Neck Pain
Your neck plays a crucial role in everyday movement, and any pain can seriously disrupt your ability to function in daily life. Neck pain can cause intense discomfort, especially when it radiates down to your shoulders, and can worsen if not treated properly—sometimes even leading to the need for surgery in severe cases.
Whether you're struggling to sit up straight at work or having difficulty bending your head to tie your shoes, physical therapy at our Bronxville, NY and Mamaroneck, NY offices can help restore normal, pain-free function.
Neck pain usually starts at the base of the skull and extends to the top of the shoulder blades, often settling in the back of the neck. The pain can range from a constant, dull ache to sharp, stabbing sensations. It may also come with additional symptoms, such as:
​
Difficulty standing or sitting up straight
Stiffness and tightness in the upper body
Discomfort when staying in the same position for too long
Trouble sleeping due to pain
Numbness or tingling in the upper extremities
Headaches
Weakness in the arms
