“Why Is This Happening To Me?” Or, “Why Am I Still Suffering With Neck And Shoulder Pain After Putting Up With It For 6 Months - Sometimes More?”
Does That Sound Like You?
Has That Ever Happened To You?
Is This How You Feel?
If You’re Currently Living With Neck And Or Shoulder Pain, Here’s 7 More Reasons Why It Could Be Lasting Longer Than It Should:
1. You expected it to be gone by itself, but it didn’t.
2. You visited a doctor, who advised you to take painkillers and rest, but the drugs had no effect, and as soon as they wore off, your neck and shoulder discomfort returned.
3. You simply accepted the fact that everyone experiences neck and shoulder pain as they age after hearing from a family member or acquaintance.
4. You have previously sought assistance from other healthcare professionals or a physical therapist, but nothing they advised or did appeared to be of use.
5. You’ve tried utilizing heating pads or TENS to relieve the pain, but they were ineffective.
6. Your neck or shoulder pain was so acute that you felt it would be a good idea to relax, but it still aggravates you on a regular basis.
7. You made the decision to get a couple “massages” in the hopes that they would help the pain, but all they did was make you feel good and relaxed and did nothing to alleviate it permanently.
If any of these things have happened to you, we would be happy to assist you and invite you to schedule a conversation with one of our physical therapists to discuss your situation and learn what may be done to help. You having tried some or all of them means that we now know what doesn’t work, bringing us one step closer to discovering what DOES.

The next question that is frequently posed to us is this:
“What Can You Do To Get Rid Of Neck/Shoulder Pain?”...
You must decide whether to seek assistance in the first place. Many people put off treating their neck and shoulder discomfort for so long because they believe it will “simply go away with time,” but after six months they are still suffering from it and nothing has changed—if anything, it has become worse.
Next, perform the RIGHT exercises. One of the greatest ways to relieve neck and/or shoulder discomfort is to perform the right sequence of progressive exercises. The correct exercises will help you minimize pain, restore your range of motion quickly, and ensure that the issues don’t recur anytime soon.
Avert uncomfortable sleeping and sitting situations. Ever had a stiff neck when you woke up? Or perhaps you had stiffness in your shoulders after a long day of sitting? That’s because poor posture when sitting and uncomfortable sleeping postures are two of the worst things you can do to aggravate neck and/or shoulder pain. To get you moving and healthy as soon as possible, it would definitely help if you were given the proper strengthening exercises for better posture in addition to hands-on treatment.
Get real, “hands-on” physical therapy. Physical therapy has been shown to be effective in treating shoulder and neck pain. In fact, it’s one of the most prevalent problems we see at Active Physical Therapy. Physiotherapy can help you return to living the life you deserve as soon as possible if your neck and/or shoulder pain is interfering with your ability to do your job, if tightness or tension in your shoulders is keeping you up at night, if it prevents you from staying active, or if it threatens your independence.
