Find Neck Pain Relief with Physical Therapy

Do you find it difficult to sit up straight in your desk chair, tilt your head down to tie your shoes, or even lay your head down on your pillow at night to go to sleep? The neck is an integral part of everyday movements. Let’s get down to the bottom of how to find neck pain relief so you can feel better! Don’t let neck pain limit you from doing the things you normally do with ease in your daily life.

If you are experiencing neck pain, you are not alone. In fact, according to the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), approximately one-third of the population experiences neck pain every year. If left untreated, neck pain can lead to some serious conditions, and surgical correction may even be needed. Fortunately, physical therapy can help treat your pain before it gets to that point.

We’ll evaluate your condition and relieve your pain, so you can get back to comfortably living your daily life!

What’s causing my pain?

Neck pain is commonly felt from the base of the skull to the top of the shoulder blades, settling in the back of the neck. Neck pain can vary from dull, constant aches, to sharp and stabbing pains. Additional symptoms that can accompany neck pain include:

  • Discomfort and pain when remaining in the same position for too long
  • Muscle stiffness and tightness in the upper body
  • Headaches
  • Arm weakness
  • Numbness or tingling
  • Inability to fully stand up or sit up straight
  • Loss of sleep due to pain and discomfort

There are several conditions that may lead to neck pain. Damage to the tissues or bone structures in the neck is the leading cause of neck pain. This damage can occur from a sudden injury or develop over time from repetitive overuse. Certain degenerative diseases may also lead to neck pain.

Some of the most common causes of neck pain include:

Muscle strains

Overuse can cause the muscles in the back of your neck to become strained. Even something as simple as sitting at your desk all day with your neck craned toward the computer screen can lead to a strain in your neck muscles.

Injuries

Whiplash is one of the most common injuries resulting in neck pain. It is called a “strain” injury, due to the rapid back-and-forth motion that the neck experiences. Whiplash occurs in car accidents, rollercoasters, or high-impact sports collisions, and it affects the soft tissues in the back of the neck.

Illnesses

Certain diseases and ailments can result in neck pain. Here are some of the illnesses that link to neck pain: rheumatoid arthritis, meningitis, and even cancer.

Nerve compression

If you have a herniated disc in your neck, the nerves that branch out from your spinal cord can become compressed. In some cases, nerve pain can even result in “radiculopathy,” which is a condition where pain extends from the neck all the way down to the hands and fingers.

Joint degeneration

Any joint in your body is susceptible to age-related erosion, and your neck is no exception. Conditions such as osteoarthritis, reduce the cartilage between the vertebrae in the neck, resulting in moderate to severe pain.
