NECK PAIN THERAPY

Neck pain is a common condition that can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor posture, muscle strain, injury, degenerative disc disease, and arthritis. The pain can be mild or severe and can be accompanied by other symptoms such as stiffness, headaches, and numbness or tingling in the arms or hands.

L.I. CARE PHYSICAL THERAPY AND OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY's physical therapists can design a personalized exercise program to help improve neck strength and mobility, reduce pain and inflammation, and prevent further injury. Common physical therapy interventions for neck pain include:

• Stretching exercises can help improve flexibility in the neck muscles and reduce muscle tension and stiffness.

• Strengthening exercises can help improve the strength of the neck muscles, which can reduce the risk of injury and improve posture.

Posture corrections: A physical therapist can provide education on proper ergonomics, posture, and body mechanics to reduce the risk of aggravating the condition.

Modalities: Various modalities, such as heat or cold therapy, ultrasound, electrical stimulation and massage therapy can be used to reduce pain and inflammation and promote healing.

• Range of motion exercises can help improve the mobility of the neck and reduce stiffness.

Manual therapy techniques such as joint mobilization, soft tissue mobilization and trigger point therapy can be used to relieve pain and improve the range of motion.

Education: A physical therapist can provide education on proper sleeping positions, pillows, and other lifestyle changes to help prevent future episodes of neck pain.
