Orthopaedics/Musculoskeletal
Neck and Back Pain
Neck and back pain will be experienced by over 80% of people throughout their lifetime. Symptoms range from an uncomfortable ache to intense pain, often radiating down the arms or legs. This can require both medical and physiotherapy involvement. A Physiotherapist will provide a detailed assessment of the structures in the neck and back to establish the source of the pain.
Once the cause of pain has been determined, a variety of techniques will be used to alleviate symptoms. A specific exercise programme will be provided along with postural and ergonomic advice. Evidence has shown that commitment to a simple strengthening programme from your Physiotherapist vastly reduces the recurrence of back and neck pain.

- Whiplash
