Neck pain

In most people, neck pain develops as a result of repetitive incorrect movements or positions – poor posture, a hunched neck from working at a computer or looking at a mobile phone, non-ergonomic equipment at work that makes our head and shoulders “drift” forward, stress and, in general, an incorrect movement pattern when lifting loads.

The constant load on the neck muscles, especially the trapezius, which do not have time to recover, leads to muscle tension, better known as muscle spasm, a pinched nerve or neck stiffness.

If neck pain is treated inadequately or the problem is ignored, it can cause headaches, dizziness and tingling in the arms. Thanks to the individual approach that we particularly emphasise at our physical therapy centre, we strive to resolve the CAUSE of neck pain for our clients as quickly and thoroughly as possible, so that they can return to their everyday lives as soon as possible.

Some of the most common neck diagnoses we treat are:

• Neck pain (acute or chronic cervicalgia);
• Tingling in the arms (read more here);
• Neck stiffness;
• Disc herniation (read more here);
• Muscle spasm;
• Whiplash injuries;
• Headaches.

On your first visit, we carry out an examination and assessment and start therapy for neck pain. We identify and pinpoint the cause of the neck pain. The entire therapy depends on the diagnostics, which is why it is crucial to carry them out thoroughly. Neck pain diagnostics consist of inspection, palpation and assessment, and on the basis of all of this we define the next steps in neck pain therapy. In therapy, we combine manual therapy (massage, mobilisation, various special manual techniques), high-tech devices – TECAR therapy and SIS (Super Inductive System) therapy – and kinesiotherapy for a long-term solution to neck pain!
