Un

Neck pain can develop gradually or appear following a change in activity or an injury.

Some factors commonly associated with neck discomfort include:

• Post traumatic neck pain as a result of an accident, fall or sports impact
• Repetitive movements
• Spending too long in one position
• Changes in activity levels
• Muscular tension and stiffness
• Work-related physical demands
• Previous episodes of neck pain

The neck contains joints, muscles, ligaments and other tissues that work together to support your head and allow movement. Changes in activity or prolonged periods in certain positions can sometimes contribute to pain and stiffness.

Your chiropractor will consider your individual circumstances rather than assuming that every case of neck pain has the same cause.

How

Even relatively mild neck pain can affect the things you normally take for granted. You may find that turning your head is uncomfortable, sitting at your computer becomes difficult or certain activities and exercises don't feel as easy as they used to.

If neck pain is affecting your work, exercise, sleep or everyday activities, we'd be happy to discuss your symptoms and the options available to you.

What about neck disc problems?
You may have heard terms such as "slipped disc", "disc bulge" or "disc prolapse" used when talking about neck problems.

Disc problems can be complex and symptoms can vary considerably. If you've been diagnosed with a disc problem, or are experiencing persistent numbness, tingling or weakness, it's important to discuss this with an appropriate healthcare professional.

Your chiropractor will take your health history and symptoms into account when assessing whether chiropractic care is appropriate. Where necessary, they may recommend further medical assessment or investigation.

Neck pain can sometimes develop following a road traffic accident, fall, sports injury or other impact. This is often referred to as whiplash-associated disorder and can involve the muscles, joints and ligaments of the neck.

Symptoms can include neck pain and stiffness, headaches, reduced movement and discomfort extending into the shoulders or upper back. Symptoms can vary from person to person and may not always appear immediately following an injury.

If you've experienced an injury and are experiencing neck pain, it's important to have your symptoms appropriately assessed. Early assessment can help you understand what may be contributing to your symptoms and how best to manage them.
