NECK PAIN HOW MANUAL THERAPY CAN BRING YOU RELIEF
Neck pain, fortunately, can be alleviated with manual therapy. Because neck pain is often caused by activity, changing your activity can relieve it. Sometimes, this “activity” means “no activity.” Before you contact a professional, try reducing your neck movements. Sometimes, simply letting your neck muscles relax is enough. If you don’t see relief within two weeks, contact a professional. Manual therapists (Physiotherapists, Chiropractors, Massage Therapists, Acupuncturists and Osteopaths) can target your pain’s source by examining your symptoms. Then they can offer exercises that stretch, flex and relax your neck muscles. In time, your neck will
become more resilient — giving you the comfort you deserve. Where after-care treatment is considered, custom-tailored neck exercises will assure your neck stays loose, limber and healthy. If you’re dealing with neck pain, you’re not alone. Call your nearest Equilibrium location today and schedule an assessment. Even if your neck pain is caused by stress, it still needs attention. We’ll work side by side with your goals, creating the proactive, effective programs you need to achieve mobility once more. Sources: spine-health.com/blog/how-relieve-neck-pain-caused-stress
