What We TreatNeck Pain

What Causes Neck Pain?Neck pain can be a common and debilitating condition that affects mobility, productivity, and overall well-being.

At Cypress Physical Therapy, we specialize in addressing neck pain, leveraging our expertise to provide targeted solutions. There are several possible causes of neck pain, including:

• Muscle strain: Overuse, poor posture, or sudden movements can lead to muscle strain in the neck, causing pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion.
• Cervical disc herniation: Bulging or herniated discs in the cervical spine can compress nearby nerves, causing pain, numbness, and tingling sensations that radiate down the arm (radiculopathy).
• Cervical spondylosis: Degenerative changes in the cervical spine, such as osteoarthritis, bone spurs, or disc degeneration, can lead to neck pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
• Whiplash injury: Sudden acceleration-deceleration forces, often occurring in motor vehicle accidents, can cause soft tissue injuries in the neck, resulting in pain, stiffness, and muscle spasms.
• Poor posture: Prolonged sitting, slouching, or excessive use of electronic devices can contribute to neck pain by placing strain on the muscles, ligaments, and joints of the neck.
• Stress and tension: Emotional stress, anxiety, or tension can lead to muscle tension and stiffness in the neck and shoulders, exacerbating neck pain.

Physical therapy can be highly effective in managing neck pain and promoting recovery. Treatment approaches may include:
