Neck Pain Relief
The pain that is caused by neck strain and injury can be considerable and intense. The anatomy of the cervical spine works well to support your head and protect the spinal cord. It permits mobility and allows for range of motion. This great flexibility also leaves the neck vulnerable to injury to the soft tissues including muscles, ligaments, and tendons.
Common Causes of Neck Pain
- Whiplash
- Cradling a phone in the crook of neck
- Improper posture, hunching or looking down
- Carrying a heavy object on one side of the body
- Degenerative diseases
A physical therapist can treat your neck pain and stiffness by stretching and strengthening your neck, aligning vertebrae, and improving your posture. The goal is to not only relieve your current neck pain and restore normal function, but to take steps to prevent future problems.
A medical doctor should assess and determine if you could benefit from physical therapy treatment.
Happy National Coffee Day!

Massage Therapy focuses on the muscles. Rolfing Structural Integration concentrates on the connective tissue (fascia), the protective layer of the muscles. The goal of Structural Integration is for the body to return to its anatomically ideal position. Realigning and balancing the body can have great benefits and often helps people recover and heal from injuries, minimizes stress and pain, improves balance, increases flexibility, and improves overall wellness. Call Active Rehab Center; Madison Heights at 248-399-1060 or Shelby Township at 586-803-0303 to set up a consultation and learn more how Rolfing can help you.
