Neck Pain

Neck pain can be caused by various conditions including:

 • Muscle spasm

 • Arthritis, vertebral alignment deficits, and other joint issues

 • Poor muscle strength and balance

 • Poor posture

 • Disc related conditions

Any combination of these things can cause pressure on the nerves that travel out of the neck and into the arms, often causing pain not only in the neck but also down one or both arms.

Neck therapy frequently includes

 • Moist heat, ultrasound and electrical stimulation to loosen the muscles and help decrease pain

 • Manual treatment with stretching and massage

 • Postural exercises and re-education

 • Range of motion, strengthening and stabilization exercises to support the neck and all of its structures
