In a survey conducted with over 300 chronic pain sufferers, 59% reported an impact on the quality of their life and 77% of those surveyed reported feeling depressed. Fortunately Physical Therapy can help resolve all the pains in your neck. Contact Elite Physical Therapy today to schedule your consultation. Why does neck pain occur?

Patient Results

“I knew that I had made the right choice!” “Being my first major injury, ACL and meniscus repair on my right knee, I wanted to be sure of where I would do my Physical Therapy. After my first visit at Elite Physical Therapy, I knew that I had made the right choice. I received excellent care and after 3 appointments every week for the last 3 months, I feel like the staff are more my friends than I am their patient!” – B.S. 5 STAR REVIEW
