Neck Pain

Is neck pain stopping you from living comfortably - affecting your sleep, routine, or the activities that matter most?

Neck pain can be more than just a nuisance - it can stop you from turning your head, working comfortably, sleeping properly, or enjoying daily life.

For many, it starts as tightness or stiffness and gradually worsens, while others wake up with sudden, sharp pain or develop discomfort after long hours at a desk.

You may be wondering:

• “Why is my neck always stiff or sore?”
• “Is this just a muscle strain, or something more serious?”
• “Why do I also feel pain in my head, shoulders, or down my arm?”
• “Do I need to rest, stretch, or get help?”

If these questions sound familiar, you're not alone and you're in the right place to start feeling better.

Understanding Neck Pain

Neck pain is one of the most common reasons people in the UK seek help for musculoskeletal issues. It can be caused by poor posture, stress, repetitive strain, or injury and often involves a combination of tight muscles, joint restrictions, nerve irritation, or tension from surrounding areas.

We regularly help patients with:

• Postural-related neck pain (often from desk work or phone use)
• Muscle tension and spasms
• Joint stiffness and facet joint dysfunction
• Whiplash and neck strain
• Cervicogenic headaches (headaches originating from the neck)
• Cervical disc herniations (with referred pain, numbness, or tingling in the arm)
• Degenerative changes (e.g. age-related changed, arthritis)
• Stress-related tension or jaw issues

Neck pain may stay localised, or it might radiate into the head, shoulders, upper back, or down the arms. In some cases, it can even cause dizziness, headaches, or pins and needles.

Why Early Treatment Matters

While it’s common to hope neck pain will go away on its own, untreated symptoms can often linger, worsen, or lead to secondary problems like headaches, shoulder pain, or poor sleep. Early treatment not only provides relief but also helps correct the underlying cause before it becomes chronic.

How We Treat Shoulder Pain

We start with a thorough assessment to understand the cause of your pain, how it's affecting you, and what you need to get back to moving freely. Your treatment plan will be tailored to your specific symptoms, lifestyle, and goals - whether you’re recovering from an injury, improving posture, or managing ongoing tension.

Treatment may include:

• Postural and Biomechanical assessment – We’ll assess your work setup, daily habits, and sleeping position - and provide simple, effective changes to reduce stress on your neck throughout the day

• Education and self-care guidance – We’ll help you understand what’s causing your pain and show you how to manage flare-ups and stay in control of your recovery
