NECK & SHOULDER PAIN TREATMENT DALLAS, TX
How To Ease Annoying, Daily, Irritating Neck and Shoulder Pain Naturally - Before It Gets Any Worse...
You can not talk about the shoulder without talking about the neck. They are so connected. And often shoulder pathologies such as Rotator Cuff Tear or bursitis and bicep tendonitis are miss diagnosed because the true source of the problem is coming from the neck or thoracic (mid) spine.
When it comes to living with Neck and Shoulder Pain, everybody we see wants to know:
“Why is this happening to me?”…
OR
“Why am I still suffering with neck and shoulder pain after putting up with it for 6 months – sometimes more?”..
Most people think that when they get Neck or Shoulder Pain, the pain is going to go away on its own. That they’ll wake up one morning and like “magic”, it’ll be as if it never happened… But then 6 months later you’re still living with nagging pain even worse than it was when it came on.
Does That Sound Like You?
Another scenario we see all the time in our physical therapy clinic is when people go to the Doctors, and the Doctor tells them to rest and “try these painkillers” to “see how it goes” – but then 6 weeks later, they end up going back to the same Doctor again because it hasn’t got any better, only to be sent to an orthopedic surgeon who only is able to spend 10 min with you to tell you we need to do an MRI to “see what is going on.” To then get even stronger medications and maybe even an injection. This path leads you down to having surgery.
** I am not sure how you can do an evaluation in 10 min to figure out what is going on, especially if you are not sure what you did to hurt in the first place.**
Plus, MRI’s are not reliable. You can take 100 people without any pain and 60-80% will show something such as arthritis or meniscus tears. These are pain free individuals, so what happens when you hurt? You guessed it. You may find something that is not your REAL problem!
Has That Ever Happened To You?
Maybe you are confused because you’ve been told different things, by different people. Maybe you think you have a shoulder problem – but it’s actually your neck where the problem is? It’s a very confusing part of the body to work out where the problem is, and this often leads people to procrastinate and put off making a decision about what to do to help fix their Neck and Shoulder pain. Worse, many people just end up just accepting it as ‘part of life’ – as if it’s normal, as if it “has” to be that way.
Is This How You Feel?
If You’re Currently Living With Neck And Or Shoulder Pain, Here’s 7 More Reasons Why It Could Be Lasting Longer Than It Should:
- You thought it would go away on it’s own - but it didn’t
- You went to the Doctor who told you to rest and take painkillers - but the pills did nothing to help, and as soon as they wore off Neck and Shoulder Pain struck again
- A family member, or friend, told you that everybody gets Neck and Shoulder pain as they get older, so you just accepted it
- You seeked help from other Healthcare Professionals or a Physio in the past, but nothing they said or did seemed to help. (they are probably focusing on the wrong problem and not getting to the source of what truly is going on- we see this all the time in our office)
- You’ve tried using things like heat pads or TENS but they’ve done nothing to help make the pain better
- You thought it would be a good idea to rest because your Neck or Shoulder pain was so bad, but it still irritates you daily
- You decided to get a few “massages” hoping that would fix the pain, but all they did was feel nice and relaxed, and didn’t do anything. The pain returned within hours to a day later. (This means the tissue is the symptoms and not the root cause of the problem).
If any of these have happened to you – we would love to help you by inviting you to book a call to talk with one of our Physical Therapists to find out what can be to help you. The fact that you’ve tried any or all of these things, means that we know what doesn’t work – which means we are closer to finding what DOES.

The next thing people ask us all the time is this:
“What Can You Do To Get Rid Of Neck/Shoulder Pain?”…
Well, here’s 4 things you can do:
First off, you need to make a decision about getting help. So many people procrastinate for so long, thinking that the pain will ‘just go away with time’, but then 6 months down the line they’re still putting up with it, and nothing’s changed… Or it gets worse. And let me tell you neck and shoulder pain is exhausting! It can be hard to think
Next, do the RIGHT exercises – one of the best things to help you ease your neck and/or shoulder pain is to do the right series of progressed exercises – the right exercises given to you by a Physical therapist will help reduce pain, and allow you to move freely again quick – and make sure that the problems don’t come back any time soon.
Avoid sitting and sleeping in awkward positions – ever woken up with a painful neck? Or, after a long day spent sitting felt tightness in your shoulders? That’s because one of the worst things you can do that adds to neck and/or shoulder pain is sitting with bad posture, and sleeping in awkward positions. It would really help if you were given appropriate progression of exercises for better posture, alongside hands-on treatment, to get you active and healthy as quickly as possible.
Get real, “hands-on” Physical Therapy – Physical Therapy is proven to help people with neck and shoulder pain. In fact at the mPower Physical Therapy it’s one of the most common issues we see. If your neck and/or shoulder pain is affecting your job, if your sleep is disturbed by tightness or tension in your shoulder, if it stops you from keeping active, or if it threatens your independence and gets in the way of spending quality time with family and friends – Physical therapy can help get you back to living the life you deserve as quickly as possible.

Testimonials on Neck and Shoulder Pain
Whether you are having problems lifting weights due to shoulder pain, or cycling, or lifting luggage overhead and you do not want to go down the surgery path and want to get to the source of your problem then this is the podcast for you.
I always say where the site of the pain is often not where the source of the problem is located and it is true for the shoulder. This client went to several other physical therapists who said they specialized in helping him get resolution but did not help. They both went and only looked at the shoulder when looking for problems, and never looked at other areas and put all the pieces of the puzzle together.
Juanita is a client like many of our clients. She tried lots of treatments and went to lots of doctors to try to get some sort of resolution for her pain.
She has had neck pain for 10 years. She has been going to a great massage therapist to manage it, but her neck pain never went away.
She then started to get some elbow pain about 1 year ago. Nothing seemed to help.
Then she started to get thumb pain and started to get trigger finger. Check out her story to learn more!

This is the story of Bobbi. She heard about us through a newspaper article that we write weekly. She said, OMG I have been hurting for years.. And this may be my solution.
Of course she was skeptical, but she wanted to learn and hear what we had to say.. She was hopeful.. Her husband even asked if after seeing us for a free discovery visit if we were quacks!
She said we were the first people to sit and listen to her story, believe her in that she was actually hurting as bad as she was (as doctors thought she was crazy), and that we have seen this before and we could help her.
She told her husband, “No, I think this may actually work..” I am so hopeful that I might just get my life back..

Listen to Marlow’s Story. She thought she was going to have to slow down as she aged due to her Aches and Pains. She was told by the doctor that nothing was really wrong. She tried so many different healthcare providers without lasting results. She went to other Physical Therapist, Chiropractors, acupuncturist, without results.
I had Rotator Cuff Surgery Scheduled, but was able to Cancel it and still got my LIfe back!
