About Neck Pain
For those suffering from neck pain, our proven Physiotherapy approach may offer the solution you have been searching for.
Neck pain is a prevalent issue, with approximately one in 10 people experiencing it at any given time. This is unsurprising when we consider the activities of modern life, such as extended periods of sitting in front of a computer, prolonged periods of watching television, and an increasing incidence of poor posture, especially 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 when reversing in the car
- Clicking sound in the neck when turning
- Constant neck muscle aches
- Tingling 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 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
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.
Neck pain is frequently caused by whiplash, arthritis, and injuries sustained while participating in sports.
