OVERVIEW
Neck pain doesn’t always start where you’d expect. For some people it’s the ache that builds while they’re stuck in a long meeting, staring at slides. For others it’s a sharp catch when they turn to check on the kids in the back seat. Headaches are common with it, especially the kind that start at the base of the skull. So is tingling in the hand. We see a lot of arthritis, disc trouble, and whiplash, but plenty of it is just years of hunching over a laptop. Most people get better without surgery.
BOOKING APPOINTMENTS
You can call the front desk or book online, whichever is easier for you. If your arm feels weak or you keep dropping things, mention it, since that’s something we want to see soon.

REQUEST AN APPOINTMENT
Twice a week is normal in the beginning. Later you’ll come in less, once the neck is moving better and you’ve got the home exercises down.
DIAGNOSE
EXAM & IMAGING
You’ll turn your head for us, and we’ll see how far it goes before it hurts. We also squeeze-test your grip and check your reflexes to see if a nerve is involved.
TREATMENTS
CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM
Expect some hands-on work and a few simple exercises, mostly chin tucks and upper back moves. We’ll ask about your desk and your pillow too, because those matter.
FOLLOW UP
WE CALL TO CHECK IN
As you get better, we’ll check your motion and strength again and move you toward exercises you can do on your own. You’ll leave knowing what to do if the neck starts to tighten up down the road.

Eric and his staff were awesome. I'm 71 years old and still very athletic. They did a fantastic job getting me back to the sports I love. I think they are the best physical therapy place in Phoenix

These people are wonderful. I had A fall down some stairs and had trouble with movement in my right knee. Hey they did a complete evaluation and then came up with a plan that worked me hard enough for progress but didn’t leave me sore. I started being able to bend my knee 90 degrees and after five weeks we were at 115 degrees! I highly recommend their friendly knowledgeable staff.

What Are You Experiencing?
You might not know what treatment you need, as most people don’t. What you do know is that something hurts. That’s enough for us to start. Fill out this quick form and just tell us how it feels. We’ll look it over and reach out to talk through what could be going on and what might help.
LOW HIGH
SEVERE PAIN
If your pain feels like too much to handle, please don’t wait around. Call 911 or get to the nearest hospital. Once the emergency part is taken care of, we’ll be here to help you with longer-term support.
MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT
Maybe it’s not stopping you from getting through the day, but it’s always there feeling sharp, dull, or just plain annoying. Let us know what it feels like. We’ll work with you to figure out why it’s happening and how to make things easier.
MINOR PAINS & ACHES
A little soreness or stiffness might not sound like much, but it can still mess with your day. Those small aches are often your body’s way of saying something needs attention. Tell us what you’ve been noticing, and we’ll help keep it from turning into something worse.

Answering Your Questions
Can stress make my neck pain worse?
It often does. Watch your shoulders the next time you’re stuck in traffic or answering a pile of emails, because they probably creep up toward your ears. Hold that for hours a day and the neck muscles stay sore.
Is it safe to crack my own neck?
An occasional pop isn’t usually a problem, but forcing it over and over isn’t a good idea. That urge to crack it a dozen times a day usually means a few joints aren’t moving much, so the ones around them move too much. We’d rather get the stiff ones going so you stop feeling like you need to.
Do I need an MRI for neck pain?
Most people don’t. An MRI makes more sense if you have arm weakness, numbness that won’t go away, or pain that isn’t improving with treatment. We’ll let you know if it’s needed.
Can neck pain cause shoulder pain?
Yes, and people mix the two up all the time. A pinched nerve in the neck can make the top of your shoulder ache even though the shoulder itself is fine. That’s why we look at both.
What can I do at home between visits?
Try a few chin tucks every time you get up for coffee. Set a reminder to stand up from the screen every half hour, and put a warm towel on your neck in the evening if it’s tight. We’ll give you a short home routine that fits your situation.
