Neck Pain & Shoulder Pain
Discover How to Stop Neck & Shoulder Pain Without
Medication, Injections, or Risking Surgery!
When it comes to living with shoulder or neck pain, here’s what everybody we see wants to know …
"I don't understand, why am I in pain?
or
"I've been dealing with neck and/or shoulder pain for months (maybe more), and it keeps getting worse - why am I still suffering from this?"
Lots of people think that their neck or shoulder pain will go away on its own.
They hope that they wake up one morning, and the pain will be a thing of the past. But then 6 months later, you’re still living with constant neck and shoulder pain, and it’s often even worse than when it first started.
Does that sound familiar?
Another situation we hear about all the time in our physical therapy clinic is how a patient’s Doctor told them to “take painkillers” and “take it easy.”
Then they end up going back to the doctor a few weeks later because it hasn’t gotten any better. Often the next course of action is a prescription for STRONGER pain pills and recommendation to go see a surgeon.
Has That Ever Happened To You?
It’s not your fault. Maybe you’re confused because you’ve been told different things by a bunch of different people. Maybe you think you have a neck problem – but did you know it could actually be your shoulder that’s causing the issue. The reverse could also be true. A shoulder problem that’s actually being caused by something going on in your neck. That’s just how the human body works.
It can be very confusing to know exactly what to do. This often leads to people to procrastinate and delay making a decision about what to do to help fix their neck or shoulder pain. What’s worse is that many people begin accepting their situation as “normal” because “it’s just part of my life now; not much I can do” or “this just happens because I have a very active lifestyle and I’m getting older.”
Do You Feel That Way?
If You’re Living With Neck And/Or Shoulder Pain, Here’s 7 More Reasons Why It Might Be Lasting Longer Than It Should:
- 1. You thought the pain would eventually go away by itself - but it didn't
- 2. You went to the doctor, sometimes even more than one, only to be told to "rest" and "take some painkillers." But the pills didn't help your neck or shoulder pain, and as soon as they wore off, you were back in pain.
- 3. You went to a "specialist" who recommended steroid injections or surgery.
- 4. You have been told by friends or family that "we all get pain as we get older." This made it easy to accept that there isn't anything you can do about it.
- 5. You went to a physical therapist only to be put on a bunch of different machines. The therapist would then spend 5-10 minutes, showing you some simple exercises and then handed you a sheet of paper with more exercises to do at home. All of this did nothing to ease your pain quickly, if at all.
- 6. You went on Youtube or Google to find exercises for your neck and/or shoulder pain, but they either didn't do anything or made the pain worse.
- 7. You tried getting a couple "massages" which felt nice and relieved the pain a little. But then the pain came back and the "massages" didn't fix the problem long term.

"What Can I Do To Get Rid Of My Neck/Shoulder Pain Quickly?"
Well, here’s 4 things you can do:
- The first thing is that you need to make a decision about getting help. There so many people that rest and “take it easy” for weeks because they think that neck or shoulder pain will “go away on its own given enough time.” But then 6 months later nothing has changed, or it got worse.
- Do the RIGHT exercises – one of the best things to help relieve your neck or shoulder pain is to do the right types of stretches and progressive exercises given to you by a Physical Therapist. Doing the wrong exercises can aggravate your issue even more, so you have to be careful where you’re getting advice from. The specific exercises given to you by a physical therapist will help reduce pain get you back to your active life – quickly. The right exercise plan will also help make sure the problems don’t come back anytime soon.
- Avoid sitting and sleeping in weird positions – Have you gotten up in the morning and had a sore or painful neck? Or how about after a long day where you spent most of it sitting – did you have tightness or pain in your shoulders? The reason for that is because sleeping or sitting with bad posture or in an awkward position can contribute alot to neck and shoulder pain. Doing the right strengthening exercises, stretches, and getting hands-on treatment can help you get rid of the pain for good and get active again. It’ll also help you feel a lot more comfortable on those days when you do want to hang out on the couch.
- You need to get real, “hands-on” Physical Therapy treatment. Physical Therapy is proven to help people with neck or shoulder pain.
