Symptoms We Help With

​Our treatments can relieve and manage symptoms like:

  • Muscle spasms or tightness in the neck or shoulders

  • Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arms or hands

  • Difficulty maintaining posture or performing daily activities due to pain

​

What Are Causes of Neck Pain?

Neck pain can result from a range of factors, such as:

  • Postural Issues: Prolonged slouching or looking down at devices can place extra strain on the neck 

  • Muscle strain: Overuse from activities like lifting or repetitive movements

  • Injuries: Whiplash, sports-related trauma or falls

  • Degenerative conditions: Wear and tear from ageing or conditions such as fibromyalgia, spinal stenosis, or infections can also contribute to neck pain

  • Stress and tension: Emotional stress can often cause tightness in the neck and shoulder muscles

  • Workplace ergonomics: Improper desk or chair setups

​
