What Is Neck & Shoulder Pain?
Neck and shoulder pain is a common complaint seen at Adapt Sports Therapy. The flexibility enabling the neck to move in so many different directions makes it less stable than other parts of the body. This instability makes the neck and surrounding joints susceptible to a variety of injuries.
Neck and shoulder injuries can result in a few days of mild discomfort from looking down at your phone or sleeping in a bad position to chronic pain, stiffness, and decreased range of motion lasting months. While trauma can lead to many conditions causing acute neck and shoulder pain, many of the root causes of ongoing upper-body pain are posture related. Sitting at desks, driving in cars and constantly looking down at devices promotes imbalances in the muscles that support and move the neck and shoulders. These strength discrepancies can lead to poor movement patterns and put excessive stress on the joints, ligaments, tendons and other structures of the neck and shoulders.
What Are The Symptoms of Neck & Shoulder Pain?
The symptoms of neck and shoulder pain can vary depending on the cause, but common signs include:
- Pain or tenderness in the neck, shoulders, or upper back.
- Stiffness that limits movement
- Headaches that stem from tension in the neck muscles
- Limited range of motion, making it difficult to turn your head or lift your arms
- Pain during certain activities, such as lifting, pitching, or even sleeping
- Numbness or tingling in the arms or hands in more severe cases
What Is Our Approach To Fixing Neck & Shoulder Pain?
Neck and shoulder pain can severely limit day to day activities so identifying the source is critical. At Adapt Sports Therapy, we focus on hands-on, holistic approach to treating neck and shoulder pain. We understand that simply resting, icing, or taking pain medications often doesn’t provide the lasting relief you need. That’s why our treatment plan goes beyond quick fixes.
We begin by using manual therapy to repair damaged tissues and alleviate immediate pain. Our skilled clinicians employ targeted techniques such as Active Release Therapy, cupping, and joint mobilization to restore mobility and reduce inflammation.
Once we’ve addressed the immediate pain, we focus on building strength and stability to support your neck and shoulder muscles. Our rehabilitation programs are designed to help you regain full function and confidence in your movement, ensuring that you’re able to return to the activities you love without fear of recurring pain.
