Stiff Neck Treatment in Belmar & Freehold, NJ

Understanding Stiff Neck Pain

A stiff neck can make simple movements—like driving, working, or even sleeping—painful and frustrating. Often caused by poor posture, stress, or injuries, a stiff neck can also be a sign of underlying issues in the spine or muscles.

At Thrive Spine & Sports Rehab, we provide targeted treatment options to reduce stiffness, restore mobility, and prevent recurring flare-ups. Learn more about other conditions we treat.

Common Causes of a Stiff Neck

Stiff neck pain may result from:

  • Poor Posture – long hours at a computer or looking down at your phone
  • Motor Vehicle Accidents (MVA) – whiplash injuries from auto accidents
  • Sports Injuries – sudden impacts or repetitive strain
  • Sleeping Position – improper pillow or mattress support
  • Stress & Muscle Tension – tightening of neck and shoulder muscles

Symptoms That Shouldn't Be Ignored

If stiffness is accompanied by these symptoms, you should seek professional evaluation:

  • Severe pain that doesn't improve after a few days
  • Numbness, tingling, or weakness in arms or hands
  • Headaches starting at the base of the skull
