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 common problem, with approximately one in 10 people experiencing it at any given moment. This is not unexpected, considering the modern lifestyle activities, such as sitting for extended periods in front of a computer, watching television for prolonged periods, and an increasing prevalence of poor posture, particularly forward head posture.
Pain in the shoulders, TMJ or jaw, pins and needles in the hands, carpal tunnel syndrome, upper back pain, and headaches can all be caused by neck problems.
If you regularly experience any of the following symptoms, we encourage you to contact us for a comprehensive assessment:
- Persistent neck ache first thing in the morning
- Stiffness in the neck when reversing in the car
- Clicking sound in the neck when turning
- Constant aching neck muscles
- Tingling in the fingers or hands
Causes of Neck Pain
The most prevalent cause of neck pain is poor posture. To understand how poor posture affects the neck, we must first recognise the importance of proper spinal alignment.
Your head weighs about 5 kgs and in normal alignment it is very carefully balanced on top of your seven neck bones (vertebrae). Your muscles work very hard to maintain this position and can easily withstand short periods of variation. The problem arises when we assume awkward positions for prolonged periods, the fine balance is disturbed and the nerves, muscles, joints, ligaments and discs of your neck become strained and irritated. In fact, the tension in your neck and shoulder muscles doubles for every 2-3 cm’s that your head is forward
As time passes, the strain and pressure on the neck accumulate, resulting in chronic discomfort and even the slightest changes in posture can have significant effects. Along with the pressures and demands of modern life, it’s no wonder that neck pain is so prevalent.
Neck pain is frequently caused by whiplash, arthritis, and injuries sustained while participating in sports.
