Neck pain affects nearly two-thirds of people at some point in their lives. Whether it's tech neck from screen time, a whiplash injury, or a cervical disc issue, physical therapy can relieve pain, restore movement, and prevent recurrence.
Common causes include cervical disc degeneration or herniation, muscle strain from posture, whiplash injuries, cervical facet joint dysfunction, thoracic outlet syndrome, and tension headaches originating from the neck. Screen posture and prolonged desk work are major contributors in today's environment.
Manual therapy to the cervical and thoracic spine provides immediate relief while correcting joint mechanics. Postural re-education, deep neck flexor strengthening, and ergonomic guidance address the root causes. We also treat cervicogenic headaches — headaches that originate from neck dysfunction.
Every neck assessment includes evaluation of posture, mobility, nerve tension, and upper back mechanics. Dr. Tabares uses a gentle, hands-on approach that is highly effective for both acute and chronic neck conditions.
Acute neck pain often responds quickly — many patients feel relief after just 2–3 sessions. Chronic cases or those with nerve involvement may require 8–12 sessions with a structured home program.
