Neck Pain Pain – Expert Osteopathic Treatment in Medway
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends manual therapy, including Osteopathy, for non-specific neck pain (NICE CKS, 2015). This includes pain caused by poor posture, muscle strain, sports injuries, and even stress-related tension.
Neck pain can be localised or radiate to the head, causing headaches, or down to the shoulders, arms, and upper back. If a nerve root is irritated - often due to a bulging disc or age-related changes in the facet joints - you may experience:
- Pins and needles
- Numbness or weakness in the arms or hands
- In severe cases, symptoms extending into the legs
Common Causes of Neck Pain
- Poor posture or prolonged computer use
- Sleeping position
- Stress, anxiety, or depression
- Osteoarthritis (wear and tear)
- Disc bulge or prolapse
- Muscle strain
- Whiplash injuries
