Neck Pain

Neck pain is a common problem, almost as common as back pain, as it affects the same structure base, though it can be caused from a number of different spinal problems. 

Neck pain can be the result of tight muscles in the neck and/or upper back, or if a nerve becomes pinched within the cervical vertebrae of the spine. Most commonly, neck pain is the result of stress, whiplash, poor posture, or a fall.

Treatment will vary depending on the cause of the pain but can include the application of heat and/or ice, posture training, low level cold laser, and physiotherapy for joint mobilization and manipulation. Studies have shown that a combination of physiotherapy based exercises and joint mobilization to be beneficial in treating both acute and chronic cases.
