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 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, we encourage you to contact us for a thorough assessment:
- Persistent neck ache first thing in the morning
- Neck stiffness when reversing in the car
- Clicking sound in the neck when turning
- Constant aching neck muscles
- Tingling in your hands or fingers
Causes of Neck Pain
Poor posture is by far the most common cause of neck pain. To understand the impact of poor posture, we must first consider why proper spinal alignment in the neck is crucial.
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
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.
Arthritis, whiplash, and sporting injuries are among the most frequent causes of neck pain.
