Is Neck Pain affecting your quality of life?
Why painkillers and visits to your GP are not the answer!
Most patients who have experienced neck pain often wake up one morning much worse than when they went to sleep and therefore, understandably, think that the problem will go away just as quickly. That one day they will wake up and get out of bed pain free, able to be fully active again.
The problem though is that neck pain can often be a build up of many weeks, months or years of misuse from incorrect posture, work stresses, sport stresses, etc. And the morning you wake up with increased pain can just be the culmination of these.
Does this sound like you?
Perhaps you have been to your doctor, who prescribed painkillers and told you to rest. To make another appointment if it gets worse. And then, several weeks later, you revisited your GP because nothing had changed, only to be given even stronger painkillers which still didn’t help.
Maybe you are confused? You can’t quite work out where the pain is? Different people are offering you conflicting advice, but you just want to get back to your normal pain-free life.
The neck is a very complicated part of the body. It can be difficult to work out exactly why you are getting your pain, often leading to confusing and contradictory advice.
Because of this, people understandably begin to accept their pain as just a part of life and resign themselves to the fact that they have no choice but to continue living in discomfort.
We don't believe you should live with Neck Pain
If you are currently living with neck pain, these are the 5 most common things we hear from patients just like you in our clinics:
- I thought the pain would simply go away on its own after a period of rest, but it didn’t.
- I went to the doctors, thinking they would help, but was prescribed painkillers which did nothing to relieve the pain.
- A family member told me that everyone gets pains as they get older, it’s just normal and you have to live with it.
- I’ve been to healthcare professionals in the past, but they weren’t able to help.
- I’ve tried resting and applying ice, but the pain simply won’t go away.
