Target The Many Sides Of Neck Pain With Physical Therapy
Neck pain can show up in many different ways. For some, it’s a sharp discomfort when turning the head. For others, it’s a dull ache at the base of the skull, tension spreading into the shoulders or even neck pain and headache combined.
You might feel stiffness first thing in the morning, soreness after long hours at a desk or the lingering effects of a past injury. Whether your symptoms began suddenly or have developed into chronic neck pain over time, finding the cause is the first step toward achieving relief.
At Physical Therapy Associates, we treat more than just the pain — we address the factors behind it. From stiff neck pain caused by muscle strain to back of neck pain linked to posture or joint issues, our team in Huntsville and Conroe uses a comprehensive approach to help you move comfortably again.
Pinpointing The Source Of Neck Pain: Common Causes
At Physical Therapy Associates, we go beyond the code to uncover the full story behind your symptoms. Whether your pain is sudden or chronic, understanding its cause allows us to create a treatment plan focused on meaningful, long-term relief.
Some of the most common causes of neck pain include:
- Poor posture — Slouching or forward head position, often from prolonged computer or phone use.
- Muscle strain — Overstretching or tearing of muscles from sudden movements or repetitive stress.
- Whiplash — Injury from rapid back-and-forth movement of the neck, commonly from vehicle accidents.
- Degenerative disc disease — Wear on the discs between vertebrae that can cause pain and stiffness.
- Nerve compression — Pinched nerves due to herniated discs, bone spurs or spinal narrowing.
- Arthritis – Joint inflammation in the cervical spine leading to stiffness and reduced mobility.
