The neck is involved in almost every movement of the head and takes part in everyday activities like computer work, driving, and sleep. Prolonged load, an awkward posture, or a sudden movement can cause pain or stiffness.
Here you’ll find information to help you understand the common causes and the treatment options.
How I treat neck pain
Neck pain often comes with headaches, dizziness or pain radiating to the arm. In the first session I assess movement, posture and daily load patterns, and build a plan that treats the source, not just the symptom.
Common conditions
Frequently asked questions
No. Prolonged sitting can contribute to the load, but stress, physical activity, sleep, or degenerative changes can all be part of the causes.
In most cases, gentle, controlled movement is better than avoiding movement altogether, as long as it doesn’t significantly worsen the pain.
Not always. In most cases you can start with a clinical assessment, and only refer for further tests if needed.
It varies depending on the cause and the load, but many patients feel significant improvement with appropriate treatment and guidance.
When to get checked
It’s worth getting checked if the pain lasts several days without improvement, limits movement, or radiates to the arm. If the pain appeared after a significant injury or is accompanied by significant weakness or numbness, it’s recommended to get checked promptly.
