Physical therapy benefits neck pain treatment

At Back in Motion Physical Therapy, we value providing personalized care to each patient. Your neck pain treatment will be customized to meet your individual needs and recovery goals. This is achieved through a complete physical examination, as well as a review of your medical history and lifestyle.

Most sessions of neck pain treatment involve exercises and hands-on care to help improve the strength and flexibility in the areas of the neck that need it. It’s also common for your physical therapist to use hot and cold therapies, ultrasound, electrotherapy and deep tissue massage to treat your neck pain.

Your physical therapist will help you correct poor posture that may be adding to your pain. He or she may also advise you on proper lifting techniques and correct forms for other physical activities that might contribute to neck pain.

After your appointment, you will likely receive instructions for stretches and exercises to perform at home between appointments. These exercises should help you meet your recovery goals in a more timely manner.
