Neck pain can be both debilitating and terrifying. When you experience an injury that leaves your neck in severe pain, the thought of not being able to freely turn your head is overwhelmingly stressful. What’s more, the pain itself is unbearable, and since the neck is so sensitive to injury, it is important to be as careful as possible in finding treatment and solutions for the pain.

The Most Effective Relief For Neck Pain Stay A Neck Ahead of Chronic Pain
Neck pain can be both debilitating and terrifying. When you experience an injury that leaves your neck in severe pain, the thought of not being able to freely turn your head is overwhelmingly stressful. What’s more, the pain itself is unbearable, and since the neck is so sensitive to injury, it is important to be as careful as possible in finding treatment and solutions for the pain.

There are a lot of different ways that you can relieve neck pain, butthebesttreatmentforyourpersonalneedsdependsentirely on the type of injury that you’ve experienced. What’s Causing The Pain? Ifyourpain isdevelopinggraduallyovertimeand isnottheresult of any particular injury that comes to mind, then it may be a resultofdegenerativediscdisease.Whenthisdevelops,youmay

Physical therapy can help alleviate the pain from degenerative disc disease by helping restore blood circulation and improve range of motion in the neck. This therapy is approached in a careful and deliberate way so as to not cause further pain in the neck region. Sometimes, neck pain develops after a particular injury, such as due to athleticism or even as a result of a car accident or a slip and fall accident. When this happens, your pain could be a result of a muscle strain or sprain. When this is the case, then usingtraditionalmethods likehotandcoldtherapyandtargeted physical therapy treatment can do a lot of good to alleviate the pain. However, attempting exercises on your own could also result in further pain. In some cases, mechanical neck pain can develop as a result of a change in the neck joints. This may develop as a result of a disc collapsing, which causes the space between the bones to become narrow, often causing bones to strike one another, resulting in pain. When this isn’t addressed, mechanical neck pain can spread, causing the pain to become more severe and covering a wider range of the neck.

Patient Success Spotlight “Before coming to Johnson Physical Therapy I had pain in my neck, shoulder and arm. I was feeling weaker and had no strength. I was getting frustrated with how I was feeling. Since coming to therapy and working with Serae, I no longer have daily pain and I am gaining strength. The exercises are really helpful and very specific to my needs. I would recommend Johnson PT to my family and friends!”
