Osteopath for Neck Pain in Ipswich

Neck pain can be unpleasant and demotivating when it begins to prevent you from moving freely. If left untreated, neck pain and stiffness can begin to cause discomfort in other areas of your body such as your upper back, arms and shoulders, as well as potentially causing headaches. 

There are a series of common causes for neck pain, ranging from the obvious to reasons you may never have thought may have an impact. If you are unsure of the reason behind your neck pain, consider the following:

• Muscle strain

• Whiplash

• Postural issues

• Stress, anxiety, depression

• Disc bulge or prolapse

• Osteoarthritis

• Awkward sleeping positions

• Prolonged computer use

• Long distance driving

• Accidents or sports injuries

  Staying mobile and active during the working day is hugely important in preventing and managing neck pain. If you are working from home at a desk for prolonged hours, try to optimise your set up with a supportive chair and adjusting your monitor to a height and distance that is both comfortable and allows you to maintain a healthy posture. If you require help in identifying the best solutions for you, we are happy to help with this.

How can Osteopath in Suffolk help with your neck pain?

There are many methods of treatment we can use to help relieve the joints in your upper back and neck. We will work to realign tired neck and upper back muscles which have been overused. Following your treatment, you should feel more relaxed and less tight, while benefiting from neck and shoulder movements with significantly less pain.

Alongside physical treatment, we will advise and offer guidance on lifestyle ‘tweaks’ and habits that can help to optimise your posture and help to ensure long-term relief from the neck pain you’re experiencing and prevent recurrences - ensuring free movement.
