Why Your Injury Keeps Coming Back

If you’re like most people we see, this isn’t the first thing you’ve tried. You rested. You followed YouTube rehab videos. You went to physical therapy where you were rushed through generic exercises.

Maybe you even tried injections or pain meds. And yet… the same issue keeps showing up. That’s because most approaches focus on where it hurts, not why it’s happening.

Pain is usually the symptom—not the problem.

Until you identify what’s actually driving the issue (how you move, load, recover, and train), the pain may calm down temporarily—but it almost always returns once you get back to normal life or training. That’s the injury–reinjury cycle.

Our approach starts by finding the root cause and building a clear, outcome-based plan to fix it—so you’re not stuck managing the same issue year after year.

A Message From Matt Buch, DPT, OCS, Owner and Founder of Total Pursuit Physical Therapy & Performance in the Green Bay Area

When confronted with neck pain, many individuals find themselves asking the same questions:

"Why Is This Happening To Me?" Or "Why Am I Still Suffering From Neck Pain Even After Enduring It For Six Months, Or Sometimes Even Longer?"

A common belief among most people is that it will eventually disappear when they experience neck pain. They hope that one morning they will wake up and the pain will have vanished as if by magic. However, reality often proves different, as the pain persists and becomes even more bothersome than when it initially appeared.

Does This Situation Resonate With You?

Another frequent occurrence in our physical therapy clinic is when individuals seek medical advice from doctors. These doctors typically recommend rest and suggest trying painkillers to see if the condition improves. However, after six weeks, these individuals return to the same doctor because the pain hasn’t subsided. In response, they have prescribed even stronger medication, compounding the issue.

Have You Ever Found Yourself In That Situation?

Perhaps you feel confused because you’ve received conflicting information from various sources. Maybe you believe the issue lies in your shoulder, only to discover that the problem actually resides in your neck. It can be quite puzzling to pinpoint the exact source of the problem in this area of the body. Consequently, people often procrastinate and delay the decision to seek help for their neck pain. To make matters worse, many individuals simply accept the pain as a normal part of life, resigning themselves to the belief that it must be that way.

Do You Resonate With Any Of These Experiences?

If You Are Currently Living With Neck Pain, Here Are Seven Additional Reasons Why It Might Be Persisting Longer Than It Should:

  1. You initially expected the pain to resolve independently, but it persisted.
  2. You visited a doctor who advised rest and painkillers, yet the medication provided no relief. Once the effects wore off, the neck pain returned.
  3. A family member or friend convinced you that experiencing neck pain is a normal part of aging, leading you to accept it without further help.
  4. You previously sought assistance from other healthcare professionals or physical therapists, but their advice and treatments failed to alleviate your pain.
  5. You attempted alternative approaches, such as heating pads or TENS devices, but they did not positively reduce pain.
  6. Due to the intensity of your neck pain, you believed that rest would be beneficial, yet it continues to bother you daily.
  7. You opted for massages hoping to provide long-term relief, but they merely offered temporary relaxation without addressing the underlying issue.

We would be delighted to assist you if any of these scenarios sound familiar. We invite you to book a call with one of our physical therapists, who can provide valuable advice and guidance. The fact that you have already attempted these methods allows us to identify what doesn’t work, bringing us closer to discovering effective solutions. Click the link below to schedule a call and receive reliable advice.

The next thing people ask us all the time is this:

“What Can You Do To Get Rid Of Neck Pain?”...

Well, here are four things you can do:

1. First off, you need to make a decision about getting help – So many people procrastinate for so long, thinking that the neck pain will ‘just go away with time’, but then six months down the line, they’re still putting up with it, and nothing’s changed…or it gets worse.

2. Next, do the RIGHT exercises – one of the best things to help you ease your neck pain is to do the right series of progressed exercises – the right exercises given to you by a Physical Therapist will help reduce pain, and allow you to move freely again quickly – and make sure that the problems don’t come back any time soon.

3. Avoid sitting and sleeping in awkward positions – ever woken up with a painful neck? Or did you feel tightness in your neck after a long day spent sitting? That’s because one of the worst things you can do that adds to neck pain is sitting with a bad posture and sleeping in awkward positions. It would help if you were given appropriate strengthening exercises for better posture, alongside hands-on treatment, to get you active and healthy as quickly as possible.

4. Get real, “hands-on” Physical Therapy – Physical Therapy is proven to help people with neck pain. In fact, at Total Pursuit Physical Therapy & Performance, it’s one of the most common issues we see. If your neck pain is affecting your job, if your sleep is disturbed by having a stiff neck, if it stops you from keeping active, or if it threatens your independence and gets in the way of spending quality time with family and friends – Physiotherapy can help get you back to living the life you deserve as quickly as possible.

