Neck Injury Treatment in Spokane Metro Area

Many people experience neck pain at some point in their life. Neck pain can be a constant nag or a debilitating injury. The neck is composed of 7 vertebrae, muscles, ligaments, and cervical nerves that are constantly supporting the head. Any imbalance of this structure can cause serious pain. Pain in the neck is often due to inflammation caused by activities or sudden movements. “Whiplash” injuries in which the head suddenly flexes/extends are among the most common injuries sustained during car accidents. Other causes for neck pain can include but are not limited to falls, overuse, poor positioning during sleep, improper exercise technique, and poor prolonged posture. Physical therapy is a great method for treating both acute and chronic neck pain.
