Are you currently dealing with chronic headaches and/or neck pain? You are not alone! 30% of individuals dealing with neck pain will develop chronic symptoms that last greater than 6 months1. The most troublesome piece is the financial distress it can cause (possible loss of income due to disability, imaging, medications, injections, and surgeries) when in most cases they are not warranted and do not provide the relief you’re looking for. Most neck pain is nonspecific meaning there isn’t one cause or anatomical structure causing your symptoms. So why is conventional medicine treating neck pain with the shotgun approach?
The most important step in finding relief of your symptoms is seeking out an expert that is licensed in evaluation and treating musculoskeletal injuries such as nonspecific neck pain and headaches. A thorough evaluation must be completed and will provide you with a better understanding of why you are dealing with this pain, along with a structured program that combines both manual therapy and corrective exercise.