Suppose you want to know how the Physical Therapy team at Total Pursuit Physical Therapy & Performance can help you live with less neck pain. In that case, we invite you to start with a completely free, no-obligation, risk-free phone consultation with a doctor of physical therapy at our De Pere, Wisconsin clinic in the Green Bay Area.

I saught out a PT after a reaggravated a long term back injury in an attempt to properly address the issue and come out with a long term recovery plan. After working with Matt for the last couple months, I can wholeheartedly say it was the best decision I made and I cannot recommend Matt enough. From day one, we sat down and assessed the injury and came up with a gameplan. I made clear my intentions and what I was looking for and Matt listened and outlined a complete timeline of what he looked to do each session, and summarized the recovery from start to finish. Throughout the process, he was always intently looking to me for feedback to ensure I was getting everything I was looking for and inquiring if I wanted to pivot or tweak the scope of a session. Not only is Matt extremely attentive, he's very communicative and willing to give video feedback in real time and correct form/technique to better serve you in long term recovery. Dont hesitate to give Matt and Total Pursuit a try!

If you are thinking about going anywhere else, don’t. Dr. Matt is awesome. He will work with you in all aspects of your recovery and get you back to where you want to be and more! I went to Dr. Matt for pre-treatment for my upcoming Shoulder surgery. After only three days, I was at 90% rotation and no pain whatsoever and back on my feet. The work we did previous to my surgery has decreased my recovery by months!

I went to see Dr.Matt after struggling with shoulder and bicep pain in my right arm. I had very limited use of my right arm without pain. Dr. Matt assessed my concern.we came up with a game plan on treatment, and within a couple weeks I regained 90% of the motion back without any pain. I am confident that when our treatment plan wraps up I will have full motion completely pain free.

I’ve had the chance to get to know Dr. Matt Buch through our local networking group, and he’s someone who really stands out for his character and integrity. Matt is the kind of person who is genuine, honest, and always looking to do right by others. He shows up consistently, supports the people around him, and brings a high level of professionalism to everything he does. You can tell he truly cares about helping people and takes pride in his work. Even though I haven’t personally used his services, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him based on the way he carries himself and the reputation he’s built. If you’re looking for someone you can trust, Matt and Total Pursuit are a great choice.

I was born with infant torticollis and I had neck and middle back pains along with my hips needing to be adjusted. Been going to the chiropractor for 16 years and I feel way more relief now that I have been seeing Dr. Matt. Even after this huge blizzard we just had, I would normally feel a lot of lower back pain and I had minimal soreness after shoveling and snow blowing the last couple days. Would highly recommend! 👍🏻

I needed help. Had a bad sciatic episode this past winter where walking was a chore. With Dr buch's expertise and the exercises we worked on, I was able to enjoy the latter part of the ice fishing season pain free. A true professional, and a student of his craft, I would highly recommend total pursuit to anyone dealing with musculoskeletal issues. Thank you Matt!

Matt customized my therapy to really fit my progress and goals. I could not sleep on my shoulder and was in pain with simple tasks such as putting on a jacket or backpack. I am nearly pain free now and my strength is coming back as well. I am 61 and again participating in activities I thought I may have to give up such as bow hunting. Thanks Matt

Dr Matt is exceptional! I herniated two discs in my lower back and went through 8 months of insurance approved PT through my doctor, including three rounds of steroid treatments (two oral and one spinal). While I certainly had made progress and appreciated the care I received, I had no idea how to avoid injury again or what to do next. After months of searching, I met Dr Matt at a wellness event and booked a consultation. How wonderful to find someone willing to guide an ordinary Joe to strengthen and rehabilitate beyond simply being functional! Dr Matt is patient, responsive, thorough, and clearly explains what we’re doing and how it applies. Thank you, Dr Matt, for helping me get stronger and regain confidence in what my body is capable of doing. I know my journey is not complete but I am grateful to have you and your expertise in my corner.

I went to see Dr. Matt after struggling with back issues for years and finding little relief through traditional treatments. From the initial assessment, he took a thorough and thoughtful approach. Instead of just addressing symptoms, he focused on improving strength and stability in the areas surrounding my back that had been neglected due to long-term pain. The results have been tremendous. I’m stronger, more stable, and finally moving in the right direction. I highly recommend Dr. Matt to anyone dealing with ongoing issues.
