Neck Pain

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

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.

    Highly recommend Lily Anderson! I'm a runner and I've done *a lot* of physical therapy at a lot of different practices. PRO Therapy stands apart because of how easy it is to schedule appointments compared to larger health systems. Lily is also always accessible by email and, unlike PTs I've had at larger health systems, always responded to my emails promptly and with substantive advice. I appreciate Lily's strength focused approach and targeted use of manual therapies, and how she made sure to inquire about adequate fueling and other injury risk factors. While I hope I won't be back soon, as a runner I know I'll need PT help again at some point. When I do, I won't hesitate to go back to Lily at PRO Therapy.

    I cannot recommend Lilly highly enough! After experiencing significant shoulder pain following an injury, I was unsure how to find relief. From the very first session, Lilly's expertise and compassionate approach made all the difference.

    She took the time to thoroughly assess my condition and developed a tailored treatment plan that addressed my specific needs. Throughout our sessions, Lilly was incredibly patient and supportive, guiding me through each exercise and explaining their purpose. Her knowledge of anatomy and rehabilitation techniques is impressive, and she always ensured I felt comfortable and confident in my progress.

    Thanks to her dedication and encouragement, I have significantly improved my strength and mobility. Lilly truly cares about her patients, and it shows in her work. If you're looking for a skilled and attentive physical therapist, I highly recommend Lilly. She has truly changed my life!

    Thank you, Lilly, for your help.

    I was referred to PRO Therapy by my chiropractor. I was in desperate need of a good PT after very minimal mediocre treatment at another well known clinic. My first visit I knew my experience would be different with PRO Therapy. There was adequate time to share the history following my knee injury and I felt like I was taken seriously. Dr. Spahr formulated a plan that I was comfortable with and we were off. He made it clear that he wanted to see if we could truly heal the knee without another cortisone injection. I love that I felt included in my treatment plan and am always asked if I have questions about what we’re doing. Dr. Spahr is very good at what he does, he’s super knowledgeable for sure! He has a very good and natural ability to meet you where you’re at and moving at a pace that works for your body. My knee issues are resolving at a remarkable pace without another cortisone injection! When I started with PRO Therapy, I thought at the end of it all I would likely need another injection but that’s not the case at all. I would absolutely recommend you give PRO Therapy a try if you’re considering. I’ve referred my husband and can’t wait to see what kind of results he will have. Thanks Dr. Spahr!

    Everyone was nice, positive, really helpful and the stuff they do really helps! I appreciate you all and can't wait to keep coming back!! Thanks again

    As a chiropractor, I've explored various treatments for my persistent knee pain, but Stimwave therapy at ProTherapy has been the most effective. The team was knowledgeable, professional, and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. Since starting treatment, my knee pain has improved significantly and the constant ache I was having is gone.

    Would recommend and would return for future needs. Dr. Lily was a great listener and tailored her approach to my needs, reassessing each time to make sure I was progressing and my overall goals were met. I also received weekly emails with my plan and left treatment with an overall plan to sustain my improvements. If you’re having pain, soreness, lack of mobility, etc. this will help.

    I had six sessions with Kelvyn at PRO Therapy to ease the pain and lack of mobility in my neck and my right rotator cuff. I was afraid of losing even more mobility. Through exercises, stretching and massage, I gained mobility. Pain and discomfort noticeably lessened. Kelvyn is great! Highly recommended.
