Understanding Neck Pain and How Physical Therapy Can Help
Neck pain is a common condition that affects many people due to poor posture, repetitive movements, injuries, or underlying medical conditions. If you experience stiffness, discomfort, or limited mobility in your neck, physical therapy can be an effective, non-invasive treatment option. At Cynergy PT, our experienced physical therapists develop personalized treatment plans to relieve pain, improve mobility, and restore function.
What to Expect at Your Consultation
Your comprehensive evaluation includes:
- A discussion about your symptoms, medical history, and daily activities
- A physical examination to assess your posture, range of motion, and muscle strength
- Identifying any potential underlying causes of your neck pain
Based on this thorough assessment, a customized treatment plan will be created to target the source of your discomfort and help you find relief.
