Neck Pain
What is Neck Pain?
It is often the most mundane of tasks that can catch us off guard when we have neck pain, like reversing the car, checking your blind spot or changing that blown ceiling bulb. At other times it’s waking up with that ‘crick’ in your neck again, and finding yourself glaring at your pillow as though it betrayed you in your sleep and muttering in your head… ‘We had a deal, fluffy! You were supposed to support me!’
Though neck pain might appear insignificant to many, and we’ve put somewhat of a light-hearted spin on it here, we know it can profoundly influence your daily activities. In fact, it ranks among the top five for chronic pain issues— visit our website blog ‘Function & Flourish’ where we look at this topic in more detail. Although there are multiple causes for neck pain, the most common by far— and one we see on a regular basis is mechanical neck pain.
Mechanical neck pain tends to be multifactorial in origin, meaning excluding major trauma (i.e. a massive articulated lorry hasn’t just driven over it!) there tend to be a combination of reasons for the pain. That’s why we utilise all our ‘neck know-how’ to help unravel the potential reasons behind your neck ache.
Not only do we take the time to listen carefully to your concerns and the impact the pain is having on your lifestyle, but we also delve deeper into your physical, orthopaedic and neurological health.
The reason we do this is that our approach to patient care is highly personalised, tailored specifically to you. Our treatment plans are a two-way collaboration where we look at working on the problem with you as well as providing the hands-on treatment you expect.
Our initial priority is always to do our utmost to get you back on form as swiftly as possible. But more than that we want to make sure you understand the ‘why’ as well as what you can do to minimise any future incidences. As part of that we make sure that we are right for you and your situation. If we’re not? Not only will we tell you right there and then, but we’ll also point you in the direction of someone more suitable— this also includes referring you for any specialist tests or imaging studies.
In short, if a Chiropractor who provides clear, straightforward, advice and treatment for relief from neck pain is what you are looking for— that is what we’re here for!
