Neck Pain Treatment

With the ability to affect your focus, work, and everyday activities, neck pain can be a debilitating and very challenging condition. That’s why, at CBR Clinic, we provide effective neck pain treatment in London and tailored therapy to help you find long-lasting relief and grab life with both hands once more. 

Ranging from a mild ache to chronic pain, neck pain can manifest as discomfort, sharp pain, or stiffness in the cervical spine. It commonly restricts movement and can impact day-to-day life. While pain severity and symptoms will vary, some of the most common include:

• Stiffness
• A reduced range of motion
• Pain that radiates to the arms or shoulders
• Muscle spasms
• Headaches or migraines

Neck pain can be a result of various factors including:

• Poor posture especially in those that work from a desk
• Muscle strain as a result of overuse or awkward sleeping positions
• Injuries including sporting activities and whiplash
• Underlying medical conditions like herniated discs, nerve compression or arthritis

If left untreated, neck pain can become more severe and there is the risk of chronic issues. This is why it is so important to seek medical help if you are suffering from neck pain in London.

At CBR Clinic, we know that pain can take over your life. What’s more, we also know that often all it takes is a professional assessment and a tailored care plan to help you get back to doing what you love. That’s why our professional physiotherapists will conduct a comprehensive assessment to determine the root cause of your pain. This might include:

• A physical examination to understand tender areas or where you have restricted movement
• Imaging tests for deeper analysis and insights 
• Medical history review to understand previous injuries and gain insight into certain lifestyle factors

Armed with this information, we are then able to recommend the best course of action to not only treat your existing pain but prevent neck pain from occurring again. 

At CBR Clinic, we offer a range of evidence-based treatments alongside contemporary remedies to relieve pain and restore mobility. This includes:

• Physiotherapy to strengthen muscles and improve flexibility
• Stretching to release tension in the neck and shoulders
• Massage therapy to reduce tightness and promote relaxation
• Shockwave therapy to stimulate healing in soft tissue
• Acupuncture to aid pain relief and boost circulation
• Hot and cold therapy to soothe discomfort and reduce inflammation

We may also recommend a series of lifestyle modifications and provide tips for ergonomic adjustments to improve posture and work setups. 

Small changes to your daily routine can be beneficial in treating and preventing neck pain. For example, ensuring you have good posture and that your spine is aligned when sitting and standing can help. Using supportive pillows, designed to keep your neck in a neutral position when you sleep may also be recommended. As well as this, you should avoid sitting for long periods of time and incorporate gentle exercise and movement into your day. Swimming, walking and yoga can strengthen the muscles in your neck, back and shoulders. 

Don’t worry about knowing where to start however as our team will provide personalised guidance and advice to help you effectively integrate these changes into your life.

While you will be able to get temporary relief from at-home remedies such as hot and cold therapy, for effective and long-lasting relief professional evaluation is often required. That’s where our team comes in, ensuring that any underlying issues are addressed. What’s more, we offer a holistic approach to your care, combining therapies and lifestyle advice so that you are supported from start to finish.
