“I have neck pain” is one of the most common complaints we hear from patients at REPAIR SI in Huntington Beach, California. Whether it’s caused by poor posture, work-from-home setups or an old injury, neck pain can affect your daily routine and your quality of life.
The good news? You may not need surgery to find relief. Physical therapy offers proven, noninvasive techniques that can help you feel better, move better and live with less pain.
What causes neck pain?
Many people experience neck pain due to:
- Poor posture (especially from prolonged phone or computer use, aka “tech neck”)
- Previous injuries like whiplash
- Muscle tension from stress
- Degenerative changes, such as arthritis or disc issues
While some conditions require medical imaging or specialist care, most neck pain can be effectively managed with conservative, movement-based treatment.

- Pain relief strategies using myofascial release and dry needling
- Targeted mobility and strengthening exercises
- Posture and body mechanics coaching
- Education to help you prevent future flare-ups
This approach promotes long-term recovery by improving function and reducing the risk of recurring pain.
