Neck Pain can have many causes such as arthritis, nerve entrapment, muscle tension, headaches, sleeping awkwardly, whiplash, etc.
Pain may be felt for example in the neck muscles, in the neck joints or vertebrae, the shoulders, or the base of the head. Pain can
be referred from the neck and cause pain to radiate down the arm, to the back or to the head.
An osteopath can help treat neck pain using a range of osteopathic techniques, such as massage to relieve muscle tension,
mobilisation to improve joint flexibility, and manipulation to align the spine. Exercises and advice can also be given to help
improve treatment effect and to improve neck and muscle flexibility.
Headaches can be triggered by neck problems, postural problems, stress, muscle spasm, eye problems, and many more. Osteopathy may
help relieve headaches if caused by tension, muscle spasm, neck pain, joint restriction or postural problems.
