Neck Pain in Huntington

Discover How To Ease Annoying, Daily, Irritating, Neck And Shoulder Pain Naturally – Before It Gets Any Worse!

If you’re living with an irritating neck, that is painful or that is achy, or it goes into your shoulder and arm area, then it is very easy to think that it’s “just something that comes with your age”, it is a bit of “wear and tear”, or that it’s nothing and it will just go away on its own.

You can’t quite put your finger on why you’re feeling pain in your neck and/or shoulder – but it does not seem to be getting any better!

If that’s happening to you, you’re not alone – we hear this type of thing all the time. The simple fact is that neck / shoulder pain are a pretty common problem that we see in our physical therapy clinic in Huntington.

And when it comes to living with this neck / shoulder pain, everybody we see wants to know the answers to these simple questions:

“Why Is This Happening To Me?”…

“Why Am I Still Suffering After 6 Months With The Same Neck/ Shoulder Pain That Keeps Getting Worse After Putting Up With It?”…

Most people think that when they get neck or shoulder pain, it will eventually “ease off” and go away on its own. Or that they will wake up one morning and this elusive pain will have magically disappeared… neck or shoulder pain will be a thing of the past… But then 6 months later you are still living with daily discomfort and pain. Maybe sleeping is becoming even more difficult. And the pain is often even worse than it was when it first came on.

Does That Sound Like Something You Have Experienced?

Another scenario we often see in our physical therapy clinic is when people go to the doctor, and the doctor tells them to rest and “try these painkillers”, waiting to “see how it goes”. Then 6 weeks goes by, they end up returning to the same doctor again because it hasn’t gotten any better, only to be given another prescription of even stronger pills or told to go see a surgeon.

Has It Ever Happened To You?

Many people are often confused by the pain and limitations because they’ve been told so many different things, by multiple people. Perhaps you think you have a neck problem – but did you know that it could very well be your shoulder where the problem is? Or what you think is a shoulder problem is very often originating from the neck. I know… that can be a challenging way of connecting the body and it can be quite confusing. But that is how the body works. That’s why we went to school for so many years, so that we can figure out where the issues are and treat that. And NOT all physical therapists are created equal. Coming to see a Physical Therapy Specialist at Univerus PT will be the best thing you’ve done for yourself. We are master diagnosticians! We will help figure out exactly WHERE the pain is coming from! Still, people often procrastinate because they can’t sort it out. And ultimately, they put off making a decision about what to do to help fix their neck and shoulder pain. What’s even worse is that many people just end just accepting it as ‘part of life’ – as if it’s normal, or as if it “has” to be that way. The best thing to do is at least consult with an expert and find out WHAT is really going on, instead or just ignoring it!

Does This Sound Familiar?

If You’re Currently Living With Neck And/Or Shoulder Pain, Here’s 7 More Reasons Why It Could Be Lasting Longer Than It Should”

You thought it would go away on it’s own-but it didn’t.
You went to the doctor who told you to rest and take painkillers-but the pills did nothing significant to help, and as soon as they wore off, the neck and shoulder pain struck again.
A family member, or friend told you that everyone gets Neck and Shoulder pain as they get older, so you just accepted it.
You sought help from other Healthcare Professionals or a Physical Therapist in the past, but nothing they said or did seemed to help because they never figured out the SOURCE of the problem, and instead spent the majority of your session making you do cookie-cutter exercises (without supervision) that you could be doing at home.
You’ve tried using things at home like heating pads, and maybe other practitioners have used ultrasound or TENS but they’ve done nothing to help make the pain better, or this just lessened the pain to a tolerable level but never really resolved the issue.
You thought it would be a good idea to rest because your neck or shoulder pain was so bad, but it still irritates you daily.
You decided to get a few “massages” or acupuncture hoping that would fix the problem, but all that did was feel nice and relaxing, but didn’t do anything to fix it long term.

If any of these have happened to you, then we would LOVE to help you by inviting you to book a call to talk with one of our physical therapy experts at our clinic to find out what can be done to help you.

The fact that you’ve tried any or all of these things already is actually a GOOD THING because when you know what doesn’t work and you are closer to finding the few things that do!

The phone call is complementary and there is no obligation to book any appointments with us after the call is over.

“What Can You Do To Get Rid Of Neck/Shoulder Pain?

Well, here’s 4 things you can do:

First, you need to make a decision about getting help – So many people procrastinate for so long, thinking that the pain will ‘just go away with time’, but then 6 to 8 months down the line they’re still putting up with it, and nothing’s changed… Or it gets worse.
Next, do the RIGHT exercises – one of the best things to help you ease your neck and/or shoulder pain is to do the right series of progressed exercises – the right exercises given to your by a Physical Therapist specialist will help reduce pain, and allow you to move freely again, quickly- and make sure that the problems don’t come back any time soon.
Avoid sitting and sleeping in awkward positions without being aware of your posture – Have you ever woken up with a painful neck? Or, after a long day spent sitting felt tightness in your shoulders? That’s because one of the worst things you can do that adds to neck and/or shoulder pain is sitting with bad posture and sleeping in awkward positions. It would really help if you were given appropriate strengthening exercises for better posture, alongside hands-on treatments, so you can get active and healthy as quickly as possible.

“I am a yogi and former dancer with a hyper mobile pelvis. Shadan’s expertise is unbelievable. She always helped me recover from my injuries. Always friendly and yet focused on her manipulations and the exercises given to me. She always has been able to see me in as soon as she could when I needed her. Why would one want to go elsewhere?”
