Modern sedentary lifestyles drive a rising tide of back and neck problems — most are muscular, all are treatable with the right plan.
Neck problems can cause pain in the neck, shoulder, mid-back, arm or head. Back problems can cause pain in the back, groin, hip or legs.
These symptoms may be caused by injury to any of the structures around your spine — and identifying which is the first step toward effective treatment.
If pain persists for more than 3 months, an assessment will determine the cause. X-rays or MRIs can exclude serious conditions where needed.
Most back and neck pain is muscular — caused by long periods of sitting or repeatedly lifting heavy objects. Lack of exercise, excess body weight and poor diet often make it worse. Stress is a frequent contributor too: it causes stiffness and spasm in the muscles around the spine.
Initial assessment by a doctor identifies the most likely cause and guides treatment. We explore lifestyle, provide adequate pain relief and build a plan of action with input from a physiotherapist who will release tension and design the right stretching and exercise programme for quick recovery.
