STRETCH FOR NECK PAIN RELIEF
Neck pain and headaches typically come from poor posture and tight muscles in the neck, shoulders and upper back. This produces what is called a forward head posture. By stretching the tight muscles along the back of your neck, as well as strengthening the muscles at the front of the neck, neck pain can be relieved. Correcting bad posture can be as simple as strengthening the abdominal region. However, keep in mind that when dealing with a forward-head posture, you will also have forward-rounded shoulders and increased curvature of the upper spine. Our physical therapists are experts in posture evaluation and treatment, helping you even if you have quite severe changes. It’s never too late! Tight muscles are a big factor in most neck pain and headaches. Stretching the muscles of your chest and strengthening the muscles of the middle back helps. For long term benefits, learning the right exercises can make a big difference in preventing neck pain and headaches from returning. Therefore, before you start taking any headache medicine for chronic neck pain, you might want to analyze your body posture first. Finding tension in your neck or limited range of motion in your spine might be the cause. Correcting it through physical therapy might be a simple solution for your headaches and neck pains. Call us today to learn more about our SPINE Program to relieve your headache and neck pain!

“My first experience with Eastern Shore Physical Therapy PT was talking with Martin through Facebook. I was always impressed how helpful and responsive Martin was, he told me about the Lower Back/Sciatica Workshop so I decided to take a chance...despite my hesitation. My first thoughts were “why bother” due to failed therapy and no progress in the past. As a result of the Workshop, I decided to move forward with therapy and on April 12th. I realized immediately that thiswasacompletelydifferentexperience fromanyotherPTencounter.The treatment was significantly helping my pain, and the staff was so professional and patient with me. Martin introduced me to the laser treatment and I’ve been watching my pain disappear. Overall, this experience has changed my life for the better, and it is all thanks to Eastern Shore PTand their staff.” - Deborah C. This experience has changed my life!
