Neck pain or a stiff neck are extremely common and can affect your life in so many different ways. Whether it be sharp neck pain, dull muscular aches, headache, or an inability to fully move your head, a sore neck can be very frustrating yet it's simple to fix in the majority of cases. The best treatment for your neck pain is determined entirely by the specific reasons for WHY you are suffering neck pain. Your physiotherapist is highly skilled at the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical neck pain and headache. Posture correction is important but it does depend upon the availability of enough joint and muscle flexibility to attain a good posture, plus muscle strength and endurance to maintain your good posture. Any deficit will need to be addressed. We understand that your neck pain may not be solely about stiff or wobbly joints or tight/weak neck muscles. There is a whole gamut of information that your physiotherapist will assess during your diagnostic consultation and then commence the correction of your individual problems. Fortunately, the vast majority of neck pain does come from your neck joints and muscles. Researchers have shown that a combination of neck joint and muscle treatment performed by your physiotherapist and some specific strengthening exercises are an effective way to eliminate your neck pain, stiffness and headaches.
