Your neck is made up of many components, such as ligaments, tendons, and muscles. Because the neck has an extensive range of motion, it is susceptible to many injuries and painful conditions. In addition, the neck’s ability to function properly is directly tied to many other muscle groups, like the shoulder, back, and chest.
Additionally, if neck pain is left untreated, it can become chronic. Chronic neck pain can present itself as pain, stiffness, and soreness in the neck, perhaps with decreased mobility, that lasts more than several weeks.
One of the most common causes of neck pain is injury to the soft tissues, including the neck muscles, tendons, and ligaments within these structures. Individuals who spend most of their day sitting at work, or doing sedentary activities, have a high-risk factor for developing this condition. The risk is increased especially high for those who sit in poor posture, with the head in a flexed forward position.
In addition to muscle strains and sprains, several other common neck pain causes, such as herniated discs, Osteoarthritis (developing from the wear and tear of cartilage and bones), as well as rheumatoid arthritis. In some cases, this condition may also be caused by an injury to the cervical spine, cervical disc degeneration disease, or other injuries that put pressure on the nerve roots.
Symptoms may include:
Recurring neck pain can not only affect other parts of your body, but other aspects of your life. It can influence your sleeping habits, your ability to work, and even your mental wellbeing. People with severe chronic pain are more likely to have other areas of their life affected, such as social activities, and may spend excessive amounts of money seeking various treatments.
Traditional neck pain treatment may include over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), massages, or some form of physical therapy. A physical therapist might use several methods to treat neck pain such as heat, ice, or braces.
More severe cases may require steroid injections. If worse comes to worst, surgery may be recommended by your doctor to correct severe neck pain or injuries, especially those that may be spine related.
Chronic neck pain can be debilitating and hinder your quality of life. Airrosti providers are trained to evaluate and identify the cause of your pain. They also create a customized treatment plan to help you start on the road to neck pain relief.

I was in pain almost every day in my neck area, as an active person it was hard for me to do my every day activities I enjoyed. After my first session with Dr. Raabe I noticed a difference and the pain was almost gone. Dr. Raabe was very helpful and understanding. After several treatments I am not back to doing what I enjoy and staying active. Overall, I had a great experience and I highly recommend using Dr. Raabe for any pain or injury.

I was in tremendous pain from my neck where I could barely lift my left arm, and with less than 8 sessions he resolved my issues. Dr. Garza’s treatments were targeted, and effective. His consultative approach and recommended exercises were customized to my condition. I highly recommend his practice to anyone needing relief from muscle pain.

Dr. Trimmier, Julie & Drew seriously transformed the way I feel. My neck & shoulder pain was excruciating when I first came and literally I felt almost instant relief after my 1st session. Dr. Trimmier & the team listened to my concerns, gave me great instructions for my at-home exercises & informed me every step of the way during our sessions together. If you have pain I highly recommend Airrosti they are knowledgeable & lead with compassion!

Dr. Garza really helped with some neck/upper back pain and tension. My migraines have been lessened, and I can move my head and neck way more now too. I like that the treatment includes exercises that you can do as for as long as you want, so the maintenance is more sustainable long-term. He's very professional and his office is nice and comfortable. He's also very prompt. There was never more than a one or two-minute wait.

I have been having a lot of pain in my neck down through my shoulders and in my hips. I work with a couple of ladies that went to Dr. Olds and they both had wonderful experiences. I of course put off going until I could hardly turn my neck. I made an appointment and on that first visit Dr. Olds explained everything and what he would be doing. He listened and took thorough notes and after that first visit, I could tell this was something that was going to work. It did hurt just like he said it would but it was one of those good hurts. Dr. Olds' bedside manner is awesome and his conversation took your mind off of some of the pain. He would discuss everything that was going on and explained it perfectly. I would definitely recommend Dr. Old...+ show mores if you are having pain. They work on so many areas and really know their stuff. His assistant, Lynda, was awesome as well and explained the stretching and exercises to keep you feeling great. Thank you so very much, Dr. Olds. I feel better than I have in quite a while.
