Neck Pain
Do You Find It Challenging To Sleep, Engage In Weightlifting, Reach Overhead Cabinets, Check Your Blind Spots While Driving, Or Perform Your Daily Tasks At Home Or Work Due To Neck Pain And Headaches?
DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
- You hoped the discomfort would disappear after a few days or weeks, but it has persisted.
- You've attempted various at-home remedies, such as heating pads, applying ice, and using TENS devices, but unfortunately, they provided no relief, correct?
- Did you try getting a couple of massages only to find that the discomfort returned shortly after?
- You sought help from a medical professional, who examined you, administered an injection, or prescribed medication, but the effects wore off quickly?
- You underwent physical therapy in the past, but it proved ineffective.
- You've come to the conclusion that you can manage reasonably well as long as you avoid engaging in activities that aggravate the pain, am I right?
Our Goal Is To Assist You In Discovering Long-Lasting Solutions.
We Specialize In Treating Common Neck Disorders, Including:
- Headaches
- Joint Stiffness
- Muscle Strains and Tension
- Degenerative Disc Disease & Injuries
These Disorders Are Typically Caused By:
- Impaired Mechanics: Weakness and muscle imbalances reduce the range of motion, while joint stiffness and inflexibility affect posture.
- Sudden Load or Impact: Injuries can occur due to an abrupt load or impact on the tissues.
- Chronic Compensatory Mechanisms: Past injuries or fear of future ones may cause some muscle groups to be underused while others are overused, leading to compensatory patterns.
The Approach Of Push Through Performance Includes The Following Strategies:
- Enhancing proper neck and thoracic (midback) posture.
- Alleviating tension in the upper neck muscles.
- Improving flexibility in the chest and neck muscles.
- Utilizing manipulation, manual joint mobilization, and manual traction to enhance joint mobility.
- Strengthening the neck and shoulder blade muscles for better flexion.
- Incorporating techniques like massage, instrument-assisted mobilization, and cupping to increase tissue mobility.
- Implementing specific nerve exercises to reduce nerve sensitivity and address symptoms like numbness, tingling, and arm pain.
- Developing functional and plyometric exercises involving throwing, catching, pushing, pulling, and pressing.
Key Points To Keep In Mind:
- Tissues can recover.However, sometimes our body’s repair process gets stuck in the inflammatory stage, requiring assistance to progress toward full recovery.
- MRI and X-ray imaging may not always accuratelycorrelate with the actual source of pain. Tissue damage may be present without pain or functional issues, and conversely, pain can exist without significant findings on imaging due to heightened nervous tissue sensitivity.
- Post-exercise soreness is not always a cause for concern.Actual strength gains involve micro damage to tissues, which grow stronger and thicker. Soreness can serve as a gauge to determine if the tissue is ready to handle the increased load. If not, training intensity should be reduced until it is ready.
- With proper guidance, good mechanics, and gradual tissue loading, returning to previous or desired activities is typically feasible.
