Is Your Neck in Knots?

Does work have your neck in knots? Neck pain on the side near the top of the shoulder is annoying to say the least. It screams at you just when you settle in at your desk. The only thing that keeps you going is a rotation of different pain medications. Getting that next job done is a priority so you’ll just have to live with it for now.

Pain in the side of the neck and upper shoulder is typically from a muscular “knot” or trigger point. A trigger point is a malfunctioning area of muscle that is contracted and balled up. Massage, heat, stretching, and exercise all help but never really make it go away. I have treated trigger points that were painful for over 10 years and pain-free within 1-2 visits.

Warroad Physical Therapy uses precise highly effective treatments to trigger your body to heal the injured tissue which allows the muscle knot to “melt” or relax. The muscle can immediately contract and relax which means you are instantaneously stronger. We use a very thin needle to pierce the muscular knot in a treatment called dry needling. Nothing is injected into your body. Your body is stimulated to heal and restore the tissue just as it was designed to do.

Warroad Physical Therapy leads the area with the best conservative treatments to get you on the road to recovery…for good! We implement treatments to trigger the right kind of inflammation so you can get your next job done pain-free and able to focus.

You don’t have to live with neck pain for weeks, months or years. Warroad Physical Therapy is here to serve you today!
