The most common cause of neck or head pain is a muscle or joint problem. Workingwithaphysical therapistcanhelpyou to identify thecauseof the trouble and begin taking steps to correct the issue, allowing you to find relief from the
pain without having to commit to long-term pain management — which often includes the use of pain medications that are potentially harmful to your health and not likely to work as well over time. Unlike pain medications that become less helpful the longer they are used, physical therapy provides 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 head pain is the same, so understanding the basics of what you are dealing with is the first step to achieving relief.
