Neck Pain

Are You Struggling To Sleep, Lift Weights, Reach Overhead Cabinets, Look Over Your Shoulder While Driving, Or Perform Your Daily Tasks At Home Or Work Due To Neck Pain And Headaches?

Does This Sound Familiar?

You anticipated the discomfort would diminish within a few days or weeks, but it has persisted.
You've already attempted various self-care remedies such as heating pads, applying ice, and TENS devices, but unfortunately, they didn't provide relief.
Perhaps you received a few massages, which offered temporary comfort, only for the discomfort to return a few days later.
You sought medical attention and received an examination, an injection, or a prescription, but the effects were short-lived.
You previously underwent physical therapy, but it didn't yield the desired results.
You've come to the conclusion that you can manage adequately as long as you avoid activities that aggravate the pain, is that right?

Our Goal Is To Assist You In Discovering Long-Lasting Solutions For Your Condition.

We Specialize In Treating Common Neck Disorders, Including:

These Disorders Can Arise From Various Causes, Such As:

Impaired Mechanics: Weakness and muscle imbalances can limit your range of motion, while joint stiffness and inflexibility can impact your posture.
Sudden Load or Impact: Injury can occur when there is a sudden load or impact on the neck tissues.
Chronic Compensatory Mechanisms: Past injuries or the fear of future injuries can lead to compensatory mechanisms, where specific muscle groups are underutilized while others are overused.

The Approach Taken By VAYA Physical Therapy and Wellness Focuses On:

Correcting neck and thoracic (mid-back) posture to improve alignment and reduce strain on the neck.
Addressing muscle tension in the upper neck region alleviates discomfort and promotes relaxation.
Enhancing flexibility in the chest and neck muscles improves the range of motion and prevents stiffness.
Utilizing manipulation, manual joint mobilization, and manual traction to enhance joint mobility and restore proper function.
Implementing targeted exercises to strengthen the muscles responsible for neck flexion and shoulder blade movement, optimizing their effectiveness.
Incorporating instrument-assisted mobilization to increase tissue mobility and promote healing.
Prescribing specific nerve exercises to reduce nerve sensitivity alleviates symptoms like numbness, tingling, and pain that may extend down the arm.
Enhancing overall performance by designing functional exercises that mimic daily and sport specific activities.

What You Need To Know:

Tissues have the ability to recover: The body has a natural healing process, but sometimes it gets stuck in the inflammatory stage. Seeking appropriate assistance can help the body progress toward complete recovery.
Imaging results may not reflect the actual cause of pain: MRI and x-ray findings do not always correlate well with pain or functional impairment. Tissue damage may be visible on imaging without experiencing pain, while pain can exist without notable findings. This is often due to increased sensitivity of the nervous tissue.
Exercise-induced soreness is not always a cause for concern: Soreness following exercise is not necessarily a sign of injury. It can indicate that the tissue has undergone microdamage, leading to subsequent growth and strengthening. Monitoring soreness levels can help determine if the tissue is ready for increased load. Adjusting training intensity accordingly is vital for optimal recovery.
Return to previous activities is achievable: With proper guidance, correct movement mechanics, and gradual progression of tissue loading, it is likely to return to previous activities or engage in desired ones. Following sound instructions and allowing for progressive adaptation can help regain function and prevent future issues.

Ultimately, we can assist you in reclaiming a life that is no longer burdened by the persistent curse of chronic neck pain.
