Common neck pain concerns
Neck pain may be linked with posture, desk work, stress, injury, sleeping position, driving, gym training or movement sensitivity. It can sometimes be accompanied by headaches, shoulder discomfort or upper back stiffness.
How support may help
A suitable practitioner may assess neck movement, symptoms, strength, lifestyle factors and activity demands before suggesting advice or rehabilitation where appropriate.
What to mention in your enquiry
Mention where the pain is, whether it travels into the arm, whether you have tingling or numbness, how long it has been present, and what activities make it better or worse.
When to seek urgent help
Seek urgent help if neck pain follows serious trauma, or comes with sudden weakness, numbness, chest pain, severe headache, fever, confusion, dizziness, fainting, or symptoms that feel severe and unusual.
