How long does it take to heal neck pain?
Our patients generally experience quick relief from our neck pain treatment, although everyone heals differently. Most neck pain has a muscular component to it. The most common type of neck pain is caused by a simple sprain/strain. These injuries take 8-12 weeks to heal properly. If there are more advanced complications like spinal degeneration, chronic pain, or additional health problems, then you can expect your healing process to be longer.
