Neck Pain Relief

Why does my neck hurt?

Neck pain has a variety of underlying causes and can significantly impact daily life. The leading causes of neck pain in Lakeway, TX that are treated at Helix Physical Therapy & Chiropractic include the following:

  • Poor Postural Habits: Poor posture (i.e., slouching or hunching the shoulders) can put excessive strain on the muscles, ligaments, and vertebrae in the neck. This continuous tension can lead to muscle fatigue, stiffness, and even structural changes in the spine, resulting in neck pain.
    Poor postural habits often develop due to sedentary lifestyles, improper ergonomics, or lack of awareness of correct body alignment during daily activities.
  • Muscle Strain: Muscle strain, also known as a pulled muscle, occurs when muscle fibers are overstretched or torn due to overuse, fatigue, or excessive force.
    Muscle strains often result from activities requiring extended periods of looking down or holding the head in an awkward position, such as using a smartphone, working on a computer, or reading. The strain on the neck muscles can cause discomfort, stiffness, and a reduced range of motion, leading to neck pain.
  • Degenerative Disc Disease: Degenerative disc disease (DDD) refers to the natural wear and tear of the spinal discs due to aging. Over time, the discs lose their flexibility, elasticity, and ability to absorb shock, leading to reduced disc height and the formation of bone spurs.
    As DDD progresses, it can cause increased pressure on the spinal joints, nerves, and muscles, contributing to neck pain, stiffness, and restricted mobility.
  • Whiplash: Whiplash is a neck injury that occurs when the head is suddenly and forcefully jerked backward and forward, causing the neck to move beyond its normal range of motion. This rapid movement can strain and tear the neck muscles and ligaments, leading to neck pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion.
    Whiplash is commonly associated with car accidents, specifically rear-end collisions, but can also result from sports injuries or falls.
  • Bulging or herniated discs: A bulging disc occurs when the disc’s outer layer protrudes beyond its normal boundaries. In contrast, a herniated disc happens when the inner gel-like substance leaks out through a tear in the outer layer.
    Both conditions can cause pressure on nearby nerves, leading to neck pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the neck, shoulders, or arms. Factors such as age-related degeneration, injury, or excessive strain on the neck can contribute to bulging or herniated discs.

I came to Jimmy 9 months out of ACL surgery after what I would describe as very mediocre PT at a different facility for the majority of my rehab process.

I was in a bad car wreck over a decade ago which caused me to fracture vertebrae’s in my lower back.

I took a chance on Dr. Jimmy Rowland cause I was hearing…

Jimmy and Jordan have helped me tremendously during my offseason with my baseball training and rehab. Any injury I have had they had put 100% of their time and effort into getting me back out there to perform at my best. They know their stuff and are great humans too!
