Head & Neck Pain
Understanding Head & Neck Pain
Head and neck pain are common conditions that can significantly affect daily life. Whether it’s persistent headaches, stiff neck muscles, or pain radiating to the shoulders and arms, these symptoms often result from poor posture, muscle strain, or underlying conditions like arthritis. At ActiveCare Physiotherapy & Rehab, we provide personalized treatment plans to address the root cause of your discomfort and promote long-lasting relief.
Causes of Head & Neck Pain
Head and neck pain can arise from various factors, including:
- Muscle strain or tension from prolonged computer use or poor posture
- Whiplash injuries or trauma from car accidents
- Cervical spine conditions, such as herniated discs or arthritis
- Stress and tension headaches, often linked to tight neck muscles
- Nerve compression in the cervical spine
Identifying the specific cause of your head and neck pain is essential for effective treatment and long-term relief.
