Neck Pain

We all experience neck pain from time to time – sometimes you sleep wrong, move your head too fast or overuse
Neck Pain physical therapy treatment

For some, the pain never goes away and causes continuous headaches. It can flare up while sitting for long periods of time, exercising, playing with your kids or while trying to do the sports you love. No matter what symptoms you’re experiencing, there is help. Our team at PRO Therapy can help you find the root cause.

Common Cause of Neck Pain

Getting to the bottom of what’s bothering your neck is key to creating the best treatment plan for you. In addition to pain, other signs and symptoms can indicate if there’s an issue with your neck, like:

  • Persistent ache or stiffness in the neck
  • Shooting pain from neck to shoulders or arms
  • Headaches
  • Difficulty turning the neck
  • Numbness or tingling in shoulders, arms or fingers
    Neck strain usually comes from everyday activities with poor posture, working at a desk for too long without change, sleeping with your neck in a bad position or wrong movement during an exercise.

    Other common neck pain is caused by motor vehicle accidents – Strained, torn, or stretched ligaments can cause ongoing neck pain after an accident. Even if time has passed and it doesn’t seem related, letting your provider know of any motor vehicle accident history is important.

    Neck Pain Treatment

    Our team of physical therapists, all fully licensed Doctors of Physical Therapy, have a bunch of tricks up their sleeves to ease your neck pain and get you moving again

    Manual Therapy

    Joint mobilization
    Gentle movements to improve mobility in areas of the spine that are restricted, restoring normal joint mechanics and reducing stiffness.

    Soft tissue mobilization
    Techniques like massage and myofascial release may be used to release tension in muscles, ligaments and fascia focused around the spine.

    Trigger point therapy
    We provide targeted pressure to alleviate muscle tension and improve function.

    Therapeutic Interventions

    Movement Analysis
    During movement analysis, our physical therapists analyze posture, balance, and other factors to help diagnose the root cause of your pain.

    Custom Rehab Programs
    We create personalized rehab plans to strengthen your muscles, boost your flexibility, and help you straighten up your posture.

    Postural Training
    We’ll give you the lowdown on Posture 101 – what is best for you right now? Should you stand? Should you sit? Both? Let us help you find the best postural changes for you.

    Therapeutic Interventions

    Custom Rehab Programs
    We’ll create a personalized rehab program to strengthen the muscles supporting the neck, improve your flexibility, and provide more stability.

    Functional Training
    We pay special attention to simulating real-life movements to improve overall function and performance.

    Activity modification and return to sport
    We help you carefully and gradually progress your activity level to reduce the risk of re-injury.

    The PRO Therapy Difference

    At PRO Therapy, our goal is to empower you to live a pain-free life by addressing the root causes of your neck pain and providing comprehensive treatment tailored to your unique needs.

    If you’re suffering from neck pain and stiffness, it’s easy to hope that it will go away on its own. You might think you just slept awkwardly, or it’s just a spasm, or that everyone your age has neck pain.

    If you’re experiencing neck pain and don’t know what caused it, everything you’ve tried isn’t working and you’re fed up – you’ve come to the right place. As a matter of fact, general neck pain and sciatica are the most common concerns that we hear about at PRO Therapy.

    The difference between seeing one of our physical therapists and seeing your primary care doctor or another type of provider is that a Doctor of Physical Therapy is more specialized in assessing causes of pain and stiffness.

    In just a couple of sessions, we can often dial down your pain and stiffness and get you feeling better fast.

    Dr. Lily has provided patient and caring physical therapy for a few different injuries I've had. She is always helpful, open, and pays attention to the various issues that come with being an older woman. I also appreciate that she is always on time and that the support staff is wonderful.

    My experience at Pro Therapy was phenomenal! Grace listened to my issues and I felt like she really cared that I get relief from my bursitis in my right hip. By targeting the area of concern with very specific exercises and doing a few dry needling sessions, she significantly reduced my hip pain in only 6 weeks! I will definitely be recommending Pro Therapy to anyone I know that needs any kind of physical therapy! Thank you!!

    I had a great experience at PRO therapy. It’s a great mix of body work and exercise. It isn’t “a printout of your exercises and come back in two weeks” place. You do all the exercises in the gym with them each session so you know the correct form and how to do them on your own. I have really improved in my strength and my day to day pain has significantly reduced over my time there. My main PT was Dr. Kelvyn and he was great to work with. Very supportive and encouraging. He met me where I was at and didn’t make me feel bad if I couldn’t complete something. If I wanted to be seen but couldn’t get onto his schedule, I saw one of the other PTs and they were all equally great. It was seamless to work with someone else for the day. Jen and the other front desk staff were always very friendly and very helpful. I would highly recommend getting your physical therapy done here.

    My experience with Grace was wonderful. I saw her for pelvic floor therapy and some general physical therapy and hip mobility. She listened very well to my concerns, was very educational and helped me understand why I was doing the exercises I was doing. I would highly recommend Grace and Pro Therapy.

    Grace helped me strengthen my core to the point where my back feels so much better. She gave me excercises that I can do at home that don't require gym equipment.

    Since my treatment, pain and mobility have greatly improved. Very appreciative of all the help.

    I had two different doctors working with me and both were very good. They listen, have you try different moves, and are able to proceed to plan.

    I found PRO Therapy shortly after tearing my ACL at the beginning of the year. From the Pre-Op PT, to now 7 months post op and 50+ appointments, I could not be happier with where Dr. Kelvyn and Dr. Lily have gotten me back to. I highly recommend PRO to anyone looking for PT in the Twin Cities!
