Physical Therapy for Back Pain and Neck Pain
More than 90 percent of people experience back pain or neck pain at some point in their lives. Unfortunately, many people do nothing about it and suffer from symptoms that often worsen if left untreated. The good news is that physical therapy can usually determine the factors contributing to the problem, relieve the pain, and resolve the situation.
Back pain or neck pain can be caused by work tasks, habitual postures, or overuse. More obviously, the pain may result in a serious injury such as a fall or other accident. Sometimes, a spinal problem can cause pain to radiate to the arms, legs, or head. Spinal issues can result in a loss in productivity at home and work and keep you from doing the things you love.

The most common cause of back pain or neck pain is a muscle injury from excessive stretch or excessive strain.
