Neck pain is any type of pain and discomfort in the upper back and neck region. The pain can be caused by turning or moving the head. You could experience tension and soreness in the shoulders and lower neck. Neck pain can also be caused by weak neck muscles, accidents and injuries, and repetitive movements and motions.
At Physiotherapy First, we offer physiotherapy treatments in Brampton for neck pain with our client-centred services to provide our patients with exceptional quality of care while acting with integrity and accountability that is in the best interest of our patients.
Our physiotherapists understand that it is essential to treat more than your neck pain. Your underlying causes and symptoms must also be treated to help you fully recover. As such, we work with each of our patients to create a customized treatment plan that reflects their needs and objectives.
Some people also experience cervicogenic headaches due to neck pain. This condition is caused when there is tightness and stiffness in the neck from weakened muscles overcompensating to support the weight of the head.
The physiotherapy treatments and services used to treat neck pain depend on the underlying causes and symptoms you are experiencing. Some of the most often used treatments and services that help relieve neck pain include:
Massaging the muscles, ligaments, and soft tissues in the neck and upper back can help release tension and stiffness to alleviate pain.
Manipulating the alignment of the spine and neck using manual therapies can help alleviate neck pain, as well as take pressure off pinched nerve endings.
Small electrical impulses are used to help stimulate the muscles, improve blood flow, and speed healing for faster recovery.
Applying cold packs or heat packs to the base of the neck can be used to address swelling and soreness and bring relief.
Exercise that focuses on the neck, upper back, shoulders, and core to strengthen the neck muscles and bring stabilization is often beneficial in resolving neck pain.
Some of our patients find that acupuncture treatments can help alleviate their neck pain as part of their customized treatment plan.
Please remember, the treatments and services that are best for you will vary depending on the underlying causes and symptoms of your neck pain.
Our goal is to alleviate your initial pain and discomfort while providing you with treatments to help make your body stronger. During your initial visit, a detailed examination is conducted. Your physiotherapist takes the time to discuss your condition, provide you with education about the condition, and offer advice on what treatments and services are available.
You will also be encouraged to ask questions and provide input on the type of treatments and services you believe would benefit you the most. We find that when we include our patients in making decisions about their care and treatment, they feel more involved and in control of their recovery.
