Source of Neck Pain: Causes and Symptoms
Neck pain is a multifaceted condition, and its origins can vary widely from person to person. What may appear to be a minor issue, such as a recurring crick in your neck, could potentially develop into a chronic issue that disrupts your daily life.
Here are some of the more common causes of neck pain:
- Soft Tissue Injuries: Damage to the muscles, tendons, or ligaments in the neck can cause symptoms. Acute neck injuries often develop after car accidents (i.e., whiplash injuries).
Improper Posture: Prolonged sitting can also strain the neck joint, causing small damage to the tissue that compounds over time. - Disc Degeneration: Sometimes, the issue lies deeper within the spine’s structure, such as changes to the discs (the cushions between vertebrae). This condition is often associated with aging.
- Bulging or Herniated Discs: This painful condition occurs when a spinal disc bulges or ruptures, irritating a nearby nerve. It often causes additional symptoms such as sharp, radiating pain or numbness extending into the shoulders or arms.
Luckily, our physical therapists are skilled at identifying these contributing factors and formulating an effective treatment plan tailored to alleviate your specific symptoms.

The Kinetix Team at Play
Every quarter, a team building event is scheduled. This event was a family game night inside our Arbor Greens facility. Recently, the Kinetix golf team played in the Mary Wise Golf Scramble too.
Physical Therapy: Your Pathway to Relief
We’ll start with a comprehensive evaluation and conduct a physical examination, including a hands-on assessment of your neck and upper back muscles. We’ll assess your posture and movement patterns to identify any restrictions or limitations contributing to your pain. If indicated, we can do diagnostic testing to aid in the diagnosis and personalized plan of care.
Our treatment programs are built on several key elements, all aimed at facilitating the health of your neck:
- Laser Therapy: This non-invasive technique releases light photons into your neck’s tissue, helping to reduce pain and increase circulation to the area, which can help facilitate healing.
- The NEUBIE device: assesses the root cause of muscle dysfunction and optimizes neurological function. The NEUBIE is a proprietary Pulsed Direct Current Device that has the power to identify areas of the body where there is a disconnect between the nervous system and muscles with 100% accuracy with its unique mapping capabilities.
- Posture Correction: Poor posture is a significant contributor to neck pain. Our therapists will guide you through the steps to correct your posture, effectively alleviating muscle strain on your neck and shoulders.
- Hands-on Therapy and Custom Exercises: Our expert therapists use specialized manual treatments to free up restrictions and alleviate tension in soft tissues. We’ll also develop personalized exercise routines aimed at targeting the source of your pain to improve mobility and strength.
- Ergonomic Evaluation: Our therapists will provide practical recommendations for your work and home environments that can help minimize any physical strain on your neck and shoulders. We will also introduce you to stress-minimizing methods that can be seamlessly integrated into your work life.
We are committed to working closely with you to craft effective, proactive programs to restore mobility and contribute to overall well-being.

Grilled Shrimp Tacos with Peach Salsa
Ingredients:
- 1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- Juice of 2 limes
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 large ripe peach, pitted and diced
- 1/2 small avocado, pitted and diced
- 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tsp tajin
- 1/4 tsp chili powder, divided
- olive oil spray
- 1 1/2 lbs jumbo raw shrimp, shelled & deveined (weight after peeling)
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
- 8 6-in corn tortillas
Directions:
- In a small bowl, combine the onion, juice from 1 1/2 limes, and a large pinch of salt. Toss to combine and let the mixture pickle while you prepare the other ingredients, stirring occasionally.
- In another small bowl, combine the peach, avocado, cilantro, 1/4 tsp chili powder, and the juice from the remaining lime half. Sprinkle generously with salt and toss to combine. Make sure it’s well-seasoned, then set aside.
- Preheat the grill, a grill basket or a grill pan to medium-high heat and spray with oil. Pat the shrimp dry and spray with oil. Season with 1 tsp tajin, 1/4 tsp kosher salt and cayenne pepper.
- Add the shrimp to the prepared grill and grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until the shrimp are pink and firm. Transfer the shrimp to a plate to cool while you char the tortillas on the grill, about 1 minute per side until slightly charred.
- To assemble, divide the shrimp equally among the tortillas. Top with a heaping spoonful of salsa, a few pickled onions, and serve, with lime wedges and extra pickled onions on the side.
