Neck Pain
Neck pain is unfortunately very common. In fact, it is probably one of the most common complaints our physios see presenting to the clinic.
Neck pain can present in a variety of ways, both acutely such as after a poor night sleep, or a motor vehicle accident, or as a more persistent problem. Issues affecting your neck can also refer pain into your shoulder, arm or hand.
Common conditions our physios treat:
-
Disc bulge or herniation
-
Cervical radiculopathy or nerve root pain
-
Wry Neck
-
Whiplash
-
Joint or muscle strain
-
Post-operative rehab
-
Degenerative neck pain
-
Neck tightness
-
Chronic neck pain
Fortunately most episodes of neck pain are short lived. These usually resolve quickly with some hands on treatment. For certain conditions, a more specific program of neck stretching or strengthening might also be needed. Our physiotherapist will listen to your history and after an assessment will work with you to develop a tailored treatment plan.
