Neck pain can stem for a multitude of reasons. We check to make sure the upper extremities and mid back are working and moving the way they are supposed to. We have a lot of patients with neck pain given the nature of most of our jobs and the time we spend sitting. Joint mobs and manual traction are some manual techniques we use in the clinic to decrease pain and improve mobility. Stretches and exercises to regain motion and decrease pain are given to patients. Strengthening the arms and the core can also help decrease neck pain and allow us to move the way we want to.
