Is Neck Pain Causing You Discomfort? Physical Therapy at First Rehabilitation in North Palm Beach, FL Can Offer Neck Pain Relief
Physical Therapy Can Help Relieve That Pain in Your Neck!
According to the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), approximately one-third of the population will experience neck pain in any given year. It can get worse if left untreated, and in severe cases, surgery may even be needed. Fortunately, many people are able to find neck pain relief every year through the help of physical therapy.
​
Your neck is an integral area of everyday movement, and sharp pains can prevent you from functioning properly in your day-to-day life. It also causes debilitating and extremely uncomfortable sensations, especially if the pain stretches from your neck down to your shoulders.
​
Whether your pain shows itself as difficulty when trying to sit up straight in your chair at work or tilting your head down to tie your shoes, physical therapy can help get you back to a normal, pain-free function.
​
Our North Palm Beach, FL physical therapy practice is dedicated to providing you with the relief you need. Request your appointment to get started on the first steps toward recovery.

At First Rehabilitation, our physical therapists will conduct an initial physical evaluation to analyze the range of motion in your neck, as well as any limitations you have due to your pain to help find neck pain relief.
​
Next, they’ll make a diagnosis that will determine the make-up of your treatment plan. Together you will work to understand the goals and expectations of each step in your individualized treatment plan, with the main focus being overcoming pain and recovering as quickly as possible. If they need to speak with your doctor about your treatment, they will do that as well.
