NECK PAIN & STIFFNESS
Anyone who has suffered with neck pain knows how debilitating it can be. Slight movement of the neck can be incredibly painful, especially in the acute phase.
While as the condition becomes more chronic neck pain becomes more stiff, and sore with a dull ache. Limited and painful range of motion is usually present with this condition.
The neck is one of the most highly mobile structures in our body, which is why it is susceptible to injuries. There are many types of conditions that affect the neck including; whiplash, cervical torticollis, muscles and joint sprains, disc bulges and nerve compression.
Neck pain is one of the leading causes of disability in the western world, and is often closely associated with headaches.
Common Factors Contributing to Neck Discomfort:
-
Poor posture/spinal alignment
-
Prolonged Sitting/inactivity
-
Car Accidents (whiplash)
-
Ergonomic problems e.g. sleeping
-
Sporting Injuries and trauma
-
Overuse/ repetitive strain injuries
-
Underlying disease or pathology (rare)
What is the primary cause of cervical stiffness?
Once any rare underlying structural issues are ruled out, the most common cause of neck discomfort is mechanical in nature. This means the joints of the cervical spine are not moving as freely as they are designed to.
Mechanical restrictions create localized strain, muscle fatigue, and irritation to the surrounding nerves.
Poor alignment places unnecessary pressure on the delicate joints of the neck, accelerating wear and tear over time.
How our chiropractic approach supports your neck mobility:
At Chiropractic Centre Nicolas FREY DC, we take a holistic approach to your physical well-being. Rather than simply focusing on where it hurts, we evaluate how your entire musculoskeletal system interacts. Our initial consultation allows us to ensure we are the right fit for your needs, and if required, we will refer you to the appropriate professional.
If we can support you, we proceed with a comprehensive examination, performing functional, postural, and orthopaedic tests to locate the exact source of tension. From these findings, we design a personalised care plan to support your body's natural recovery.
Our approach combines precise spinal adjustments, joint mobilization, targeted muscle work, and specific rehabilitation stretches. We also analyze the daily lifestyle factors and ergonomics that led to the strain, helping you make simple modifications to prevent restrictions from returning.
We treat neck pain and stiffness at both our clinics on the Costa Blanca South. Visit our Torrevieja clinic (Tuesday & Thursday) or our San Miguel de Salinas clinic (Monday, Wednesday & Friday morning).
