Your neck is an essential part of everyday movement, and neck pain can prevent you from functioning normally. This pain can be debilitating and extremely uncomfortable, especially if it radiates to your shoulders or shoulder blade.
Whether your pain is preventing you from sitting up straight in your chair or causing you to tilt your head down to tie your shoes, physiotherapy can help you get back to normal, pain-free functioning.
According to the American Physiotherapy Association (APTA), one-third of the population will experience neck pain in any given year. If it is left untreated, it can worsen, and in severe cases, surgery may even be required.
However, there is some good news, every year, many people find relief from their neck pain with the help of physiotherapy! At Central Physiotherapy & Massage, our clinicians are committed to providing you with the assistance you require. Click here to book an appointment today and get started on the road to recovery!
Physiotherapy is one of the most effective methods for treating neck pain. Our physiotherapists at Central Physiotherapy & Massage will conduct a thorough physical examination to assess your neck’s range of motion, as well as any limitations you may have as a result of your pain.
Following the assessment, they will make a diagnosis that will determine your treatment plan. You will collaborate to understand the goals and expectations of each step of your personalized treatment plan.
The main goal of you treatment plan will be to get rid of the pain in your neck as quickly as possible. Your therapist will also collaborate with your primary care physician if necessary!
You may be wondering what treatments are most likely to be included in your treatment plan. Our experienced physiotherapists will give you specific exercises to strengthen, build, and improve the muscles and tissues in your neck. They may also use manual or hands-on therapy, which consists of specific techniques designed to reduce stiffness and improve the range of motion in your neck. Additional treatment options may include ice and heat therapy, shockwave therapy, laser, decompression therapy, ultrasound, or electrical stimulation, as determined by your physiotherapist
Some common conditions that give you pain in your neck include:
Certain diseases and ailments can result in neck pain, such as rheumatoid cancer, arthritis, and meningitis.
Even something as simple as sitting at your desk all day with your neck craned toward the computer screen can cause your neck muscles to become strained by overuse.
If you have a herniated disc in your neck, or a narrowing of the foramen (space where the nerves exit the spine), the nerves that branch out from your spinal cord can become compressed. In some cases, nerve pain can even extend from the neck down to the hands and fingers — a condition known as “radiculopathy.”
Whiplash is one of the most common injuries that result from it, typically sustained by an automobile or high-impact sports collision. This is known as a “strain” injury, causing the head to whip rapidly back-and-forth, thus affecting the soft tissues in the back of the neck.
Conditions such as osteoarthritis can also reduce the cartilage between the vertebrae in the neck, also resulting in neck pain. Much like any other joint in your body, the neck joints can erode with age, causing pain.
