NECK PAIN

Neck pain can affect your daily life more than many other problems and can be very disconcerting. Common complaints include whiplash, postural pain or muscle imbalance, disc protrusions, spondylosis (wear and tear), acute torticolis, sprains and strains and nerve irritation. Symptoms may refer into your arms and hands in the form of pain, pins and needles or numbness. Headaches may also be experienced due to stiff joints or overactive muscles.

A full assessment will determine the cause of the problem with treatment including joint mobilisations, soft tissue massage, heat/ice therapy, muscle energy techniques, postural and ergonimic advice, progressive exercise therapy and activation of the deep stabilising muscles that are often neglected.
