Neck and Shoulder Pain

Comprehensive care for neck and shoulder discomfort.

Identifying causes and impacts on daily life.

Understanding Neck and Shoulder Pain

Neck and shoulder pain often result from injuries to soft tissues, including muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Common causes encompass poor posture, overuse, trauma, and degenerative conditions like arthritis. These issues can lead to stiffness, headaches, muscle spasms, and restricted movement, significantly affecting daily activities and quality of life.

The interconnectedness of the neck and shoulder regions means that dysfunction in one area can influence the other, complicating diagnosis and treatment. For instance, a neck problem may manifest as shoulder pain and vice versa, necessitating a comprehensive approach to care.

Our Approach

Personalised strategies for effective relief.

At Renew Physiotherapy, we adopt a holistic approach to treating neck and shoulder pain, focusing on:

  • Comprehensive Assessment: Conducting thorough evaluations to identify the root causes of pain and dysfunction.

  • Manual Therapy: Utilising hands-on techniques to alleviate muscle tension, improve joint mobility, and reduce pain.

  • Exercise Prescription: Developing tailored exercise programs to strengthen muscles, enhance flexibility, and support recovery.

  • Postural Education: Providing guidance on maintaining proper posture to prevent recurrence and promote long-term health.

Common Conditions We Treat

Our experienced physiotherapists manage various conditions, including:

  • Cervical Radiculopathy: Nerve compression in the neck causing pain, weakness, or numbness radiating into the shoulder and arm.

  • Rotator Cuff Injuries: Tears or inflammation in the shoulder's rotator cuff tendons leading to pain and limited movement.

  • Tension Headaches: Headaches originating from neck muscle tension, often accompanied by shoulder discomfort.

  • Postural Strain: Pain resulting from prolonged poor posture, such as 'tech neck' from extended device use.
