Physiotherapy for Neck Pain
When Can Physiotherapy Help with Neck Pain?
Neck pain can impact much more than just your neck. You may also experience shoulder discomfort, difficulty finding a comfortable sleeping position, or stiffness when turning your head.
Consider an assessment if you are experiencing:
- A stiff neck
- Difficulty turning your head
- Whiplash
- Recurring neck pain
- With or without shoulder discomfort
- Symptoms aggravated by sitting at a desk
- Neck pain affecting your every day life including sleep
- Ongoing discomfort following a strain
- Poor posture
If pain travels into your arm, or you have pins and needles or numbness, you may need medical assessment. Check new or worsening symptoms promptly;
What Causes Neck Pain?
Neck pain can arise from various factors, and it doesn't always have a single identifiable cause. Common contributors include muscle strain, prolonged poor posture, changes in physical activity, injuries, or irritation around the joints and nerves.
Your Neck Pain Assessment at Mossley Physio
During your assessment, we prioritise understanding your symptoms and how they affect your daily life. We will discuss when the pain started, what makes it better or worse, your medical history, and the activities you would like to resume.
Depending on your symptoms, your assessment may involve:
- Evaluating neck and shoulder movement.
- Assessing strength and functional abilities.
- Examining sensation, reflexes, and nerve function, if necessary.
- Discussing your work, sleep patterns, exercise routine, and daily activities.
We will explain our findings and collaborate with you to create a treatment plan. If your symptoms require medical investigation or referral to another service, we will guide you on the next steps.
Neck pain treatment tailored to you
Your treatment will depend on your assessment, preferences and goals. It may include:
How We Treat Neck Pain
There isn't one treatment that works for every neck problem.
Your treatment programme will be based on your assessment and individual goals.
Depending on your presentation, treatment may include:
Exercise Rehabilitation
Progressive exercise is often an important part of neck rehabilitation.
We may work on mobility, neck & shoulder strength and control before gradually progressing towards the activities you want to return to.
Hands-On Physiotherapy
Manual therapy may be incorporated where clinically appropriate to help improve movement and manage symptoms alongside active rehabilitation.
Medical Acupuncture
Medical acupuncture may be considered as part of your treatment programme where appropriate.
Sports Rehabilitation
If your goal is returning to the gym, swimming, golf, racket sports, throwing activities or another sport, we can progressively build your rehabilitation towards those specific demands.
Advice & Self-Management
Understanding your condition is an important part of recovery.
We'll help you understand which activities you can continue, what may need temporarily modifying and how to progressively rebuild your shoulder's capacity.
Neubie Therapy
Where appropriate, you'll undergo a mapping assessment for us to pin point areas of pain. We then complete exercises assisted by the neubie machine for electrical stimulation assistance.
