Back and Neck Pain

Back and Neck Pain

Neck and back pain can interfere with nearly every aspect of daily life. The spine plays a central role in movement, posture, and stability, and injuries or dysfunction can lead to pain, stiffness, weakness, or nerve symptoms that limit activity and confidence.

Our physical therapy services for neck and back pain are designed to address the root cause of symptoms—not just provide temporary relief—so you can move safely and comfortably again.

Common Causes of Neck and Back Pain

Neck and spine conditions may result from:

  • Sports injuries or trauma
  • Car accidents and whiplash
  • Repetitive stress or overuse
  • Poor posture and ergonomics
  • Disc injuries or arthritis
  • Post-surgical stiffness or weakness

Many patients come to us after trying medications, injections, or rest without lasting improvement.

Our Approach to Spine Rehabilitation

Our approach emphasizes individualized, evidence-based care focused on restoring movement and reducing pain. Your physical therapist works one-on-one with you to develop a personalized treatment plan aligned with your goals and daily activities.

We prioritize active rehabilitation to improve strength, mobility, and confidence while reducing fear of movement and risk of re-injury.

Your care begins with a comprehensive evaluation of posture, mobility, strength, and movement patterns. Treatment may include:

  • Targeted therapeutic exercises
