NECK CARE
Expert Care for Neck Pain
We help you regain mobility and reduce discomfort through evidence-based chiropractic care, tailored specifically to the unique needs of your cervical health.
Signs and Diagnosis
Common Signals
- Persistent aching or sharp discomfort in the cervical spine. Limited neck movement and stiffness. Migraines or secondary headaches. Tension in the upper back and shooting arm numbness.
Primary Roots
- Sedentary workstation posture. Natural age-related changes and joint wear. Impact injuries including whiplash. Compressed nerves. Our team helps identify these issues to start recovery.
When to Seek Urgent Aid
Please visit A&E or call 999 if pain follows major trauma, or if you experience sudden limb weakness, loss of bowel/bladder control, high fever, or a severe, rigid neck stiffness.
How We Assess Neck Pain
Our assessment begins with a comprehensive physical examination and clinical history. We utilize advanced imaging, such as X-rays or MRI results when necessary, to look beyond the surface. By checking nerve function and structural alignment, our Uxbridge specialists identify the precise triggers for your discomfort, from simple muscle strain to complex herniated discs.
Our Treatment Path
We focus on non-invasive manual therapy and physical rehabilitation. Treatment typically includes gentle joint mobilization to restore motion, targeted soft tissue therapy to release tension, and a bespoke exercise plan to strengthen supporting muscles. Our goal is to provide immediate relief while building long-term resilience against recurring neck pain.
How long does neck pain usually last?
Most acute neck pain improves within a few days or weeks with proper care. Chronic issues lasting over 3 months require a structured assessment.
Can neck pain cause headaches?
Yes, cervicogenic headaches are common. Tension in neck muscles and joints can refer pain back up to the base of the skull or forehead.
When should I seek urgent help for neck pain?
Seek immediate care if neck pain follows an injury, or if it is accompanied by severe weakness, persistent numbness in arms, or sudden balance issues.
What is a common cause of neck stiffness?
Frequent causes include 'text neck' from prolonged phone use, poor desk ergonomics, and sleeping in awkward positions.
