Back and neck pain

The causes of back and neck pain

The pain can start in your muscles, joints, ligaments, nerves, or the tissue around them. Finding the true cause is the real challenge and it differs for everyone. It could be poor posture, muscle strain, stress and tension, or something more medical like a herniated disc, an injury, a pinched nerve, or something else entirely. 

How can physiotherapy help with back and neck pain?

Physiotherapy helps identify what's really causing your back and neck pain, then treats it with hands-on care and exercises tailored to you. Often, the area that hurts isn't where the problem started, which is why your physiotherapist looks at how you move and how your body works as a whole. The way you move, combined with everyday pressures like long periods sitting, poor sleep and stress, can put more strain on your muscles, joints and discs than they can handle. Over time, this builds into pain, which is why physiotherapy focuses on relieving the cause, not just treating the ache.
