Many of our clients come to our physiotherapy clinic seeking relief for their neck pain. Whether the neck pain occurs after prolonged sitting in front of a computer, after a bad night’s sleep, an accident, or as a result of other physical activity, physiotherapy can help identify the root cause and alleviate the pain.

Neck pain can present with different symptoms such as pain felt in the neck or shoulder region, feelings of stiffness and tension, or restricted neck movement. Other signs may include headache as well as referred pain and symptoms affecting the arm and hand such as numbness, tingling, or weakness.

At your first visit, our physiotherapists will take your history to identify details of your neck pain (such as onset of neck pain, how long you’ve been experiencing the pain, activities that cause the neck pain to feel worse, etc.) as well as do a thorough physical assessment to uncover the signs and symptoms of a neck injury.

Following the assessment, an individualized treatment plan for neck pain physiotherapy will be developed for you which may include techniques such as hands-on manual therapy and mobilizations, heat therapy, stretching and targeted exercises to help you not only eliminate your neck pain but also prevent it from reccurring.

In addition, your physiotherapist may recommend adjunct treatment with a registered massage therapist. Massage therapy for neck pain can be an effective treatment alongside a comprehensive physiotherapy treatment plan.

Physiotherapy can help with neck pain and get you back to feeling normal. Contact us today to book an assessment at our physiotherapy clinic in Mississauga with one of our experienced physiotherapists!
