Stress-induced neck pain is fairly common. The effects of stress on the body include the release of stress hormones, including adrenaline and cortisol, that when elevated for long durations, are associated with increased pain sensitivity.

How We Can Help Your Neck Pain Neck pain can be alleviated with physical therapy. Neck pain is often caused by poor postural habits or sustained positions. Relief of this pain typically occurs immediately following the correction of the abnormal postures. An easy way to find good posture is to imagine your breast bone is lifted towards the sky. This will naturally cause your spine to straighten out – lifting you. This helps alleviate the tension immediately and is something you can do multiple times a day! Physical therapists can target your pain’s source by examining your symptoms. Then, they can offer exercises that stretch and/or relax your neck muscles. For example, sit in a chair with your back resting against the back of the chair and simply lean your chest and shoulder back (i.e. over the top of the backrest). Keep your eyes forward and lean straight back. This is called a neck retraction and is very effective at alleviating tension! A custom-tailored program of neck exercises will assure your neck stays loose, limber, and healthy. Your physical therapist can also teach you how to arrange your working environment ergonomically and recommend various stress reduction strategies to ensure healthy life behavior.
