Are You Suffering With Neck And Shoulder Pain?
If you’ve got neck or shoulder pain, stiffness, or a persistent ache, it’s very tempting to think it’s nothing—that it’ll just go away on its own. Or you might brush it off as having “slept wrong,” “tensed up too much,” or assume it’s just the kind of discomfort that “everyone your age” experiences…
There’s no obvious reason why it started, or maybe it appeared gradually after working at a desk, looking down at your phone, or lifting something—but the pain just isn’t improving.
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and we hear this all the time. In fact, Chronic Neck Pain, Shoulder Impingement, and Rotator Cuff Issues are among the most common problems we treat in our physical therapy clinic here in Naples, FL.

What Is Neck & Shoulder Pain?
Neck and shoulder pain affects millions of people and is one of the most common reasons individuals seek help from our team at Freedom Physical Therapy and Fitness. These issues can come from everyday habits – poor posture, prolonged sitting, looking down at phones or computers, lifting incorrectly, or even stress-related muscle tension. Modern “tech neck” is now a major contributor, as more people spend hours with their head tilted forward, placing extra strain on the spine and surrounding muscles.
Neck and shoulder pain can also stem from specific medical conditions such as cervicogenic headaches, rotator cuff irritation, muscle strain, spinal stenosis in the neck, or nerve irritation that causes pain to travel down the arms. Whether the problem is new or something you’ve lived with for years, neck and shoulder pain can interrupt your routine, limit your activities, and affect your quality of life. Understanding what’s causing your discomfort is the first step toward finding the right solution.
What are the symptoms of Neck & Shoulder Pain?
Neck and shoulder issues show up differently from person to person. Common symptoms include:
- Persistent neck or shoulder stiffness
- Headaches that start at the base of the skull (cervicogenic headaches)
- Sharp or aching pain in the shoulder or upper back
- Pain radiating into the arms or between the shoulder blades
- Sensitivity to light or sound
- Tingling, numbness, or shooting sensations down the arm
- Discomfort during work, driving, or everyday activities
When symptoms persist, they can interfere with normal life – making it harder to work, focus, socialize, or enjoy time with family. Many people find themselves avoiding activities they once loved simply because the discomfort becomes too overwhelming.
