OVERVIEW
Neck pain is one of the most common things we treat. It can be as simple as waking up with a crick that hangs around for a week. It can also be stiffness that’s been building for years, until you can barely turn your head to back out of the driveway. Some people come in because of the headaches. Others come in because their hand has started to tingle, and that worries them. There isn’t always one cause. Desk work plays a big part, and so do old car accidents and plain wear and tear as we get older. We start with care that doesn’t involve surgery, and most people do well with it.
BOOKING APPOINTMENTS
Booking is easy. You can call us during the day or fill out the form on our website, and we’ll call you back. Bring any neck imaging you’ve had done before.

Let us know which days are best for you when you call. We’ll try to get you in soon so the pain doesn’t drag on longer than it has to.
DIAGNOSE
EXAM & IMAGING
Your first visit starts with a talk about the pain and how long it’s been there. Then we’ll check your posture, see how far your head turns in each direction, and test your arms for weakness or numbness. We only order imaging when it will change what we do.
TREATMENTS
CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM
Most treatment plans mix hands-on work with exercise. The hands-on part eases stiff joints and sore muscles, and the exercises build up the small muscles in the front of the neck that tend to get weak. We’ll also suggest a few changes at your desk or in how you sleep.
FOLLOW UP
WE CALL TO CHECK IN
Every few visits, we’ll recheck how your neck moves and how often it hurts. Once you’re doing well, we’ll space out the appointments and give you a short home routine to keep it that way.

This place is great! They offer ultrasound to diagnose. After my ultrasound they set me up with a plan to get better. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable! Highly recommend going here!

I had awesome physical therapy at Modern PT. After tearing my bicep tendon, I needed help and I got it. It is easy to schedule appointments and always on time. Amber, scheduling, Taylor, PT and Nathan…

Modern Physical therapy helped me so much and I would recommend them to anyone who needs Physical therapy. I had a sharp pain in my right hip. The first visit, after having a detailed conversation and assessment, including an ultrasound to really see what the problem is, Brianne was able to focus on the exact area. I had 12 sessions and I am feeling so much better. My right hip doesn’t have the sharp pain it had previously. She gave me a home exercise program to continue doing on my own so I can continue strengthening the muscles I need to so this problem doesn’t happen again. The staff is so kind and friendly – I always felt comfortable there and cared about!

What Are You Experiencing?
Pain is difficult to articulate, and you don’t need to have the “right” words. Just tell us how you have been feeling it. Use the brief form to tell us in your own words like sharp, dull, or won’t stop. We will then contact you so that we can talk a little bit about what might be happening and how we may be able to help.
LOW HIGH
SEVERE PAIN
If the pain is intolerable, don’t wait. Call 911 or go straight to the hospital. Safety is foremost. Then, after addressing that, we’ll be able to assist you in the next steps toward comfort.
MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT
This kind of pain is not going to keep you from doing things, but it makes daily life difficult. Maybe it hits in bursts, maybe it is always there. Describe it as best you can. That’s all we need in order to start to understand what is happening.
MINOR PAINS & ACHES
Even small aches matter. That morning stiffness in your lower back, muscle aches in your legs after a day, or that pesky spot you’ve been ignoring. Those are things we want to talk about. Tell us what you’ve been feeling, and we’ll do our best to get ahead of it.

Answering Your Questions
Is it bad that I crack my neck all the time?
Not usually. That popping sound is mostly gas moving around in the joint. If you feel like you have to crack it all day to get relief, though, the joint is probably stiff, and that’s something we can work on.
My headaches seem to start in my neck. Is that a real thing?
It’s real, and we see it a lot. People tell us the headache starts at the base of the skull and creeps up from there. Once we loosen up the top of the neck, those headaches usually come around less often.
Why does my hand go numb if the problem is in my neck?
The nerves for your arm and hand start in your neck. If one gets squeezed up there, you might feel it in your fingers before you feel it in your neck. We’ll test your grip and reflexes to sort out which nerve it is.
Should I sleep without a pillow?
We wouldn’t go that far. Most people do better with a pillow that keeps the head level with the rest of the spine. If you sleep on your side, you probably need a thicker one than you think.
Do I have to keep coming in forever?
No. Most people come in for a few weeks, and then we start spacing things out. We want to get you to the point where a short home routine keeps the pain away.
