Is your neck movement restricted? Is it hard to turn? Is it hard to look up at the ceiling?
If yes to any of these your neck pain is most likely a result of condition affecting the joints, muscles or tendons in your neck.
Does your pain spread? Pain can develop in the neck and may spread to your shoulder, down your arm to your fingers, up to the base of the skull and over your head. If a nerve is irritated you may also experience pins and needles or numbness in parts of your arm or hand.
Factors that can contribute to this include tension and sustained or repetitive activity such as sitting at a desk at work, using the telephone for a long period of time, playing a musical instrument, driving long-distance and using tablets or smartphones.
Are your headaches are becoming too frequent, wearing you down, making it difficult to concentrate, causing you to be tired and grumpy? Are you struggling with day to day activities, and are your relationships suffering?
Did you know this sort of headache can be caused by problems with your the upper neck? These headaches are called cervicogenic headaches.
First of all it is necessary to confirm if your headaches are coming from your neck. To determine this we will examine your upper neck looking to reproduce your headache and the associated symptoms, reproducing your headache and related symptoms is key to diagnosing cervicogenic headaches but we do understand that this can be quite a worrying prospect.
If the headache isn’t brought on by testing the joints in your neck it would indicate that your headaches are not cervicogenic. The benefit of testing this in the first assessment will make it clear whether or not physiotherapy can help.
Once we have identified the source of the headache there are a number of different modalities you can use to improve the function of your upper neck are resolve your headaches. We can guide you through each one.
When you come for an assessment we will examine your neck and identify the cause of your symptoms. Once we have diagnosed this we will design your own personalised action plan for rehabilitation.
