We treat neck pain at our Roxboro clinic in the West Island, from desk-related stiffness and tension headaches to whiplash and nerve-root symptoms. Your physiotherapist finds what’s driving yours and treats it with hands-on care and targeted exercise. No doctor’s referral needed to book.
Symptoms
If you can’t check your blind spot without turning your whole torso, you know neck pain. It shows up as stiffness, restricted movement, a dull ache, or sharp catches with certain head positions. It often comes with tension headaches that start at the base of the skull. Pain or pins-and-needles down the arm suggests a nerve-root component.
Causes
- Sustained posture: desk work, screens, driving
- Sleep position
- Acute strain from sudden movement
- Whiplash from a motor-vehicle accident or fall
- Disc irritation pressing on a cervical nerve root
- Cervicogenic headaches and migraines
How we treat it
Assessment locates the symptomatic levels and the patterns of restriction. Treatment combines manual therapy to restore movement, dry needling for stubborn muscle tightness when indicated, and exercise to retrain the deep neck flexors and shoulder stabilizers. Education on positioning during the day usually accelerates results.
