Neck Pain

Neck pain is pain that starts in the neck and can be associated with radiating pain down one or both of the arms. Neck pain can come from a number of disorders or diseases that involve any of the tissues in the neck, nerves, bones, joints, ligaments or muscles.

Symptoms of Neck pain

• Stiff neck
• Sharp pain
• Pain when moving
• Radiating pain or numbness
• Headache
• Pain when palpated
  
  

Causes of Neck pain

• Worry or stress
• Sleeping awkwardly
• An accident, which can cause whiplash
• A sprain or a strain
• A flare-up of cervical spondylosis; which can happen as the discs and joints in the spine age.
  
  
  

Physical therapy is one of the most common treatments for chronic neck pain. Most physical therapy programs for neck pain involve applying treatments to reduce pain and/or stiffness enough to begin an exercise program of strengthening and stretching the neck. The specific methods and exercises used in physical therapy, as well as the duration of the treatment plan, can vary from person to person.
