About Neck Pain
If you are one of the many people dealing with neck pain, our proven Physiotherapy approach may be the solution you have been seeking.
Neck pain is a frequent issue, with roughly one in 10 individuals experiencing it at any given time. This is unsurprising when we take into account the lifestyle habits of today, such as spending extended periods of time in front of a computer, watching television for prolonged periods, and an increasing incidence of poor posture, particularly forward head posture.
Neck problems can also result in headaches, shoulder pain, TMJ or jaw pain, pins and needles in the hands, carpal tunnel syndrome, and upper back pain.
If you experience any of the following symptoms on a regular basis, please contact us for a comprehensive assessment:
- Persistent neck pain in the morning
- Stiffness in the neck while reversing in the car
- Clicking neck noise when turning
- Continuous aching neck muscles
- Tingling in the fingers or hands
Causes of Neck Pain
By far the most common cause of neck pain relates to the effects of poor posture. In order to understand the impact of poor posture, we must first consider why spinal alignment within the neck is so important.
Your head weighs around 5 kgs and is carefully balanced on top of the seven vertebrae in your neck in normal alignment. Your muscles work hard to maintain this position and can tolerate brief variations. However, assuming awkward positions for extended periods can disrupt the fine balance and strain and irritate the nerves, muscles, joints, ligaments, and discs in your neck. In fact, the tension in your neck and shoulder muscles doubles for every 2-3 cm that your head is forward.
The build-up of strain and pressure on the neck over time can result in chronic pain, and even small adjustments in posture can have a significant impact. When combined with the demands and pressures of modern life, it’s not surprising that neck pain is such a common problem.
Other common causes of neck pain include whiplash, arthritis and sporting injuries.
