Laser Therapy for Neck Pain: What to Know

About neck pain
Neck pain often relates to posture, muscle strain and joint changes. Most episodes are not caused by a serious underlying problem.
Where laser therapy fits
Research has looked at low-level laser therapy for mechanical neck pain, generally as part of a broader plan that includes movement and postural advice.
Common symptoms
Symptoms may include stiffness, aching, headaches at the base of the skull and difficulty turning the head. Symptoms can vary from person to person.
When to seek professional advice
Severe pain, symptoms after trauma, or numbness or weakness in the arms should be professionally assessed.
