Neck and Shoulder Pain Treatment
Neck pain is one of the most common problems we treat at Cameron-Mitchell Osteopaths. Most patients feel better after just a few osteopathic treatments.
Neck and shoulder tension happens for many reasons. Poor posture, stress, and injuries all cause pain in this area. This pain often spreads to your arms, hands, face, and jaw. Neck problems also cause cervicogenic headaches.
Whiplash injuries damage neck ligaments, making your muscles work harder to support your head. Forward head posture makes your head heavier and strains the supporting muscles and bones. Poor neck posture can also cause jaw pain.
We will explain why you have neck pain, give you a clear diagnosis, and create a treatment plan with self-care advice.
Common Neck and Back Pain Complaints:
- Muscle aching at the neck base and shoulders
- Stiff neck that stops you turning your head
- Neck disc injuries
- Whiplash injuries
- Tingling in face, arms, or hands
- Jaw problems
- Sudden neck stiffness
- Tinnitus
What your pain feels like
Pain varies depending on the cause. You might have sharp pain when moving your head, aching across your shoulders and arms, or intense pain in your hands. Neck and shoulder pain often disturbs sleep because it’s hard to find a comfortable position.
How We Treat Neck and Shoulder Pain
We start by examining your movement and checking how your neck works. For neck pain or headaches, we check your blood pressure and test the nerves in your face, neck, arms, and legs.
We then create your osteopathic treatment plan with hands-on techniques, exercises, and posture advice. Some patients use our gym for shoulder pain or posture problems.
For headaches alone, we find the cause and may recommend other specialists for nutrition, lifestyle, or medical issues.
Our osteopaths use gentle, effective techniques to reduce your pain and restore normal movement. We also teach you how to prevent future problems.
