Where is My Neck Pain Coming From?
The causes of neck pain can range from muscle strains to poor posture, repetitive motion, prolonged sitting, traumatic injuries and more. You may also experience neck pain that’s associated with headaches or shoulder pain.
Our physical therapists use a multifaceted approach to assess, diagnose and treat neck pain. We create an individualized treatment plan based on your diagnosis, symptoms and response to various treatments.
Common Neck Pain Conditions
- Cervical Radiculopathy
- Cervical Disc Herniation
- Whiplash Injury
- Cervical Stenosis
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Cervical Dystonia
What We Treat
Assessment and Diagnosis
We begin by conducting a thorough assessment to identify the underlying causes of your neck pain. This may involve evaluating posture, range of motion, muscle strength, joint mobility and any contributing factors.Patient Education
Understanding the factors contributing to neck pain is crucial. We educate patients about proper ergonomics, posture and lifestyle modifications to prevent and manage neck pain.Exercises for Flexibility and Strength
Tailored exercises are prescribed to improve flexibility and strength in the neck and scapular muscles. This helps address imbalances, reduce muscle tension and enhance overall function.Manual Therapy
Hands-on techniques, including joint mobilizations and manipulations, are used to improve joint mobility and reduce pain. This can help release muscle tightness and restore normal movement patterns.Postural Correction
Poor posture is a common contributor to neck pain. We provide guidance on maintaining proper posture during daily activities and offer exercises to correct postural imbalances.Heat and Cold Therapy
Application of heat or cold therapy can help alleviate pain and reduce inflammation. We may recommend specific modalities based on the nature of your neck pain which can be used to create a home exercise program.Strengthening Exercises for Supporting Muscles
Strengthening exercises for muscles around the neck, shoulders and upper back can help improve stability and support for the neck, reducing the risk of pain recurrence.Stretching Exercises
Targeted stretches help improve flexibility, relieve muscle tightness and enhance range of motion in the neck. These stretches are often incorporated into home exercise programs.Traction
In some cases, traction may be used to gently stretch the spine and relieve pressure on the neck joints and disc.Ergonomic Recommendations
We provide guidance on ergonomics at work and home, recommending adjustments to workstations, seating and other environmental factors to reduce strain on the neck.What Our Patients Say

I was in PT for and extended period of time and was very happy with the treatment and therapists at Ellite. I worked primarily with Jacquie and Stephanie and attribute my improved mobility and return to activities I enjoy to the care I received. I enjoyed the relaxed, friendly feel of this place as well. I highly recommend them.
I’m so pleased that I’ve found a PT facility that treats TMJ. Haven’t finished my PT yet, but so far I’ve noticed a real improvement. My migraines are definitely reduced in frequency, duration, and intensity.

I was referred here by my dentist for TMJ and I’m so glad I was! My jaw had been locked for 3 weeks and I was having debilitating pain and headaches. After just a few sessions with Andrew and Jackie I had more mobility and less pain. I’ve been going for a little over a month and my jaw is pretty much back to normal.
Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable.
They really are doing everything possible to get me back to health quickly.
Also when I started I felt broken and within weeks they identified the problem and fixed me. Wonderful!!!

I have been a patient at Elite Therapy Solutions in West Chester since October of 2023.
After experiencing a concussion and being referred for occupational and physical therapy, I landed at Elite!
Being able to receive both occupational and physical therapy in once place with the convenience of scheduling back to back appointments was one of the best things about my concussion recovery process. The ease of having both therapies in one location and the collaboration between therapists towards my goals played a big role in my progress.
Working closely with Mary for OT and Andrew and Jackie for PT, I was able to not only find coping strategies for the difficulties that accompany having a concussion, but also improve upon those areas and get back to my normal functioning. The team at Elite in West Chester had an invested interested in my recovery and made such a difficult situation less daunting. I truly looked forward to spending my afternoons in the office and am quite sad that I graduated from both OT and PT (although I am doing SO MUCH BETTER).
I worked with almost all of the therapists over the several months of treatment and was never disappointed. Each clinician showed genuine care and interest in my recovery process every step of the way. Even Amanda (front of office) was such a joy to interact with each visit!
Anyone who is lucky enough to work with the team at Elite West Chester will not be disappointed 🙂
