Discover The Premier Approach To Fixing Neck Pain!
What Is Neck Pain?
Neck pain is a very common condition that we encounter daily at Premier Physical Therapy. It can result from various causes, including muscle strain, poor posture, stress, injury, or underlying medical conditions like arthritis or disc issues. The pain often arises due to the interconnectedness of the muscles, nerves, and joints in these regions, making it easy for tension or injury in one area to affect the other. Neck pain can range from mild and temporary to severe and chronic, which will not go away on its own and requires specialist intervention from a physical therapist.
What Are The Symptoms?
Neck pain can present itself as a dull ache, or sharp stabbing sensations in the affected areas. These symptoms can radiate down the arms or up into the head, sometimes leading to headaches. Individuals may experience a reduced range of motion, making it difficult to turn their head or lift objects. This pain can also be accompanied by muscle spasms, tingling, or numbness in the arms and hands. The severity of these symptoms often varies throughout the day, worsening with certain activities, such as prolonged sitting, computer work, or carrying bags of groceries.
If you’re suffering from neck pain, you might find it difficult to sleep, turn your head, or even drive. The pain can make it hard to stand, walk, or sit for extended periods, and sometimes it may even radiate down into your arms. The pain might be constant, or it could come and go with varying intensity.

Discover The Premier Approach To Fixing Neck Pain...
You may have already tried several remedies, such as visiting a doctor who advised you to take pain medications, using ice packs, receiving cortisone shots, or even considered surgery if other treatments haven’t worked.
At our clinic, we offer a natural approach to healing and pain relief. We use hands-on techniques and specific modalities to help reduce pain, decrease inflammation, restore your range of motion, and strengthen muscles weakened by pain or lack of use. Whether your muscles have become atrophied, or you’ve become deconditioned due to inactivity, this pain can significantly affect your ability to do the things you love, like gardening, painting, or playing with your children or grandchildren.
When addressing neck pain, the approach focuses on identifying the root cause of the issues. Often, the underlying problem may not be located directly in the neck but could involve the upper back. Initial treatments might provide significant relief without addressing other areas directly.
The process typically involves regaining neck range of motion and then working on strength and functional retraining to perform daily activities or sports-related activities. For overhead athletes, specific attention is given to improving strength, mobility, speed, and power, with a gradual return to their sport. For those who have been struggling with long-term neck pain without finding effective relief, reaching out for further help is encouraged. Contacting us for a phone consultation or scheduling a discovery visit could be the next step toward finding the appropriate treatment and relief.
