I hope that you have been enjoying the series of articles that we have been doing recently on physiotherapy topics and interesting research areas but today I thought that we could return to having a look at our physiotherapy service in Tamworth and areas such as Amington, Glascote, Fazeley and Hopwas. In this blog I thought we could look briefly at how our home visit physiotherapy service helps patients with neck pain in Tamworth.

Neck pain is an extremely common problem and our physiotherapists see a lot of patients in Tamworth that are having problems with their neck or upper shoulder area. Often these people are doing a lot of work at a desk a lot or have a job that involves a large amount of sitting such as driving for a living. Sometimes their neck pain is intermittent and it comes and goes and only lasts for an hour or so but at other times it becomes more persistent and causes time off work. Our physiotherapists are able to assess the underlying cause of these neck problems and provide hands on treatment, exercises and postral advice to help reduce pain and stiffness. Mostly the pain is located in the neck and upper shoulder area (trapezius muscle) but occasionally patients can have pain in the fingers or hand (this happens when a nerve is trapped).

There are many and varied causes of neck pain and the best way to recover from an episode of neck pain and reduce the chances of it returning is to have a full assessment with a chartered and experienced physiotherapist. They will be able to assess the range and qualtity of movement in your neck, shoulders and upper back, examine your posture and determine what is causing your neck pain. Once the physiotherapist has completed a full assessment and has a diagnosis they will then be able to provide effective treatment which will include soft tissue massage, spinal manipulation, stretches, exercises and postural advice in order to alleviate your pain.

Our physiotherapists offer a home visit physiotherapy service in Tamworth and areas such as Amington, Glascote, Fazeley and Hopwas and will be able to visit you at home in Tamowrth to assess and treat your neck pain.
