The ever rising stress levels and demands on an average person has increased in the incidence of neck pain and headaches.
This type of pain is characterised as a stiff neck and dull aching in the neck that spreads up into the base of the skull and around the head. It is accompanied by pain in the shoulder and mid back region of the body. In severe cases, the pain can cause referral into the arms and chest.
The cause of mechanical neck pain and what we call cervicogenic, neck related, headaches varies and is actually due to a combination of several factors, such as, sleeping incorrectly, stress, tension and sitting at computers or desks incorrectly.
These and many other repetitive strains on the neck causes muscular spasm and spinal joint restrictions which can become chronic if not assessed and treated accordingly.
As Chiropractors, we aim to release the muscular spasm by using various combinations of dry needling, electrotherapy, soft tissue massage, stretching and strengthening methods. We focus on restoring joint mobility by means of joint manipulations. Our patients are given exercises that help correct posture and release tension that will assist in alleviating the cause instead of treating the symptoms.
The Chiropractic way is a safe, affordable and effective to treat neck pain and headaches. Most medical aids are accepted and a discounted rate is offered to our cash patients. For more information or to book an appointment, contact us on 0782912406 or 031-9021507. Whatsapp 0814330551
