Shoulder and Neck Pain PT Near You in Chico, CA

“Why is this happening to me? Why am I still suffering with neck and shoulder pain after putting up with it for 6 months — sometimes more?”

The pain of a nagging shoulder or neck issue never goes away. It just gets worse over time until you finally give up and accept your situation as permanent.

The most common misconception about these kinds of problems is that they'll go away by themselves, but this isn't always true — often times we don't know what else could be causing our discomfort, and then 6 months later we find ourselves still living with daily pain.

If you've had different medical advice from various professionals, it can be difficult to know where the problem lies. This often leads people into procrastinating on taking action for their own good. Even worse, many choose to simply accept whatever comes along — which can set you up for years of chronic pain.

Does That Sound Like You?

7 Reasons Your Neck & Shoulder Pain Could Be Lasting Longer Than It Should

1

You thought it would go away on it’s own – but it didn’t

2

You went to the Doctor who told you to rest and take painkillers – but the pills did nothing to help, and as soon as they wore off neck and shoulder pain struck again

3

A family member, or friend, told you that everybody gets neck and shoulder pain as they get older, so you just accepted it

4

You sought help from other Healthcare Professionals or a Physical Therapist in the past, but nothing they said or did seemed to help

5

You’ve tried using things like heating pads or TENS but they’ve done nothing to help make the pain better

6

You thought it would be a good idea to rest because your neck or shoulder pain was so bad, but it still irritates you daily

7

You decided to get a few “massages” hoping that would fix the pain, but all they did was feel nice and relaxing, and didn’t do anything to fix it long term

If any of these have happened to you, we'd love to help. The fact that you've tried these things means we know what doesn't work — which means we're closer to finding what DOES.

What Can You Do To Get Rid Of Neck & Shoulder Pain?

Well, here's 4 things you can do:

Step 1

Make a decision about getting help

It’s really easy to put off taking care of your neck and shoulder pain. You just think it will go away with time, but that almost always isn’t true. The majority of people that go this route end up coming in months later, wishing they would’ve started treatment a long time ago.

Step 2

Do the RIGHT exercises

The right exercises will help you reduce your pain, and make sure that any problems don’t come back.

Step 3

Avoid sitting and sleeping in awkward positions

One of the worst things we can do is sit or sleep in improper positions. With appropriate strengthening exercises for better posture alongside hands-on treatment, you’ll be well on your way to getting back into shape FAST!

Step 4

Get real, “hands-on” Physical Therapy
