Neck Pain Relief Edison & Paramus, NJ

Neck Pain Relief

Jicel M.

"Eva Mohanty is a great therapist. She is very friendly and caring. She treats all her clients as her own child. She pushes you to do the exercises correctly in a good way. She doesn't push you hard if you're in a lot of pain. I remember one time I went to therapy with a lot of pain, and she went easy on me that day. I had multiple surgeries on my neck and back. She worked on getting my neck to be more flexible, but she doesn't make me do any exercises that will cause too much pain in my neck and back. She will always make sure if you're doing ok or in pain while doing exercises. Her goal is to make her clients have less pain and succeed in therapy. She is the kindest and most caring physical therapist that I ever had. She still cares about me and checks if I am doing well even though I'm not her client anymore. She is the kind of person who cares for everyone." - Jicel M.

Finding Relief Doesn’t Have to be a Pain in the Neck – Physical Therapy Can Relieve Your Neck Pains ASAP

Your neck is an integral area of everyday movement, and sharp pains can prevent you from functioning properly in your day-to-day life. Whether your neck pain presents difficulty when trying to sit up straight in your chair at work or tilting your head down to tie your shoes, physical therapy can help get you back to a normal, pain-free function.

Neck pain can cause debilitating and extremely uncomfortable sensations, especially if the pain stretches from your neck down to your shoulders. According to the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), approximately one-third of the population will experience neck pain in any given year. It can get worse if left untreated, and in severe cases, surgery may even be needed.

Many people are able to find relief from their neck pain every year through the help of physical therapy. Our Edison and Paramus, NJ physical therapy practice is dedicated to providing you with the relief you need.

Physical therapy and neck pain

Physical therapy is one of the best methods for treating neck pain. At Jeevam Therapy, our physical therapists will conduct an initial physical evaluation to analyze the range of motion in your neck, as well as any limitations you have due to your pain.

They will then create a diagnosis that will determine the make-up of your treatment plan. You will work together to understand the goals and expectations of each step in your individualized treatment plan, with the main focus being overcoming neck pain and recovering as quickly as possible.

Treatments for your neck pain will most likely include manual or “hands-on” therapy, which consists of special techniques designed to reduce the stiffness of your neck and improve its range of motion. Our Edison and Paramus, NJ physical therapists will also provide you with targeted exercises that will strengthen, build, and improve the muscles and tissues in your neck.

We will focus on improving your posture to aid in the recovery of your neck muscles, as well as avoiding re-injury in the future. Additional treatment services may include ice and heat therapy, ultrasound, or electrical stimulation, as our physical therapist deems fit.

What’s causing my neck pain?

Neck pain is most commonly caused by injury to the tissues or bone structures in the neck; however, certain degenerative conditions can also lead to neck pain. Some common conditions that give you a pain in your neck include:

Joint degeneration

Much like any other joint in your body, the neck joints can erode with age, causing pain. Conditions such as osteoarthritis can also reduce the cartilage between the vertebrae in the neck, also resulting in neck pain.

Illnesses

Certain diseases and ailments can result in neck pain, such as rheumatoid arthritis, meningitis, or cancer.

Nerve compression

If you have a herniated disc in your neck, or narrowing of the foramen (space where the nerves exit the spine), the nerves that branch out from your spinal cord can become compressed. In some cases, nerve pain can even extend from the neck all the way down to the hands and fingers — a condition known as “radiculopathy.”

Muscle strains

The muscles in your neck can become strained by overuse. Even something as simple as sitting at your desk all day with your neck craned toward the computer screen can lead to a strain in your neck muscles.

Injuries

Whiplash is one of the most common injuries that result in neck pain, typically sustained by an automobile or high-impact sports collision. This is known as a “strain” injury, causing the head to whip rapidly back-and-forth, thus affecting the soft tissues in the back of the neck.

Why did my neck pain develop?

There are a number of reasons why neck pain may occur. When someone experiences neck pain, it typically runs from the base of their skull to the top of their shoulder blades, finally settling in the back of the neck. The pain can vary in severity, from a constant dull ache to sharp and stabbing pains.

Neck pain can sometimes include additional symptoms, including but not limited to:

  • Inability to fully stand up or sit up straight
  • Arm weakness
  • Loss of sleep due to pain and discomfort
  • Discomfort and pain when remaining in the same position for too long
  • Numbness or tingling into the upper extremities
  • Stiffness and muscle tightness in the upper body
  • Headaches
