Specialist care for neck pain in Basingstoke
What is neck pain?
66% of adults experience neck pain at some point in their lives.
Neck pain can either occur gradually or suddenly. Either way, the impact of the condition can be significant and prevent you from working, doing daily chores or even concentrating. I approach neck pain holistically, identifying the multiple factors that may be involved in driving the discomfort. I then create a treatment strategy that promotes long-lasting physical resilience and symptom management.
How neck pain might show up
Neck stiffness
Muscle spasms
Reduced range of motion of the neck
Headaches
Radiating pain to the upper back, shoulder or arm
Referred pins and needles, tingling or numbness in the arm or hand
My approach
I address neck pain with an active recovery approach.
This means regular movement of the problematic area to help desensitise the tissues, aid healing and improve functional mobility.

Answering your neck pain questions
-
Yes! Physiotherapy can be highly effective in managing acute and chronic neck pain.
-
This is dependent on the nature of the neck pain and the severity of the condition. For example, a severe muscular strain within the neck typically takes 8-12 weeks to fully recover. Whilst a mild strain may only take 2-4 weeks. If your neck pain is related to a chronic degenerative condition such as spondylosis, the aim will be to manage the neck pain and symptoms long term rather than aiming for a full recovery. Other conditions such as a cervical herniated disc typically takes 6-12 weeks for most people to recover.
