How do we treat Neck Pain?

We feel that the best way to treat neck pain is finding the cause first.  We would do a thorough consultation, history, and examination to determine the underlying cause(s).  We then perform a functional evaluation to further evaluate involved tissues that need focused on to restore function.

Once this is completed we implement treatment strategies to not only help reduce symptoms, but restore function and help prevent recurrence.
