Physical Therapy for neck pain can give you lasting relief without drugs or surgery.
The Most Common Neck Pain Causes: Strains and Sprains
The most common causes of neck pain and neck stiffness—strains and sprains—can heal within a few days or weeks. A strain means a muscle or tendon has been irritated by overuse or overextension. Similarly, a sprain means a ligament has been irritated by overextension or overuse.
Our hands-on approach to your neck physical therapy means that you will get better and find relief faster. We will find the causes of your injury so that the physical therapy exercises we give you will have results. During your treatment, we will work directly on your neck to strengthen and mobilize it. Neck Pain Therapy works when the right causes are identified.
Possible causes of your neck pain:
- Sleeping in the wrong position causes neck discomfort. As a result, you might wake up with neck pain due to sleeping in an awkward or unusual position that overextended your neck. At your screening, we will show you how to sleep in a position that will not injure your neck.
- Sports injury. A person could move the neck suddenly and/or in an unusual way in a new sport. Or a player could have a collision or fall.
- Poor posture. Whether it’s at work, home, and/or commuting, poor posture can lead to neck problems. As a result, if a person’s head is often tilted forward for long periods of time, then the neck’s muscles, tendons, and ligaments work harder. Poor posture can be problematic during any number of activities. This includes working at a computer, watching TV, riding the train, reading a book, gardening, and more. Text neck, for example, develops in anyone who spends hours looking down at the phone while texting.
Other Causes:
- Repetitive motions. Turning the head in a repetitive manner, such as side to side while dancing or swimming, may lead to overuse of the neck’s muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
- Holding the head in unusual position. Anything that requires holding the head in an unusual way for long periods of time could cause neck strains and sprains. Some examples include having a long conversation while cradling a phone between the head and shoulder; or working at the computer with your chin tilted up and your back arched.
- Whiplash injury means the head and neck are forced suddenly backward and immediately forward with a great deal of force. The soft tissues along and near the cervical spine can be torn or ruptured as a result. This type of injury commonly occurs in an auto accident that involves a rear-end collision.
