Shoulder/Neck Pain
Everyone we chat to is curious about dealing with neck and shoulder pain, specifically:
“Why Am I Going Through This?” Why Do I Still Experience Neck and Shoulder Pain After Enduring It for at Least Six Months?
Most individuals believe that if they have neck or shoulder pain, it will go away on its own. When they awaken one morning, it will be as if nothing ever happened. However, six months later, the agony you’re still experiencing is worse than it was initially.
Do You Sound That Way?
People frequently receive advice from doctors when they see them to rest and “try these painkillers” to “see how it goes.” This is a common occurrence in our physical therapy office. When it still hasn’t improved after six weeks, they see the same doctor again, only to receive ANOTHER prescription for even more potent medication.
Have You Ever Experienced That?
Perhaps you need help with what to do because various people have given you conflicting advice. You may have a neck problem while you have a shoulder issue. It might be challenging to pinpoint the exact location of the issue in the neck and shoulders, which prevents patients from deciding what to do to alleviate their pain. Worse, many individuals simply accept it as “part of life,” as if it “has to” be that way or is expected.
Do You Feel Like This?
Here Are Seven Additional Reasons Why Neck or Shoulder Pain May Be Lingering Longer Than It Should:
- You expected it to disappear on its own, but it didn’t.
You saw a doctor, who advised you to take medicines and relax. Your neck and shoulders continued to pain after the medicines left your system. Therefore they didn’t help.
- You simply accepted that everyone experiences neck and shoulder pain as they age after hearing from a family member or acquaintance.
- You’ve previously tried to get assistance from other medical professionals or a physical therapist, but nothing they said or did seems helpful.
- You’ve tried remedies like TENS machines and heating pads, but they didn’t work.
- Your neck or shoulder pain was so acute that you felt it would be a good idea to relax, but it still aggravates you regularly.
- Despite receiving several “massages” to ease the discomfort, all they accomplished was to relax and make you feel fantastic. They did nothing to stop the discomfort permanently.
If any of these things have happened to you, we would be happy to assist you and invite you to schedule a conversation with one of our physical therapists to discuss your situation and learn what may be done to help. You have tried some or all of them means that we now know what doesn’t work, bringing us one step closer to discovering what DOES.

What Can You Do to Relieve Shoulder and Neck Pain?
You can attempt the following four things:
- First, decide whether or not to seek assistance. So many people wait to seek treatment for their neck and shoulder pain because they believe it will "go away with time." However, after six months, they're still putting up with it, and either nothing has changed, or the discomfort has gotten worse.
- Perform the RIGHT workouts. Exercises done in the proper order and progression are one of the best strategies to reduce shoulder and/or neck pain. The appropriate exercises recommended by a physical therapist will assist in reducing pain, restoring your mobility rapidly, and ensuring that the issues won't return anytime soon
- Avoid uncomfortable sitting or sleeping: Ever had a stiff neck in the morning? Or did your shoulders feel tense after a long day of sitting? That's because one of the worst things you can do for your neck or shoulders is to sit or sleep in an uncomfortable position. You would benefit greatly from being offered the appropriate exercises to strengthen your muscles for better posture and receiving hands-on care. With this, you could return to being active and healthy as soon as possible.
- Receive genuine, "hands-on" physical treatment. Physical therapy has been demonstrated to be helpful for those with neck and shoulder pain. One of the most frequent issues we deal with at Continuous Motion Physical Therapy is this. Physiotherapy can help you return to living the life you deserve as soon as possible if your neck and/or shoulder pain is interfering with your ability to perform your job, prevents you from sleeping, keeps you from staying active, threatens your independence, or prevents you from enjoying time with family and friends.
