Bone and Joint Health National Awareness Week
National Awareness Week for Bone and Joint Health begins on October 12th. This week serves as a reminder of the importance of education and research needed to improve the quality of life for those suffering. Function, mobility and overall movement due to disease, pain, and injuries is a reality for many. Active Rehab Center is proud to have a significant role in improving the well-being and lives of our patients.
Neck Pain Relief
The pain that is caused by neck strain and injury can be considerable and intense. The anatomy of the cervical spine works well to support your head and protect the spinal cord. It permits mobility and allows for range of motion. This great flexibility also leaves the neck vulnerable to injury to the soft tissues including muscles, ligaments, and tendons.
Common Causes of Neck Pain
- Whiplash
- Cradling a phone in the crook of neck
- Improper posture, hunching or looking down
- Carrying a heavy object on one side of the body
- Degenerative diseases
A physical therapist can treat your neck pain and stiffness by stretching and strengthening your neck, aligning vertebrae, and improving your posture. The goal is to not only relieve your current neck pain and restore normal function, but to take steps to prevent future problems.
A medical doctor should assess and determine if you could benefit from physical therapy treatment.
Happy National Coffee Day!
