What you can expect
Neck pain and back pains are usually caused by an injury to the ligaments or joints and this can cause further pain to the nerve and muscle. Patients often refer to this as feeling like a trapped nerve.
Back ache and pain may be caused by a recent event such as sport, gardening or DIY or may be an accumulative injury that you thought would go but hasn’t.
At the initial consultation you will be asked to complete a health questionnaire and registration form. Following this a thorough initial physical assessment to identify the source of your injury and symptoms will be carried out. You will be asked questions about your health, medical history, hobbies, work and lifestyle in order that the safest form of treatment can be selected.
The findings will then be discussed with you and advice with regard to work, sport and activity will also be discussed so you will know what to expect and do after treatment.

Your treatment

- Ergonomic Analysis and Advice
Treatment is different for every patient but will involve various massage techniques, joint articulation to relieve tension and stretching of muscles to assist with stiff and painful joints.
