NECK PAIN
That Pain in Your Neck Doesn't Have to Stay That Way!
Neck pain has a way of making everything harder. Turning to check your blind spot, sleeping comfortably, getting through a workday without that dull ache creeping up — it adds up fast. Whether your neck pain showed up after a car accident, built up gradually from hours at a desk, or just arrived one morning out of nowhere, you shouldn't have to just live with it.
The good news? Neck pain is one of the most treatable conditions we see at Active Alliance Physical Therapy, and we'd love to help you get back to feeling like yourself again.
Common Causes of Neck Pain We Treat
Neck pain doesn't look the same for everyone, and that's exactly why a cookie-cutter approach doesn't work. Some of the most common issues we help people with include:
Muscle strains and tension — often muscles develop too much tension when they’re not getting enough support from the other muscles around them! We help you alleviate that imbalance.
Cervical disc problems — disc bulges, herniations, protrusions, etc. are incredibly common, and can relate to pain you’re having in your neck
Cervical radiculopathy — an irritated nerve in the neck that can cause shooting pain into the upper back and/or arm. Sometimes this pain can be accompanied by numbness, tingling, or weakness
Whiplash — from car accidents or other sudden impacts
Arthritis/degenerative disc disease — age-related changes that sometimes cause stiffness and discomfort. Physical therapy can often help!
Headaches related to neck dysfunction — yes, your headaches and your neck pain might be connected!
How We Treat Neck Pain
We'll start by getting to know you — your symptoms, your history, and your goals. From there, we put together a treatment plan built specifically for your situation. No generic protocols, no guesswork.
Depending on what's going on with your neck, your treatment may include:
Manual Therapy — Hands-on techniques like joint mobilization, soft tissue work, and targeted massage to reduce pain and restore movement. When a skilled therapist works directly with the structures causing your pain, results happen faster.
Therapeutic Exercise — We'll guide you through exercises designed to strengthen the muscles supporting your neck and upper back, improve posture, and prevent your pain from coming back. And don't worry — we'll make sure you actually know how to do them correctly before you leave.
Dry Needling — This is one of our favorite tools for stubborn neck tension and muscle knots. It sounds intimidating to some people, but most of our patients are surprised by how much relief it brings.
Education — Understanding why your neck hurts and what's making it worse is a huge part of getting better. We'll help you connect the dots and make simple changes that support your recovery long-term.
