Neck pain clinic

If you have neck pain, whether it’s as seemingly innocent as a stiff neck, or more severe chronic pain, it is important to seek help or advice from a physiotherapist. Neck pain can arise from a vast range of different issues, and should not be left undiagnosed in case it is a byproduct of a more serious health problem.

We aim to get to the root of your neck pain with our physiotherapy-led service. You’ll be in great hands with our highly skilled physiotherapists.

Diagnosis of neck pain will be handled by one of our specialist physiotherapists. Clinical findings will then be forwarded as needed to a specialist who will issue a bespoke treatment plan to ensure full recovery before discharge.

If you are experiencing any of the following neck pain symptoms, book an appointment with one of our consultants as soon as possible:

• Muscle spasm in neck. Neck spasms can be a result of overuse, emotional stress, poor posture, dehydration or exercise, and in worse cases whiplash, meningitis, spinal stenosis, torticollis or inflammatory conditions.
• Pain, tingling, numbness or weakness in your limbs or bottom. This could be due to a trapped nerve, or sciatica, where specifically the sciatic nerve becomes trapped.
• Neck pain and headache. Headaches can arise in connection with neck pain due to muscle strain, stress, injury, arthritis, or meningitis if associated with a fever.

Neck pain treatment can often occur without surgery. For example, treatment for trapped nerve may involve an exercise programme recommended by your physio, use of heat pads, acupuncture or painkillers if pain is severe. Patients with neck pain generally go on to live pain-free lives after treatment.
