Neck pain can arise from a variety of causes, including poor posture, injury, or underlying health conditions. At Within Normal Limits Physical Therapy, we provide tailored treatment strategies to relieve discomfort, restore function, and help you return to your everyday routine with confidence and ease.

Common Causes of Neck Pain

Neck pain can develop gradually or suddenly and may stem from various sources such as:

  • Poor Posture: Prolonged slouching at a desk, looking down at phones, or improper sleeping positions can strain neck muscles.
  • Injuries: Accidents, falls, or sports-related impacts may cause acute or chronic neck pain.
  • Degenerative Conditions: Arthritis, herniated discs, or spinal stenosis can contribute to persistent neck discomfort.
  • Stress and Tension: Emotional stress often leads to muscle tightness in the neck and shoulders.
  • Repetitive Movements: Jobs or activities that involve repetitive neck motion can lead to overuse injuries.

Our Treatment Approach

We design each neck pain treatment plan to meet your unique needs and goals through:

  • Comprehensive Evaluation: An in-depth assessment to determine the root cause of your pain.
  • Manual Therapy: Targeted hands-on techniques to alleviate muscle stiffness and promote healing.
  • Therapeutic Exercises: Customized exercises to improve strength, flexibility, and posture.
  • Ergonomic and Posture Training: Education on proper body mechanics to prevent future strain.
  • Ongoing Monitoring: Regular follow-ups to ensure progress and adapt your treatment accordingly.
