Neck Pain Physical Therapy

Neck pain is one of the most common reasons people seek physical therapy. Whether it’s from a disc issue, muscle strain, postural dysfunction, whiplash, or degenerative changes, we evaluate the root cause and build a treatment plan that addresses it.

What We Treat

  • Mechanical neck pain and cervical strain
  • Cervical radiculopathy (nerve-related arm pain, numbness, tingling)
  • Cervical disc herniation
  • Cervicogenic headaches
  • Whiplash and motor vehicle accident injuries
  • Postural dysfunction and “tech neck”
  • Cervical stenosis
  • Post-surgical cervical spine rehabilitation

Treatment

  • Manual therapy — cervical and thoracic joint mobilization, soft tissue mobilization, and muscle energy techniques
  • Dry needling — upper trapezius, levator scapulae, cervical multifidi, suboccipitals
  • Strengthening — deep cervical flexor training, scapular stabilization, and postural correction
  • Neural mobilization — for radiculopathy and nerve-related symptoms
  • Ergonomic guidance — workstation setup, sleeping position, and daily habit modification
