About Neck Pain
If you are experiencing neck pain, you will be happy to learn that our established Physiotherapy approach may provide the answer you have been looking for.
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.
Headaches, shoulder pain, TMJ or jaw pain, pins and needles in the hands, carpal tunnel syndrome, and upper back pain can all be caused by problems in the neck.
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 sound in the neck when turning
- Constant aching of the neck muscles
- Tingling sensation in the hands or fingers
Causes of Neck Pain
The effects of poor posture are the primary cause of neck pain. To comprehend the impact of poor posture on the neck, we must first acknowledge the significance of proper spinal alignment.
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.
Over time, the neck strain and pressure accumulates to a point where it becomes chronic and even the smallest changes in posture cause significant effects. Coupled with the stresses and demands of modern life, it’s no surprise that neck pain is so common.
Other common causes of neck pain include whiplash, arthritis and sporting injuries.
Treatment for Neck Pain
Physiotherapy is an effective method for treating neck pain, providing a comprehensive approach to care. After a thorough examination, including history, orthopaedic, neurological, and spinal tests, your Physiotherapist will create a customised treatment plan focused on reducing pressure, restoring movement, and preventing recurrence. The treatment plan typically includes postural advice, spinal manipulations to restore joint movement, massages to relieve tight muscles, neck exercises to improve movement, strengthening exercises, heat/ice therapy to manage pain, and the recommendation of a contoured pillow for proper sleeping support.
