What Is Neck Pain?

How Is Neck Pain Treated?
At UMG Physical Therapy in Columbia, MD, neck pain, including cervical spine dysfunction, is treated using noninvasive, movement-based therapies. Your treatment will begin with a thorough evaluation to understand your symptoms and identify the root cause, such as poor posture, muscle strain, or cervical dysfunction. From there, your physical therapist will develop a personalized plan that may include stretching and strengthening exercises, manual therapy, posture correction, and other targeted techniques to improve mobility, reduce inflammation, and alleviate discomfort. The goal is to restore proper function to the cervical spine, reduce pain, and help you return to normal activities without invasive procedures.
What Causes Neck Pain?
Neck pain can range from mild soreness and stiffness to severe discomfort that limits your ability to move your neck or turn your head. It may also come with additional symptoms, such as numbness, headaches, or tingling in the arms and shoulders. You might experience weakness when lifting or holding objects, or the pain could worsen when sleeping. Persistent neck pain can be triggered by several factors, including:
- Muscle strain, whiplash, or trauma from a car accident
- Physical injury
- Osteoarthritis
- Poor posture
- Unsupportive sleeping positions
- Inadequate neck support from your pillow
- Sitting for extended periods in a non-ergonomic workspace
Addressing these contributing factors can help alleviate and prevent chronic neck pain.
