Head and neck pain is not the type of pain that you can push through and deal with for too long. For one thing, chronic pain in the head or neck is often associated with some sort of chronic health concern — one that you need to deal with, not ignore. Secondly, when you are dealing with constant pain in your head or neck, it becomes difficult toconcentrate.Thiscanhaveanegative effect on your personal relationships, your career and more. The most common cause of neck or head pain is a muscle 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 thatarepotentiallyharmful to your health and not likely to work as well over time. Unlike pain medications thatbecome lesshelpful the longer they areused,physicaltherapyprovides long- term relief from pain by correcting the joint or muscle concern with targeted therapies like flexibility exercises, muscle strengthening techniques, and guided stretches that target core joints and muscles. Of course, not all neck or headpain is thesame,sounderstanding the basics of what you are dealing with is the first step to achieving relief.
