Neck pain is an uncomfortable feeling in your upper spine, muscles, or other soft tissues in your neck. Treatment may be able to help you find the natural relief that you seek.

Neck pain is common and can happen to anyone, but things that increase your risk of developing it may include:
Over time, the pain might go away on its own. However, if your neck pain is severe or ongoing, schedule an appointment at TLC Physical Therapy for treatment.
Your provider reviews your symptoms and medical history. And then, they complete a physical exam, where they check your vital signs. They could also order blood tests or an imaging procedure like X-rays, an MRI, or a CT scan. They may conduct nerve studies as well to assess neck pain.
Physical therapy is a highly effective treatment for neck pain. You might need physical therapy combined with other pain-relieving treatments for the best result. These include wearing a brace, using ice or heat packs, undergoing electrical stimulation, or, in some cases, having surgery.
Physical therapy includes stretching and injury-specific strength exercises and, in many cases, therapeutic massage. These holistic treatments strengthen tissues, ease tension, improve circulation, and speed healing.
Your therapist tailors each therapy treatment to match your needs. You could meet with them a few times a week, once weekly, or as needed for neck pain relief.
