Neck / Shoulder
Neck and shoulder pain can be more than just annoying—it can make everyday tasks like turning your head, lifting objects, or even sleeping feel like a challenge. At Somatic Physical Therapy, we understand how debilitating these conditions can be and are committed to providing expert care that helps you find long-lasting relief and regain comfort in your daily life.
Why Neck and Shoulder Pain Occur
The neck and shoulders are crucial for mobility and strength, but their constant use makes them highly prone to pain and injury. Some of the most common causes include:
- Poor posture, such as slouching or forward head position
- Muscle tension from stress or overuse
- Injuries, including whiplash or rotator cuff strains
- Shoulder impingement or instability
- Herniated discs in the cervical spine
- Arthritis or degenerative changes
- Pinched nerves that lead to pain or restricted range of motion
Neck and shoulder pain can disrupt your work, limit your favorite activities, and diminish your overall quality of life. That’s where Somatic Physical Therapy comes in, offering solutions tailored to your specific needs.
