Why Do My Back & Neck Hurt?
W
hen it comes to back or neck pain, the vast majority is caused by underlying mobility dysfunction (aka
mechanical pain) of the spine. This is often due to poor postural habits, faulty movement patterns, misalignment, lack of joint or tissue mobility, and weak spinal muscles. It’s important to know that pain is a symptom, not the source of the problem. Getting to the root of the problem is essential to finding lasting relief! Too often, people turn to over-the-counter medications or see their doctor for prescription medications to address the symptoms without identifying the root of the problem. Sadly, they never get the results they are hoping for. Physical therapists are movement experts and highly trained at identifying the root causes of back or neck pain and, more importantly, helping you find solutions for lasting relief!
