FAQs

What causes neck and back pain?

Neck and back pain can be caused by many factors, including muscle strain, poor posture, repetitive movements, injuries, arthritis, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and degenerative changes that occur with age. Lifestyle factors such as prolonged sitting, lack of exercise, stress, and improper lifting techniques can also contribute. A CustomFit physical therapist can help determine the underlying cause based on your symptoms and medical history.

  • You should seek medical evaluation if your pain:
    • Lasts longer than a few weeks.
    • Is severe or worsening.
    • Occurs after a fall or accident.
    • Radiates into your arms or legs.
    • Is accompanied by numbness, tingling, or weakness.
    • Causes difficulty walking or maintaining balance.
    • It is associated with fever, unexplained weight loss, or loss of bladder or bowel control. These symptoms may indicate a more serious condition requiring immediate medical attention.
  • Treatment depends on the cause but often includes:
    • Physical therapy
    • Stretching and strengthening exercises
    • Activity modification
    • Anti-inflammatory medications or pain relievers
    • Heat or ice therapy
    • Chiropractic care
    • Manual therapy (when appropriate)
    • Massage therapy
    • Steroid injections for certain conditions
  • In some cases, surgery may be recommended if conservative treatments are unsuccessful or if there is significant nerve compression.

For most people, gentle movement is better than prolonged bed rest. Staying active with walking, light stretching, and daily activities helps keep muscles flexible and supports healing. Extended inactivity can actually make pain worse by weakening muscles and increasing stiffness. However, strenuous activities should be avoided until symptoms improve.

Yes. Stress often causes muscles to tighten, particularly in the neck, shoulders, and upper back. Over time, chronic muscle tension can lead to pain, stiffness, headaches, and reduced mobility. Stress management techniques such as exercise, mindfulness, adequate sleep, and relaxation exercises may help reduce symptoms.
