Neck Pain and Physical Therapy

Neck pain is very common but the good news is that most neck pain is not caused by serious disease.

Current research suggests that a combination of manual therapy and exercise can effectively relieve neck pain.

A recent study examining the efficacy of manual therapy directed to the neck and the upper back showed "75% had significant pain reduction and 70% experienced noticeable improvement in their ability to perform daily activities."

Patients with typical neck pain may benefit from a physical therapy program that includes exercises combined with neck mobilization. Potential benefits include less pain and improved ability to perform daily activities.  Your physical therapist can perform an evaluation to help determine if you are a good candidate for this treatment.
