Back & Neck Pain

From a stiff morning neck to pain that has been building for years, we find what is actually driving it and build a plan to resolve it — not just manage it.

Signs it’s time to get this checked

  • Pain that lingers more than a week or two
  • Stiffness that limits turning or bending
  • Pain radiating into your shoulder, arm, or leg
  • Trouble sitting, driving, or sleeping comfortably

What tends to cause it

Back and neck pain usually comes from a mix of posture, muscle imbalance, disc or joint irritation, or an old injury that never fully resolved. A thorough evaluation tells us which of these is actually at play for you, so treatment targets the cause and not just the symptom.

How we treat it

Manual therapy

Targeted exercise

Strengthening and mobility work built around your specific findings.

Posture & mechanics

Common questions

Do I need a referral for back or neck pain?
No. New York allows direct access to physical therapy, so you can book an evaluation with us directly.
Will I need imaging first?
Not usually. Most back and neck pain can be evaluated and treated without an MRI or X-ray; we will tell you if imaging looks necessary.
How long until I feel better?
Many patients notice a difference within the first few visits, with a full plan typically running several weeks depending on what we find.
