Back Pain Physical Therapy Portland, OR

Your Local Back and Neck Pain Clinic

About 80 percent of people will experience significant back or neck pain in their lifetime. If you are seeking professional back pain physical therapy in Portland, OR, our team at Whole Body Health is here to help you return to your active lifestyle. At our back and neck pain clinic, we treat everything from sudden sports injuries to chronic "tech neck."

Those bouts don’t include minor incidents like the occasional twinge, but instead the serious sprains, strains, spasms and impaired range of motion problems that make it so hard to function.

In some cases, the causes of your back and neck pain may be obvious -- if you’ve recently been in a car accident or suffered a sports injury, for example. Often, however, problems can develop through poor posture or from having to perform the same action repeatedly. In addition, if you’re often obliged to spend too much time at your desk or in the car and not enough time being active, the resulting muscle weakness can add to the problem.

Comprehensive Neck Pain Treatment

Patients who seek back and neck pain treatment for pain relief are often surprised to learn that some other problems they’ve been experiencing might be related. So even if you think you can "live with" not being able to turn your neck fully, other problems can accumulate.

For example, if you have chronic migraines or frequent bouts of tension headaches, a pinched nerve in your neck may actually be the culprit, rather than your diet or your busy schedule. In addition, you may find that the problems you’ve been having with shoulder mobility -- or shooting pains down your arms and hands -- might actually spring from your spinal issues.
