“My shoulder hurts when I dress in the morning or have to reach behind me to tuck my shirt in.”
“I notice that my neck is killing me after just 15 minutes of computer work.”
“I can’t turn my head when driving without my neck hurting.”

Causes of Neck and Shoulder Pain
Neck and shoulder pain have a variety of causes, but here at Bull City Physical Therapy, we’re familiar with all cases! Some people may experience only neck or shoulder pain, or both for related reasons.
1. Trauma from sports or other activities
2. Abnormalities in the bone or joints
3. Poor posture or extensive computer work
4. Degenerative diseases
5. Muscle strain
6. Sleep-related
Shoulder pain is very common, since the shoulder is a ball and socket joint with a wide range of motion that can be very easily overextended. Shoulder pain can be caused by one or more of the following:
1. Straining from overexertion in lifting
2. Tendonitis or inflammation from overuse
3. Shoulder dislocation from trauma
4. Collar or upper arm bone injury/fracture
5. Pinched nerves
6. Rotator cuff injury
Common scenarios we hear from patients who have neck and shoulder pain for any of the above reasons:
1. Your pain used to go away on its own, but now it bothers you all the time.
2. You have tried rest and massages, but the pain still insists on returning.
3. You consulted a doctor and were provided pain medication, but it doesn’t work anymore and your pain is worse than before.
4. Heat and ice no longer help, or only give temporary relief.
5. You are convinced the pain you’re experiencing is something you’ll have to live with for the rest of your life.

What can I do right now to help my pain?
1. The BENEFICIAL Exercises - Not ALL Exercises
Different exercises address different areas. You need to know what the RIGHT exercises are based on your specific symptoms. Your body is unique and it takes specific exercises to fix your issues.
2. Make the decision to seek help
Waiting and thinking that the pain will subside might work occasionally, but as a general rule - the longer the symptoms are present for, the longer it takes to find relief. What advice would future "you" tell you if this pain is still present 3 months down the road?
3. Passive Treatments
These are defined as interventions where you, as the patient, aren't doing anything. This involves ice/heat, stretching, massage, and dry needling. While these interventions can be beneficial, the specific stretch or right dosage is the most important part and that's unique to your specific symptoms. This makes seeking help even more important!
4. Receive EXPERT help, not just generalized approaches
If you've experienced previous treatment that felt bland and nonspecific, then you're not alone. Unfortunately, this is all too common in almost every profession in the world today. You need targeted, hands on approaches that are focused on your specific needs. Physical therapy has been proven to be successful in treating back pain so don't wait.
