What causes neck pain?
The majority of neck pain episodes are brought on by strained muscles or sprained soft tissues (ligaments, tendons), but they can also be brought on by an abrupt impact (whiplash). These kinds of neck discomfort frequently go better over time with non-surgical treatment like physiotherapy. But if neck discomfort persists or gets worse, a specific problem may be present that has to be treated. Neck pain, mobility restriction, and decreased general function can all be caused by cervical degenerative disc disease, cervical herniated discs, cervical stenosis, and cervical arthritis.
How Does Physiotherapy Work for Neck Pain?
Physiotherapy begins with an assessment of your neck movement, strength, flexibility, symptoms, and functional limitations. Your physiotherapist may also consider your work, exercise, posture, daily activities, and any injury or event associated with the onset of your symptoms.
Based on the assessment, treatment may include therapeutic exercises, mobility work, strengthening, manual therapy, and education about movement and activity. Your treatment plan is tailored to your symptoms and individual goals and can be adjusted as your condition changes.
