breakfast. Eating breakfast not only keeps you more energized but it also helps improve mental performance.
