Understanding what’s behind your neck pain is the first step to effective treatment.
Neck pain can come from a number of conditions, and each needs a tailored approach.
Often caused by poor posture or overdoing it, strains lead to tenderness and restricted movement.
When a disc in the neck is damaged, it can cause pain and sometimes tingling or numbness in the arms. Prompt diagnosis helps prevent complications and speeds recovery.
Commonly linked to road traffic accidents, whiplash happens when the head is jerked back and forth, straining the neck muscles and ligaments. Good management afterwards is vital to restore normal movement.
Our osteopaths carry out a full assessment to find the underlying cause, so we can choose the most appropriate treatment to get you moving and ease discomfort.
Neck pain can make everyday life harder. We focus on finding the cause rather than just treating symptoms, using hands-on techniques such as stretching, massage and gentle manipulation of muscles and joints to improve movement, reduce tension and restore balance. We’ll also teach you exercises and lifestyle changes to help stop the pain coming back.
Neck pain can come from posture, injury or stress. We take your medical history, lifestyle and activities into account to build a plan that brings both short-term relief and long-term recovery.
Your plan may combine myofascial release, joint mobilisation and therapeutic exercise. We’ll set achievable goals together and track your progress, adapting treatment as you improve.
We give you exercises and self-care to do at home, so you can strengthen your neck, improve your wellbeing and reduce the chance of future problems.
Headaches and migraines can disrupt daily life and affect your mood as well as your body. We combine treatment with practical lifestyle changes to help reduce how often they happen and how bad they are.
We assess your posture and muscle tension to find what’s contributing to your headaches, then use techniques such as myofascial release and gentle cranial work to ease tension. Osteopaths can help with headaches arising from the neck and with migraine prevention.
We’ll help you spot and avoid triggers such as certain foods, dehydration and stress. Regular exercise, a balanced diet and good sleep can make a real difference to how often headaches happen.
