Have You Been Searching For A “Neck Pain Specialist”?
Have You Tried Everything To Find Relief For Your Neck Pain, But Feel Let Down?
Don’t sacrifice the lifestyle you desire over problems that can be fixed.
A Message From Neck Pain Specialist Dr. Ryan Seifert, Owner Of Natural Fit Therapy:
- Do you find yourself worried over neck pain that doesn’t go away no matter how much rest you give it?
- Are you frustrated that other stretches haven’t worked?
- Do you have trouble keeping up with your grand-kids and feel like you’re missing out on family time?
- Are you still looking for a long-term solution so you can get back to your daily routine pain-free?
If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, then rest assured, You’re In The Right Place!
Many people suffer unnecessarily with neck pain because they’re often told…
- To “rest it” and it’ll be fine (then months later they’re still suffering…).
- That their neck pain is “normal” with age.
- If they take some pills then everything will be fine.
- Having surgery is the only option available.
The Truth About Neck Pain Is:
- Resting doesn’t change anything. You may feel temporary relief, but as soon as you’re active again you’ll find yourself still suffering from neck pain and stiffness (I bet you’ve already experienced it!).
- It’s not normal to get neck pain as you get older!
- Taking daily pain pills is addicting, dangerous, and can cause a lot of other problems for your body.
- Surgery or injections are not the only options for neck pain.. They’re just the only options you’ve been given.

It can be very confusing to decide exactly what you should do if you have neck pain. You’ve likely heard a lot of well-intentioned advice or options such as…
- A family member telling you to give up the activity causing you neck pain.
- A colleague mentions giving group yoga a try.
- To watch the “experts” on YouTube recommend a specific exercise or stretch.
- A friend suggesting seeing a chiropractor.
- All the while hearing doctors tell you that surgery is the only option.
It’s overwhelming to make a decision when there are so many options available. You may ask yourself, “what will happen if I make the wrong choice?”
It’s normal to feel stuck when trying to make a decision on what to do about your neck pain.
You might go days, months, or even years without taking action. This indecision just prolongs your pain and keeps you from the life you desire. We understand your concerns and we’re here to help you take that first step in getting the relief you need!
When It Comes To Neck Pain Treatment…
You must choose the right provider for your neck pain. If you don’t, you could end up being dependent on addicting painkillers for the rest of your life.
Getting the “least-invasive” and most natural treatment is VITAL to stopping your neck pain and keeping it from ever coming back.
To do that, you’ll have to not only treat the pain, but also have a provider who is willing to figure out WHY the neck pain happened in the first place. That’s when you’ll get a PERMANENT solution to your problems.
“I am more than delighted with the expert treatment at NFT. Desiree has all of the expertise not only of a physical therapist but is talented in acupuncture and chiropractic techniques as well. Years ago I had a right torn rotator cuff, Now I have injured the left one. The treatment I received before cannot compare with the care I am getting now. Desiree works on my neck and back to stretch and strengthen the entire area. I had worked with her earlier on balance as well. I have had both hips replaced and had broken my foot and back. She adjusted my left hip and improved my gait and balance. Could not be more pleased.”

At Natural Fit Therapy we’ve created a 3 step process for neck pain treatment to make sure it doesn’t come back again.
Step #1 - We Want To Listen To Your Story
We know the medical system can be frustrating. Sometimes you have to wait weeks or even months for an appointment, only to talk to the doctors for 10 minutes before they have to run to the next patient and you’re left sitting there wondering, “what just happened?”
Unfortunately, many physical therapy clinics operate this way. They’re not attentive, they’re fast-paced and your physical therapist likely doesn’t have time to see you for multiple concerns or help you in all the areas you’re worried about.
This is why our first step is to listen to your story.
After working with a lot of people who struggle with neck pain, we know that no two persons are alike. Each one has a different body, a different history, and a different type of pain. Whether your pain is stiff, throbbing, or achy we want to understand it and help solve it.
That is why our first step is to have an open conversation with you and to give you time to tell your neck pain story, so we can have a full picture of what’s going on. We want to not only understand how your neck pain started, but also how it’s impacting your life right now.
Step #2 - Find Out WHY Your Neck Pain Started
You might have a diagnosis or medical term for what’s going on with your body. Maybe your doctor gave it to you, maybe tests showed the diagnosis, or maybe you found it online.
You’ve probably been told that your only choices were to rest, live with the pain, or have surgery.
Sometimes those things bring temporary relief, but they’re not addressing what CAUSED the problem in the first place.
Everyone’s neck pain is different. No two people are going to have the same pain caused by the same reason.
Our goal at Natural Fit is to find the original cause of your neck pain, so that it doesn’t just go away, it STAYS AWAY!
We understand that you might be skeptical or unsure if physical therapy is the right treatment for your neck pain. If that’s you, feel free to give us a call below. We’d love to talk about your concerns and see if we’re the best fit for you!
Step #3 - Get Rid Of The Neck Pain & Keep It From Coming Back
This is when the big transformation occurs. We develop a personalized neck pain treatment plan that allows you to…
…get back to your favorite activities without fear of neck pain and stiffness coming back.
…be able to play with grand-kids and enjoy family time.
…get back to a full-night’s rest without neck pain when you wake up.
…be able to go the extra mile on that walk.
Our best clients are those who are motivated and ready to win back their healthy lifestyle. (Even if they feel stuck right now!)
