What Our Forest Hills Patients Say About Us

We are proud to serve the Forest Hills community, and we are grateful to hear how our specialized neck pain treatments have helped individuals regain their mobility, reduce pain, and return to the activities they enjoy. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, surgery, or managing chronic neck pain, we’ve helped many Forest Hills residents live pain-free lives once again.

I started seeing Dr. Yakov for neck pain and numbing sensations on my limbs (specifically my left arm). Since I’ve started working Dr. Yakov, my symptoms have been improved. I initially went it with symptoms that were manifesting on a daily basis – I had to limit myself physically including engaging in light activities such as washing dishes, or writing for 1-2 minutes straight. I’ve continued to feel improvements since I started treatment in late November.

I had a lot of back and Neck pain before and with a few visits felt a lot better after 10 years of chronic pain

Aura B. Stto

I have been going to Determination for several weeks now with bad neck pain. So far my experience there with Dr. Yakov has been excellent. In 3 weeks I went from horrible aching pain in my neck 4 or 5 days per week to maybe once a week now. He is kind, attentive and professional. There has been an objective decrease in my pain and I am very thankful for the work he has done. I highly recommend Dr. Yakov.

Common Neck Injuries & Conditions

Neck pain can arise from various conditions that impact your mobility and quality of life. Understanding these conditions can help guide you toward the appropriate treatment. At Determination Physical Therapy, we specialize in treating the following neck issues:

Whiplash

Whiplash injuries are often caused by sudden impacts, leading to neck pain, stiffness, and limited movement. Therapy helps reduce pain and improve mobility.

Cervical Disc Herniation

A herniated disc in the neck can cause pain, numbness, and weakness. Physical therapy focuses on reducing pain and restoring function.

Cervical Spondylosis (Arthritis)

Degenerative changes in the cervical spine can lead to pain, stiffness, and nerve compression. Treatment helps manage symptoms and improve neck function.

Muscle Strain

Overuse or poor posture can lead to muscle strains in the neck, causing pain and stiffness. Therapy focuses on relieving muscle tension and strengthening the neck.

Pinched Nerve

Compression of nerves in the neck can lead to pain, numbness, and weakness in the neck, shoulders, or arms. Physical therapy aims to alleviate pressure and restore function.

Postural Imbalances

Poor posture can lead to neck pain and discomfort. Treatment involves improving posture and strengthening the muscles to support proper alignment.
