Possible Causes of Neck Pain."I see 5 different possible causes of Neck pain in clients at my physiotherapy clinic."
So, what are the possible causes of your neck pain? The causes of neck pain are many - that is, there are many incidents and conditions that can trigger neck pain. You may have a hard time believing, however, that I have never seen a neck pain injury in a client who has good posture. In all of the neck pain injuries I see - the client always has a poor upper back or neck posture. Posture is ultimately the main underlying cause of neck pain and related injuries that I see. I frequently suggest to my clients who come to me to treat neck pain that their neck pain is due to the position that they work in. They often question me - they say that their friend who does the exact same job as them for many years has no pain - and therefore it cannot be true. Ultimately, we all have different natural postures: if we were born with a poor neck and back posture and have a seated job, neck pain will result eventually. However, if you are the lucky one born with a naturally good posture you can potentially sit forever without developing a neck pain. So, widening things a little - the main causes of neck pain that I see are:
Although the above are the main 5 causes of neck pain, the treatment of neck pain is the same for each. You must find the correct practitioner, who can diagnose the cause of your neck pain accurately. A proper diagnosis is followed by the appropriate manual therapy to correct any movement or alignment dysfunctions that are found. Subsequently, good posture correction and neck pain exercises will facilitate the correction of your movement disorder and strengthen the muscles needed needed to maintain correct movement. Remember, without the correct advice, your neck pain may re-occur. As always, the diagnosis of the cause is the essential factor in the full resolution of your neck pain and stiffness. To summarise, causes of neck pain are many but the success lies in the diagnosis and treatment. This involves assessment, manual therapy, posture correction and exercises.
