Neck pain & treatment
Common neck injuries that we treat.
Locked joints
Pain is usually sharp and often occurs when rotating the head to a particular side. Locking of the neck joints commonly happens after sleeping awkwardly, playing sports or sudden movement. Pain can also be felt into the shoulder, elbow, wrist and fingers. Treatment is usually relatively quick and often be resolved in one session. Gentle joint mobilisations, soft tissue massage and gentle stretches are usually the treatment of choice. |
Trapped nerves
Pain can often start in the neck and travel up and down the arm. Pins and needles, a numbness feeling and muscle weakness may also be present. With all trapped nerves, treatment is aimed at removing the compression. Treatment is relatively quick and is similar to the treatment of locked joints. Treatment should also look at why the injury happened in the first place. |
