Neck Pain Ludlow

Is your painful neck impacting your daily life, your sleep, and your ability to participate in activities you enjoy? 

What is Neck Pain?

Many people suffer from neck pain, which can be caused by problems related to poor posture, overuse or overworking, or sitting at a computer. 

At Midlands Physiotherapy, we have treated many patients with neck pain, which can often be a persistent problem. However, through our unique approach of using manual therapies (hands-on treatment) and exercises to prevent recurrence, we have helped individuals regain proper neck movement and become pain-free once again.

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 very common with about one in 10 people having it at any given time.  This comes as no surprise when we consider the activities of modern life such as sitting in front of a computer, watching prolonged periods of television and an increasing incidence of poor posture – particularly forward head posture. 

Neck problems can also result in headaches, shoulder pain, TMJ or jaw pain, pins and needles in the hands, carpal tunnel syndrome, and upper back pain. 

If you frequently experience any of the following symptoms, we recommend that you contact us for a thorough assessment: 

  • Persistent morning neck pain 
  • Stiffness in the neck when reversing in the car 
  • Clicking neck noise when turning 
  • Constant neck muscle aches 
  • Tingling in the fingers or hands

Causes of Neck Pain

By far the most common cause of neck pain relates to the effects of poor posture.  In order to understand the impact of poor posture, we must first consider why spinal alignment within the neck is so important. 

In a normal alignment, your head weighs approximately 5 kgs and is meticulously balanced on top of the seven vertebrae in your neck. Your muscles work tirelessly to maintain this position and can cope with short-term variations. However, assuming uncomfortable positions for extended periods can disturb 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. 

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.
