Where Does Neck Pain Come From?

Neck pain can come from a variety of sources, including poor posture from using personal
electronic devices (smartphones). With so many hours of looking down at our devices, overtime,
it can exert strain on the muscles that elevate the head. This strain outweighs the capacity of
these muscles and leads to pain and potentially headaches. Your skilled physical therapist can
give you individualized exercises to help increase the capacity of these muscles. In addition, they can offer tips and suggestions to help your posture, and formulate an individualized treatment plan. Make an

How Can Physical Therapy Help Your Neck Pain?

First, our skilled clinicians will ask you questions about your symptoms and goals.
We’ll review any materials sent by your doctor (MD notes, X-rays, MRIs etc.,) and incorporate
them into your care. Secondly, they will look at how you move, your strength, your
range of motion, and numerous other factors to formulate a shared plan of care. Lastly, treatment may
consist of soft tissue massage, education , myofascial release, strengthening exercises,
stretching exercises, and electrical stimulation.

What Conditions Cause Neck Pain?

Neck pain can vary in symptoms from constant, dull, achy pain to sharp stabbing pains that
