Neck Pain

Neck pain making it hard to turn your head, work comfortably, or sleep well?

Neck pain can affect nearly every part of your day, from sitting at a desk to driving, exercising, or getting a good night’s rest. At Advanced Physical Medicine Center, our doctors and physical therapists focus on identifying what is causing your neck pain and creating a clear plan to help you feel better.

We work with patients experiencing neck pain related to posture, desk work, stress, injuries, auto accidents, sports, and chronic conditions. With hands-on care and coordinated treatment, our providers help reduce pain, restore movement, and improve daily comfort.

Why Am I Experiencing Neck Pain?

The neck supports the weight of the head and allows for a wide range of motion, which makes it vulnerable to strain, stiffness, and injury. Neck pain may develop suddenly after trauma or gradually from poor posture, repetitive movement, or age-related changes. Muscles, joints, discs, and nerves can all contribute to neck discomfort.

Our doctors focus on finding the true source of your neck pain so treatment can address the cause, not just the symptoms. Common causes of neck pain include:

Muscle strain or tension

Overuse, stress, or poor posture that leads to tight or painful neck muscles.

Degenerative disc disease

Age-related changes that reduce disc cushioning and increase joint stress.

Poor posture

Forward head posture or prolonged screen use that places extra strain on the cervical spine.

Arthritis of the neck

Joint degeneration or inflammation that leads to stiffness and limited motion.

Cervical disc herniation

Bulging or herniated discs in the neck that place pressure on nearby nerves.

Pinched nerves

Compression of cervical nerves that causes pain, numbness, or weakness.

Cervical radiculopathy

Nerve compression that causes pain, tingling, or weakness radiating into the shoulder or arm.

Head and jaw involvement

Conditions such as TMJ dysfunction that can contribute to neck tension and pain.

Facet joint dysfunction

Irritation of the small joints in the neck that can cause stiffness and localized pain.

Post-surgical neck pain

Weakness, stiffness, or scar tissue following neck surgery.

Whiplash injuries

Sudden acceleration or deceleration, often from auto accidents, that strains muscles and ligaments.

Repetitive strain injuries

Ongoing stress from work, sports, or daily activities that overload the neck.
