Neck Pain Physiotherapy is required when you have these symptoms:

  • Stiffness;
  • Restricted neck movements;
  • Grinding sound with neck movements;
  • Stiff nodes around neck muscles called trigger points;
  • Referring pain to the back of the head. (one side of the head, behind the eye, above the eyebrows, sides of jaws or in the arms and hands).

Neck pain specialist evaluates the misaligned bone in the neck, the restricted myofascial tissues, the muscular imbalance around the neck, front and back of the chest and works to correct them

Younger people working on laptops and phones usually have forward head posture and rounded shoulders which starts to give problems of trigger points and referred pains along with nausea and dizziness. Postural correction and computer ergonomics hold the key in effectively dealing with such patients. The younger population is also prone to prolapsed disc (slip disc) owing to higher neck mobility needs (the neck is also designed is a way that stability is compromised to meet the higher mobility needs). This problem presents as acute neck pain that appears suddenly and most of the time pain is referred to arms and even hands depending on the level of the cervical spine at which disc has moved out.

Fibromyalgia is also a condition that is on a rise in younger people, affecting females more than men, as a result of a hectic lifestyle and stress to which most of the people aren’t able to cope in metropolitan cities. Stress plays a great role; it takes a toll on our neck musculature and makes them stiff. A gentle massage at times is enough to ease this but frequent such episodes may lead to more severe and debilitating effect giving rise to a vicious cycle which is difficult to break and gives rise to regional pain syndrome. We at pain free physiotherapy clinic help you identify the root cause and help you get back a pain free neck.

Neck Pain Physiotherapy 1

Elderly patients generally complain of morning stiffness and pain which gradually improves as the day progresses. If the symptoms of Neck Pain persists in these elderly patients, they need to seek Physiotherapist assistance. This is mostly due to degenerative changes with age, which is normal, as aging is going to affect every individual sooner or later, in their later stages of life.

As the disc present between the vertebrae loses its water content and solidifies, it becomes thinner and as a result, the vertebral bones come closer and rub against one another during neck movement. This causes the formation of new bones called Osteophytes around the margins of the adjacent bones, which further reduces the space between the bones. This starts giving pain and stiffness in the neck. At times the Osteophytes are large enough to reduce the central canal diameter causing Canal Stenosis. This may present as numbness and tingling in both the hands if the stenosis is in the lumbar area (which is more common) presents as numbness and tingling in both the legs.

The vertebral canal is the central space through which spinal cord passes. In more severe cases, the spinal cord may get compressed, this can present with a more severe condition called Cervical Myelopathy. Patients will experience weakness in hands and legs and altered walking patterns.

Dietary considerations in healthy individuals with cervical pain.

Nutrition has also a role to play in patients suffering from neck pain. The change in work style in today’s world, people hardly spend time in the sun, and, the activity level has dropped drastically. Vitamin D3 deficiency is very common in almost all the patients we deal. With hypothyroidism getting very common in females the Vitamin D3 and calcium metabolism are affected. Diabetes is also on a rise with more young people getting affected with it (it is again because of a lifestyle change), nerves get weak, and so, vitamin B12 helps to keep a check to it. The micronutrients, which act as a catalyst and enhance metabolic activities in the body are usually present in water and salt, are absent in RO water and salts that we usually consume, so, eat and drink wisely to avoid these issues.
