Neck Pain
Assessment and personalised care to help improve neck movement,
reduce discomfort and support your return to normal daily activities.
Understanding Neck Pain
The cervical spine is made up of seven vertebrae that allow the neck to
flex, extend, rotate and bend from side to side. This movement helps us
observe our surroundings and orient ourselves within our environment.
Neck pain may develop after relatively minor movements, such as sleeping
in an awkward position or turning too quickly. It can also occur following
motor vehicle accidents, sporting impacts, falls or other traumatic
injuries.
Because the joints of the neck are located close to the cervical nerves,
some injuries may also cause pain, weakness, headaches or symptoms that
travel into the shoulders and arms.
