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 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.
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 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
- Neck stiffness while reversing in the car
- Clicking sound in the neck when turning
- Continuous neck muscle ache
- Tingling in the fingers or hands
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.
When your head is in normal alignment, it weighs roughly 5 kgs and is precisely balanced on top of the seven vertebrae in your neck. Your muscles work hard to maintain this position and can endure short periods of variation. However, when we hold awkward positions for extended periods, the fine balance is disrupted, leading to strain and irritation of the nerves, muscles, joints, ligaments, and discs in your neck. Every 2-3 cm that your head is forward, the tension in your neck and shoulder muscles doubles.
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.

Our comprehensive approach to neck pain treatment using Physiotherapy is effective.
