Just one of NUMEROUS studies showing the benefits of EARLY Physical therapy treatments...get physical therapy BEFORE the pain becomes CHRONIC:

Early Physical Therapy for neck pain saves money, lowers opioid use:
​
A study that focused solely on neck pain found that over a year's time patients who waited more than 90 days to see a PT after initial health care consultation for neck pain were 2.79 times more likely to receive an opioid prescription than were patients who met with a PT within 14 days of the index visit. At the end of 1 year, the average adjusted total health care cost for the "early physical therapy" group was $1,853—less than half the $4,026 cost associated with the "late physical therapy" group.
