Cervical Spine
Neck pain can result from a variety of causes, ranging from overuse injuries, poor posture, accidents, whiplash, and growing older. The precise location and severity of your neck pain provides important clues in determining what might be causing it. Make sure to tell your physical therapist if any head of neck movements make your neck pain better or worse.
Your doctor will provide a medical diagnosis, and your physical therapist will assess and provide a plan of treatment.
