HOW PHYSICAL THERAPY CAN HELP YOU RELIEVE YOUR NECK PAIN
Our physical therapists are movement experts equipped to identify and treat the primary source of your neck pain. They will analyze your posture, movement, and problem areas to determine the best course of treatment for your needs. Our treatment plans focus on relieving your pain, in addition to improving your posture, mobility, strength, and coordination. Your diagnosis will determine the make-up of your program and may include any combination of manual therapy, targeted stretches, exercises, activity modification, or posture recommendations. Physical therapy can help significantly reduce your neck pain by implementing the following: • Maintaining proper posture when sitting and standing. • Restoring flexibility to your neck muscles and joints. • Strengthening your mid-back muscles and shoulders to provide support to your neck. • Improving the coordination of your neck muscles. Your therapy may also include additional methods deemed fit by your physical therapists, such as ice and heat therapies, ultrasound, or electrical stimulation.

“I had no flexibility, could barely turn my head, and was in severe pain. After six visits, my neck and shoulders are almost pain-free due to my PT’s deep tissue massages and traction, as well as his prescribed exercises. The therapists were outstanding and I am pain-free. They use the right amount of pressure and target the problem areas. The exercises really helped.” - S.C.
