Neck Pain

Neck pain, either acute or chronic is one of the top three reasons a patient attends Exeter Chiro & Physio. It refers to a pain anywhere around the neck (and commonly referring into the shoulders as well). The origin of the pain can be the muscles of the neck, the ligaments, joints, or nerves of the cervical spine.

This type of pain is becoming more prevalent in society due to the increase use of phones, tablets and laptops. As a consequence we are seeing more patients with neck pain due the bad posture associated with using those devices.

The first step in helping create pain relief is to first identify the precise origin of the pain. This is done through a detailed medical history and physical examination. Once the source of the pain is determined, a course of treatment can be started to best promote health in healing in the area, and get the patient pain free as fast as possible.

Treatment for acute or chronic pain in this area consists of gentle and specific adjustments. This restores neck movement and improves nerve flow giving the customer neck ache relief. Additionally soft tissue work such as massage is performed to improve blood flow and promote rapid healing and get the customer feeling better as fast as possible.
