Yes. However, get with your pcp to find the actual root cause of the nerve pain. ie..is muscles and tendons, spasms or structural.
Depending on whats the root cause of the issue, yes.
Physical therapy can help neck nerve pain. A course of 2 to 3 months should help and do home exercises. If after 3 months if there's not improvement you should see your neurologist to see what else to do Sent from my Metro by T-Mobile 5G Device Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>
Physical therapy can mostly help with range of motion in the neck, improving strength and balance that may have been compromised if there is compression to the spinal cord. Physical therapy can also help to improve cervical alignment and posture which secondarily may relieve some nerve pain. Additionally, therapy may help to improve any associated muscle pain in the neck. Karwin McCain, MD Board Certified PM&R and Brain Injury Medicine
Yes, getting to the root cause of the neck nerve pain is key, Posture correction, manual techniques including trigger point, myofascial release , simple repeated movements, stretching , breathing and lastly looking at your sleep position and head support.
Physical therapy is a good treatment for neck pain after you have been evaluated by a trained physician.
