An Alternative to Wait and See for Neck Pain

Benefits of Getting Early Physical Therapy and Neck Pain

Like many initial aches and pains we often take a wait and see approach to determine if the pain will go away. Life gets busy and by the time we make the decision to seek assistance some time has passed. A recent study has found that wait and see may not be the best approach. According to researchers individuals with neck pain that seek early PT, defined as within 4 weeks of onset, were twice as likely to feel significantly with treatment as compared to those that waited for more than 4 weeks. Additionally those that sought early PT were 1.8 times more likely to feel a significant reduction in their pain. Don’t wait and see, seek early PT services.
