Physical Therapy for
Neck Pain & Injuries
Neck pain is one of the most common spine related issues, affecting people of all ages. It can be caused by poor posture, looking down at screens for long periods, sudden injuries such as whiplash, or age related changes in the cervical spine. In some case, it may even lead to radiating pain, numbness or weakness in the shoulders, arms, or hands
Common Types of Neck Pain & Injury
Neck Pain & Injuries can vary widely, but some of the most common include:
Muscle strain from poor posture, long hours at a desk, or looking down at a phone can cause stiffness, headaches, and limited movement.
Whiplash happens when the neck is suddenly forced forward and back, often after a car accident or sports injury. Symptoms may include pain, stiffness, and dizziness.
A herniated cervical disc can press on nerves, leading to neck pain, numbness, or tingling in the arms and hands.
Age-related changes in the cervical spine can cause stiffness, grinding sensations, or chronic neck pain.
When a nerve in the neck is compressed, it may cause sharp pain, weakness, or tingling that travels into the arms or hands.
Narrowing of the spinal canal in the neck can put pressure on nerves, leading to balance problems, weakness, or chronic pain.
Inflammation of the facet joints between vertebrae may cause sharp, localized neck pain, especially with movement.
Trigger points and tight muscle knots in the neck can create radiating pain to the head, shoulders, or upper back.
Forward head posture and slouching strain the cervical spine, leading to chronic neck pain and tension.
Neck fractures, sprains, or dislocations caused by falls, accidents, or sports require guided rehabilitation for safe recovery.
