Understanding neck pain
Neck pain is a common issue that can range from mild discomfort to severe stiffness, affecting movement and daily activities. It can result from poor posture, stress, injuries, or underlying medical conditions. If left untreated, neck pain can lead to headaches, shoulder pain, and reduced mobility.
At our physiotherapy clinic in Bramhall near Stockport, we specialise in assessing and treating neck pain, helping you regain movement and live pain-free.
Common causes of neck pain
Neck pain can be caused by various factors, including:
- Poor posture: Often caused by long hours spent at a desk, looking down at screens, or improper sleeping positions
- Muscle strain: Overuse, sudden movements, or carrying heavy bags
- Whiplash injuries: Common after car accidents or sudden jolts to the neck
- Cervical disc issues: Herniated or degenerated discs causing nerve irritation
- Arthritis and wear and tear: Osteoarthritis and age related degeneration leading to stiffness
- Stress and tension: Emotional stress can cause muscle tightness in the neck and shoulders
Types of neck pain
The nature and location of your pain can indicate its cause. For example:
- Acute neck pain can be due to sudden pain from injury, strain, or sleeping awkwardly
- Chronic neck pain- this is persistent discomfort lasting weeks or months
- Stiffness and reduced mobility, which can include difficulty turning the head, is often linked to posture or arthritis
- Radiating pain or nerve symptoms- includes pain travelling to the shoulders, arms, or causing tingling (potentially due to nerve compression)
