Treatment for neck pain at Body Zest- Banstead

Osteopathy

Osteopaths treat a lot of neck pain. Many people think it has become more common, which may be due to our increased usage of electronic devices and more sedentary lifestyles. Our Osteopaths (in the same way we would for lower-back pain) will always examine the area and all other areas which may be affecting the neck.

Osteopaths often find that shoulder dysfunction or tension in the mid back can cause neck pain. This is due to the neck compensating for these other areas. However, your Osteopath may find that there’s a problem with the neck itself- which could be something like chronic tension or wear and tear.

Osteopaths often treat the spinal column of the neck to release restrictions in movement. We also reduce muscle tension in the area. After this, we’ll use the information from the examination process, and address other areas which may be affecting the issue.

Sports Therapy

We all know that we hold our stress in our neck and shoulders! Whether its ongoing stress or working behind a screen, often there’s something cause your neck and shoulder tension to hang around.

Sports massage therapy is a great way to keep on top of neck tension and prevent it from becoming too uncomfortable. Regular treatment not only only helps to prevent longer-term injuries, but also gets you feeling loose and relaxed straight away.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is another excellent way to deal with neck pain. Our Acupuncturist will combine treatment to relieve the local tension with a holistic approach regarding the the whole body.

Acupuncture is often used to help relieve and manage stress better. This is because Acupuncture will combine talking and the emotional aspects of every patient’s symptoms, with the use of therapeutic techniques. Due to the impact of stress on the neck and shoulders, as well as hormonally, getting help dealing with your stress itself will very often help to reduce pain in the neck and many other areas of the body.
