Physical therapy for neck arthritis in Plainwell, MI

Arthritis can be a pain in the neck, literally. When joints between the cervical vertebrae become damaged, whether due to an injury or erosion, cervical arthritis develops. This can happen due to age or injury. Neck arthritis leads to a loss in mobility, muscle weakness, numbness, stiffness, chronic pain, headaches and even loss of balance. To combat arthritis pain, it is important to improve flexibility, range of motion and the strength of neck muscles. A certified and experienced physical therapist will help you accomplish all three through targeted exercises and steps to improve your posture throughout the day.
