Expert Solutions for Neck Pain

Neck pain is something that we treat on a daily basis in our clinic. Whether caused by poor posture, an injury, or stress, neck pain can limit your movement, cause discomfort, and disrupt your daily life.

The great news is that the vast majority of neck pain presentations are not serious. Neck pain responds very very well to physiotherapy, with patients experiencing quicker recoveries and better long-term results than those who do not seek physiotherapy.

At Mid West Physiotherapy, our goal is to get to know you and to understand the unique causes and circumstances of your neck pain, so that we can help you to regain your strength, mobility and comfort, and get you back doing the things that you love best.

The most important part of our assessment is listening to your story; we aim to find out how neck pain is affecting your life and the factors that aggravate and ease your pain. By building an exact profile, we can tailor a treatment programme for you that aims to improve function, restore comfort and lead to a faster recovery.

Typically you will be given a tailored exercise programme to do at home; we will encourage you to follow this as it will greatly enhance the speed and efficacy of your recovery. Your physiotherapist will support and guide you through every stage of the recovery process; we will track your progress, make adjustments as needed, and celebrate each milestone.

All of our physiotherapists at Mid West Physiotherapy are highly trained and experienced in treating neck pain. Any one of our team would be delighted to create a recovery plan with you to resolve your neck pain and get you back doing what you love best.

Your treatment plan will focus on both relieving your pain and improving your long-term mobility. We will explain every step of the process so you can feel confident in your care.

Our treatment techniques include:

Your physiotherapist will incorporate the most appropriate treatment techniques and modalities into your recovery programme. 

In most cases you will not need an x-ray or MRI, unless you have been advised to do so by a doctor or physiotherapist.
The frequency of visits will depend on your pain/injury, treatment goals, and progress. In the early stages of recovery, you may need to visit weekly. As you improve, the frequency will decrease, and you may transition to home exercises. Your physiotherapist will continuously assess your progress and adjust your treatment schedule accordingly.

Recovery time depends on the nature of the pain or injury and the treatment plan. Our physiotherapists will work with you to set realistic recovery goals and track progress to ensure a safe return to activity.

Rest may be necessary in early stages, but complete inactivity isn’t always necessary or indeed advised. Often, we recommend “active rest” – continuing to move and perform light exercises that don’t aggravate the injury. This helps with circulation and healing. Your physiotherapist will guide you on the best approach to rehabilitate your pain or injury, and get you back to full function.
Absolutely! Physiotherapy isn’t just for injury recovery – it’s also great for injury prevention. By strengthening muscles, improving flexibility, correcting posture, and enhancing technique, physiotherapy can help reduce the risk of pain recurrence or future injuries.

The UK Chartered Society of Physiotherapists has excellent resources on their website on neck pain; Here you will find evidence-based facts, videos and guidance to help you overcome your neck pain.
