Back Pain and Neck Pain Care

Suffering from chronic back and neck aches? You’re not alone – studies have shown that over 80% of adults are bound to experience this at some point in their life and it is slowly becoming one of the most common reasons why people miss work. These aches could be contributed by a inactive lifestyle or improper workplace ergonomics for deskbound workers which result in various aches and strains.

Very often, neck and back pain is not isolated and can travel to other regions of the body and cause referred pain such as headaches or arm aches. Whether or not you are feeling a sharp pain, stiffness or experiencing an inability to fully move your head or body it can be very uncomfortable and frustrating. The good news is that most times, these strains and aches can be solved.

At Core Concepts, our team of physiotherapists are skilled to use a variety of manual therapy, massage, exercise therapy and other integrated services such as Functional Training and Pilates to reduce your pain and prevent recurring injuries.

Some of the common causes of back and neck pain are:

• Cervicogenic Headaches
• Pinched nerve
• Scoliosis
• Slipped Disc
• Spondylosis 
• Whiplash

While back and neck pain are common, the diagnosis is usually specific to you and requires a thorough assessment with a physiotherapist to determine its cause. It is important to take care of that aching back or neck as prolonged pain can not only affect your quality of life, but not attending to your aches could lead to a worsening of your condition.
