Neck Pain Chelmsford

We know that neck pain can be scary, but thankfully, most neck pain can be helped, with the right treatment. Neck pain generally falls into the category of joint pain, ligament or muscle strains, disc injuries, or nerve compressions. Treatment for each of these complaints varies, and we are guided by you as an individual as to how we treat you.

Our osteopaths take the time to discuss the history of your problem and understand your lifestyle. We then take you through a movement assessment to see how your whole body moves and work out why your neck has become compromised.

Treatment will be unique to you and will help to deal with all the factors in your body and lifestyle discovered in the case history and assessment.

How we help with Neck Pain?

When diagnosing neck pain, we look at the relationship between your neck and the rest of your body, and also take into account lifestyle factors so we can get you out of pain as quickly as possible, and help keep the problems at bay.

The possible causes of Neck Pain?

Most cases of neck pain aren’t caused by serious damage or disease but by minor sprains, strains or injuries, or a pinched or irritated nerve. These types of neck pain can be triggered by everyday activities at home or at work, or they can develop gradually over time.

Twisting Awkwardly

An unexpected twist can catch the neck and strain the joints

Whiplash

Caused by a traffic accident or heavy fall

Hunched Posture

Too much time at the computer or looking at our phones can be the problem

Slouching In Chairs

Fallen asleep on the sofa? Don’t worry, we see it all the time! Not great for necks…

How We Treat Neck Pain?

We have a number of possible treatments for neck pain. During your initial consultation we will identify the correct solution that is completely tailored to you.

Commonly, treatment will involve a combination of massage, mobilisation (which is where we stretch and move joints without clicking them) and manipulation of the neck, shoulders, back and even the hips. When it comes to the manipulation (where we ‘click’ joints), this is only used in a minority of cases and there are always other options available if you do not want to have it done.

We also prescribe exercises to help the changes in your body last and to help you take control of the problem yourself.

Your osteopath will always explain your treatment and you can ask questions at every step of the way.
