Neck Pain

Neck pain can often become a common yet disruptive issue, impacting our daily activities and overall comfort. This discomfort can stem from a variety of causes, including poor posture, muscle strain, stress, or underlying health conditions. As we age, the natural wear and tear on our cervical spine can also contribute to neck pain, leading to stiffness and reduced mobility.

How Does It Work?

How does root cause medicine approach neck pain treatment?

Root cause medicine focuses on identifying the underlying factors contributing to neck pain, rather than just masking the symptoms. This involves a thorough assessment of your posture, lifestyle habits, and any physical or emotional stressors that may be affecting your neck. By understanding these root causes, we can create a personalized treatment plan aimed at long-term relief and improved function.

What types of lifestyle changes can help alleviate neck pain?

Making targeted lifestyle changes can significantly reduce neck pain. Incorporating regular stretching and strengthening exercises, improving ergonomic setups at work, and practicing good posture can all contribute to relief. Additionally, stress management techniques, such as mindfulness or yoga, can help reduce muscle tension, further alleviating discomfort in the neck area.

What role does physical therapy play in treating neck pain?

Physical therapy can be a key component in treating neck pain through root cause medicine. The Institute for Functional Health can assess your neck function, identify weaknesses or imbalances, and design a tailored exercise program to improve strength and flexibility. Techniques such as manual therapy, stretching, and targeted exercises can help alleviate pain and restore proper movement.
