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.
Problems within the neck can also cause headache, shoulder pain, TMJ or jaw pain, pins and needles in the hands, carpal tunnel syndrome and upper back pain.
If you regularly experience any of the following, we encourage you to contact us for a thorough assessment:
- Persistent neck ache first thing in the morning
- Stiffness in the neck while reversing in the car
- Clicking sound in the neck when turning
- Constant aching neck muscles
- Tingling in the hands or fingers
Causes of Neck Pain
Neck pain is most commonly caused by poor posture. To comprehend how poor posture affects the neck, we must first understand the importance of correct spinal alignment.
In a normal alignment, your head weighs about 5 kgs and is carefully balanced on top of the seven vertebrae in your neck. Your muscles work diligently to maintain this position and can tolerate brief variations. However, assuming uncomfortable positions for extended periods can disrupt the delicate balance, causing your neck’s nerves, muscles, joints, ligaments, and discs to become strained and irritated. For every 2-3 cm that your head is forward, the tension in your neck and shoulder muscles doubles.
The pressure and strain on the neck accumulate over time, resulting in chronic pain, and even minor changes in posture can have a significant impact. When coupled with the demands of modern life, it’s understandable why neck pain is such a common issue.
Other common causes of neck pain include whiplash, arthritis and sporting injuries.
Treatment for Neck Pain
If you’re experiencing neck pain, our Physiotherapy treatments offer a practical solution. After a thorough examination, including history, orthopaedic, neurological, and spinal tests, our skilled Physiotherapists will design a personalised treatment plan to reduce pressure, restore movement, and prevent further pain. The approach may include postural advice, spinal manipulation for joint mobility, massages to relieve muscle tension, neck exercises to promote movement, strengthening exercises, heat/ice therapy for pain relief, and a contoured pillow for optimal sleeping support.
