Neck Pain Relief

Fast Relief For Your Neck Pain With Physiotherapy, Chiropractic, and Massage Therapy

Neck pain can cause debilitating and extremely uncomfortable sensations, especially if the pain stretches from your neck down to your shoulders. Approximately one-third of the population will experience neck pain in any given year. It can get worse if left untreated, and in severe cases, may refer pain into the arm and hands.

Your neck is an integral area of everyday movement, and sharp pains can prevent you from functioning properly in your day-to-day life. Whether your neck pain presents difficulty when trying to sit up straight in your chair at work or tilting your head down to tie your shoes. The Ottawa Health group team of practitioners can help get you back to a normal, pain-free function. Many people are able to find relief from their neck pain every year through the help of chiropractic, massage, and physiotherapy. Our Ottawa and Kanata, ON chiropractic, massage, and physiotherapy practices are dedicated to providing you with the relief you need.

Neck pain: defined

There are a number of reasons why neck pain may occur. When someone experiences neck pain, it typically runs from the base of their skull to the top of their shoulder blades, finally settling in the back of the neck. The pain can vary in severity, from a constant dull ache to sharp and stabbing pains. Neck pain can sometimes include additional symptoms, including but not limited to:

  • Headaches
  • Stiffness and muscle tightness in the upper body
  • Numbness or tingling into the upper extremities
  • Discomfort and pain when remaining in the same position for too long
  • Loss of sleep due to pain and discomfort
  • Arm weakness
  • Inability to fully stand up or sit up straight

Why do I have neck pain?

Neck pain is most commonly caused by injury to the tissues or bone structures in the neck; however, certain degenerative conditions can also lead to neck pain. Some common conditions that give you a pain in your neck include:

  • Injuries. Whiplash is one of the most common injuries that results in neck pain, typically sustained by an automobile or high-impact sports collision. This is known as a “strain” injury, causing the head to whip rapidly back-and-forth, thus affecting the soft tissues in the back of the neck. 
  • Muscle strains. The muscles in your neck can become strained by overuse. Even something as simple as sitting at your desk all day with your neck craned toward the computer screen can lead to a strain on your neck muscles.
  • Nerve compression. If you have a herniated disc in your neck, or narrowing of the foramen (space where the nerves exit the spine), the nerves that branch out from your spinal cord can become compressed. In some cases, nerve pain can even extend from the neck all the way down to the hands and fingers — a condition known as “radiculopathy.”
  • Illnesses. Certain diseases and ailments can result in neck pain, such as rheumatoid arthritis, meningitis, or cancer.
  • Joint degeneration. Much like any other joint in your body, the neck joints can erode with age, causing pain. Conditions such as osteoarthritis can also reduce the cartilage between the vertebrae in the neck, also resulting in neck pain.

How will chiropractic, massage, and physiotherapy solve my neck pain issues?

Chiropractic, massage therapy and physiotherapy are the best methods for treating neck pain. At Ottawa Health Group, our chiropractors, massage therapists, and physiotherapists will conduct an initial physical evaluation to analyze the range of motion in your neck, as well as any limitations you have due to your pain. They will then create a diagnosis that will determine the make-up of your treatment plan. You will work together to understand the goals and expectations of each step in your individualized treatment plan, with the main focus being overcoming neck pain and recovering as quickly as possible.

Treatments for your neck pain will most likely include manual or “hands-on” therapy, which consists of special techniques designed to reduce the stiffness of your neck and improve its range of motion. An Ottawa or Kanata, ON chiropractors, massage therapists, and physiotherapists will also provide you with targeted exercises that will strengthen, build, and improve the muscles and tissues in your neck. We will focus on improving your posture to aid in the recovery of your neck muscles, as well as avoiding re-injury in the future. Additional treatment services may include ice and heat therapy, acupuncture and/or dry needling, as our chiropractors, massage therapists, and physiotherapists deem fit. 

Don’t let your daily discomfort be a pain in the neck any longer. Contact our office to speak with one of our licensed Ottawa or Kanata, ON chiropractors, massage therapists, and physiotherapists today and schedule your initial appointment! We will help you get started on the road toward long-lasting pain relief.
