Your Symptom: Neck Pain

How Fiveways Physiotherapy can help you:

• Identify what triggered your pain
  

• Injury
  The most common causes of neck injuries are motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries or occupational accidents. The injury may be to the vertebrae, joints, discs, nerves, ligaments, or muscles.
  
• Posture
  Bad posture leads to poor muscle balance, which can cause neck pain by overstretching ligaments, altering the neck joints or nerve alignment, and causing the muscles to tire.
  
  
• Identify any underlying cause
  Your Fiveways Physiotherapy physiotherapist will explore a variety of things that may be causing, contributing to, or aggravating the situation.
