Physical Therapy for Neck Pain

Personalized physical therapy to reduce neck pain, improve mobility, and restore strength so you can move comfortably and get back to everyday activities.

About Neck Pain

Neck pain can affect everything from turning your head and working at a computer to driving, sleeping, and exercising. At Impact Physical Therapy, we look at your neck, shoulders, upper back, posture, strength, and mobility to identify what’s contributing to your pain and create a treatment plan built around you.

Neck pain can make turning your head, working, driving, sleeping, or exercising uncomfortable. It may result from injury, muscle tension, poor posture, limited mobility, weakness, or irritation of the joints, discs, and nerves in the neck. Because the neck works closely with the shoulders, upper back, and surrounding muscles, your Doctor of Physical Therapy evaluates the entire movement system to identify what is contributing to your symptoms and create a personalized treatment plan.

Dr. Eric has totally changed my life and totally changed my perspective. When he says you’re going to be here for an hour, he really works with you for an hour.

Bill

They really work with you to get you better and that community feel is what I always look for in businesses.

Justin

I started coming in only when I was getting hurt. Then I noticed if I came in for prevention, that was the game changer.

Chris

I have been coming here for a month now and my life has changed. They have taught me so much about not being afraid to move and learning how to move.

Connie

It’s so nice that you are one-on-one with a physical therapist and are getting 100% attention from them.

Diane

I did my first ever marathon and my piriformis was killing me. It was hurting with every step. We did cupping, dry needling, and manual work. Standing here right now I feel like honestly, I could run again!

Dr. Elmquist

The reason I enjoy coming to Impact Physical Therapy is that the treatments that you receive here are going to be one-on-one whether or not you come for 30 or 60 minutes.

Nick

Dr. Sarah has excellent communication skills. She was able to listen to me well enough to know where exactly where my greatest pain was.

Marjorie

After one session at Impact, I already felt better than after the months of physical therapy I was doing in San Francisco.
