Neck and Back Pain

Neck and back pain are two of the most common—and most disruptive—issues we see in our clinic. At Access Physical Therapy, we take a hands-on, personalized approach to uncover the root cause of your pain and help you regain comfort, strength, and confidence in your body.

What It Is

Pain in the neck or back can stem from a variety of sources, including:

  • Muscle strain or tension

  • Disc issues (herniation or degeneration)

  • Spinal misalignment

  • Joint dysfunction

  • Poor posture or repetitive stress

  • Nerve irritation or compression (e.g. sciatica or pinched nerves)

Whether your pain is sharp and sudden or dull and persistent, we create a care plan built around your specific condition and goals.

What to Expect

Your treatment may include:

  • Manual therapy and soft tissue release to reduce tension

  • Spinal mobilization techniques to restore healthy movement

  • Postural training and ergonomic guidance

  • Core and spinal stabilization exercises

  • Education on safe movement, lifting, and sleeping habits

  • Gentle stretching and strengthening routines tailored to your needs

Our therapists work with you to reduce flare-ups, avoid surgery when possible, and build a long-term foundation for spinal health.

Who It’s For

  • Individuals with acute or chronic neck/back pain

  • Office workers dealing with posture-related tension

  • Patients recovering from spinal injuries or surgery

  • Those experiencing radiating pain, numbness, or stiffness

  • Anyone seeking natural, non-invasive solutions to spinal pain

Why It Matters

Neck and back pain can interfere with nearly every part of your day—work, sleep, exercise, and more. With expert-guided physical therapy, most patients experience significant relief, restored motion, and long-term improvements in strength and stability.
