Neck Pain

Your neck supports the weight and movement of your head and also contains the vast majority of nerves that connect from your brain to the rest of your body. With the amount of driving, computer work and other daily activities that most of us do, it is not surprising that we may need a little chiropractic help to keep our necks pain free.

What causes neck pain?

Neck pain is a common problem that can affect people of all ages. It may develop suddenly following an injury, awkward movement or sporting activity, or it can build gradually over time. Modern lifestyles place significant demands on the neck. Long hours spent looking at computers, tablets and mobile phones, poor posture, repetitive movements, driving, stress and tension can all contribute to neck pain. Previous injuries, such as whiplash, may also lead to ongoing stiffness and discomfort. We are also seeing increasing numbers of teenagers and young adults presenting with neck pain, headaches and postural problems. This is likely linked to prolonged use of mobile devices, tablets, laptops and gaming consoles, often combined with extended periods spent sitting and looking down at screens. Over time, these habits can place significant strain on the muscles, joints and ligaments of the neck. In some cases, neck pain may be accompanied by headaches, shoulder pain, arm pain, numbness or tingling due to irritation of the joints, muscles or nerves in the neck.

Is neck pain common?

Neck pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints we see at Newbury Chiropractic Centre. Whilst symptoms can range from mild stiffness to severe pain and restricted movement, most cases respond well to conservative treatment.

Without appropriate treatment and advice, neck problems can become recurrent and may begin to affect work, sleep, exercise and everyday activities.

How can chiropractic help?

At Newbury Chiropractic Centre, our experienced chiropractors regularly assess and treat patients suffering from neck pain.

Your chiropractor will carry out a thorough consultation and examination to identify the cause of your symptoms and determine the most appropriate treatment plan for you.

Treatment may include chiropractic adjustments, joint mobilisation, soft tissue therapy, rehabilitation exercises and postural advice. By improving joint movement, reducing muscle tension and restoring normal function, we aim to relieve pain and help you return to your normal activities as quickly as possible.

We also provide practical advice regarding workstation set-up, posture, exercise and lifestyle factors to help prevent future episodes.
