Studies show that treatment by a physical therapist can provide short- and long-term relief for people with neck pain. A physical therapist designed program of exercises can relieve neck pain and improve mobility without expensive surgery or side effects of pain medication.
Proven treatments include manual physical therapy and exercise. Patients have reported they not only experienced pain relief, but were also less likely to seek additional medical care up to one year following treatment.
