What’s next? You’ve got a decision to make – another month gone without solving your neck problem, or are you ready to get back to doing the things you love?
The most common causes of neck pain are muscle or ligament strain, poor posture ergonomics or sleep position.
You might have a serious neck issue if you experience severe or persistent pain, numbness, weakness, headaches, or pain after a major injury.
If it lasts more than a few days, keeps coming back, gets worse over time, or affects your ability to move or do daily activities.
Recovery from neck pain can take anywhere from a few days to several months, depending on the cause, severity, and how early you start proper treatment.
Yes, you can often still exercise with neck pain, but it’s important to choose the right activities and get guidance from a physical therapist to avoid making it worse.
You can help prevent neck pain by changing your sleeping habits, maintaining good posture, and avoiding prolonged sitting or poor ergonomics.
Neck pain often keeps coming back because underlying issues—such as muscle imbalances, poor ergonomics or posture, incomplete rehabilitation, and repeated strain—haven’t been fully addressed.
