When Neck and Shoulder Pain starts, it’s easy to think “I just slept wrong and have a crick in my neck”. Or maybe you assume you just lifted something too heavy, or sat at the computer too long..... Or you have no idea which is actually the problem, "is it my neck or my shoulder??? "
Is that how you’re feeling right now? If so, you’re not alone. In fact, everyday at Blue Wave Physical Therapy and Wellness we help people around New Orleans who feel this way. You see, with NECK and SHOULDER PAIN, most people ask us the same questions… Why does it PINCH when I turn to back out of the driveway? Why does my HEAD and ARM feel so HEAVY? Why can't I get comfortable at night to sleep? Unfortunately, there’s a lot of bad information out there that causes people to live with NECK and SHOULDER PAIN for way too long. Here are the most common mistakes we see the people of New Orleans making when it comes to NECK and SHOULDER PAIN... Mistake #1: Thinking the PAIN will go away with rest and a break from exercise. Mistake #2: Believing that NECK AND SHOULDER PAIN will be “fixed” with painkillers. Mistake #3: Assuming WEAKNESS in the arms and hands is a “normal” part of getting older… Mistake #4: Believing that since you tried other healthcare professionals (maybe even Physical Therapy) in the past means that it won’t work now. Mistake #5: Relying on “Dr. Google” or YouTube for exercises that didn’t make any difference (or maybe even made your NECK and SHOULDER PAIN worse!) Have you been making these mistakes? If any of this has happened to you, we want to say “we are sorry”...but remind you that you’re not alone. In fact, we see people just like you every day. And that’s why we’ve created a free NECK and SHOULDER PAIN guide for you. It goes over 8 EASY TIPS TO DECREASE NECK and SHOULDER PAIN. But maybe you feel like you’ve read a lot of free information on the internet, and really just want to talk to someone about your problem. Is that you? If so, then we have a special opportunity for you (one that VERY FEW therapists offer). We save a limited number of spots each week for time for people who are not sure what to do about their SHOULDER OR NECK PAIN. That way, you can tell a professional your story, and get your question answered first, before ever making a commitment to book an appointment. Does that sound like something you would like to do? Here’s the most important thing… Most people get stuck trying to make a decision about what to do next. They go days, weeks, months (even years!) without taking action. The one thing we can guarantee is that by doing nothing, your NECK and SHOULDER PAIN will not automatically get better. |
