Most people think that when they get Neck Pain, it's just going to go away on it's own.
That they'll wake up one morning and like "magic", it'll be as if neck pain never happened...But then 6 months later you're still living with neck pain - often even worse than it was when it come on.
Another scenario we see all the time in our physio clinic is when people go to the Doctors, and the Doctor tells them to rest and "try these painkillers" to "see how it goes" - but then 6 weeks later, they end up going back to the same Doctor again because it hasn’t got any better, only to be given ANOTHER prescription of even stronger pills.
Maybe you are confused because you've been told different things, by different people. Maybe you think you have a neck problem - but it's actually your neck where the problem is? It's a very confusing part of the body to work out where the problem is, and this often leads people to procrastinate and put off making a decision about what to do to help fix their Neck pain. Worse, many people just end just accepting it as 'part of life' - as if it's normal, as if it "has" to be that way.
If any of these have happened to you - we would love to help you by inviting you to book a call to talk with one of our physios at our Sittingbourne or Maidstone Physiotherapy Clinic to find out what can be done to help you. The fact that you’ve tried any or all of these things already is actually a GOOD THING because when you know what doesn’t work - you are closer to finding the thing that does!

Well, here's 4 things you can do:
1. First off, you need to make a decision about getting help. So many people procrastinate for so long, thinking that the pain will ‘just go away with time’, but then 6 months down the line they’re still putting up with it, and nothing’s changed… Or it gets worse
2. Next, do the RIGHT exercises - one of the best things to help you ease your neck and/or neck pain is to do the right series of progressed exercises - the right exercises given to you by a Physiotherapist will help reduce pain, and allow you to move freely again quick - and make sure that the problems don’t come back any time soon.
3. Avoid sitting and sleeping in awkward positions - ever woken up with a painful neck? Or, after a long day spent sitting felt tightness in your neck? That’s because one of the worst things you can do that adds to neck pain is sitting with bad posture, and sleeping in awkward positions. It would really help if you were given appropriate strengthening exercises for better posture, alongside hands-on treatment, to get you active and healthy as quickly as possible.
4. Get real, “hands-on” Physio - Physio is proven to help people with neck and neck pain. In fact at Xcel Health it’s one of the most common issues we see. If your neck pain is affecting your job, if your sleep is disturbed by tightness or tension in your neck, if it stops you from keeping active, or if it threatens your independence and gets in the way of spending quality time with family and friends - Physiotherapy can help get you back to living the life you deserve as quickly as possible.
