Back and neck pain can interfere with almost every aspect of a person’s life. The pain is a constant reminder that something is wrong and needs to be addressed. The injuries related to the neck or back can involve muscle spasms, nerve compression, or bony deterioration, all manifesting as severe pain. The sources and incidents of the pain can vary greatly. Some people have shooting pain after bending over to pick up their children. Other people experience whiplash-like symptoms following an accident or even wake up in the morning with muscle spasms. Chronic pain due to longstanding and prolonged degeneration can also reduce a person’s willingness to move. Whatever the cause may be Physical Therapy should be the first choice when pain and weakness are involved.
A pain in your hip can affect our entire body. 
Back pain can radiate down your entire spine.
Neck pain can be far more than a pain in the neck. Proper stabilization and decompression along with strengthening and muscle re-education can reduce the deleterious effects of neck and back pain. Patient awareness and education on the root cause of their pain can highlight improved lifestyle modifications, allowing greater understanding of the injury and future prevention. The Physical Therapist will construct a tailored plan of action that focuses on the reduction of symptoms, improvements in weakness and instability, and corrections to posture that have contributed to a loss of function. The Physical Therapist will address any muscle, joint, or nerve related dysfunction and work to bring the patient back to their former active lifestyle.
