​

Neck pain comes in two forms:

 

Acute Neck Pain

Acute neck pain by definition, has been troubling you for less than 3 months. Acute neck pain usually comes on rapidly and is often accompanied by a noticeable reduction in your neck's range of motion and intense discomfort. This type of pain can result from incidents that strain the neck, although many individuals report waking up with a stiff neck that gradually worsens over the following hours.

​

The reassuring aspect of acute neck pain is that it usually shows improvement over the following weeks, and under the guidance of our experienced Mount Eliza osteopaths, you give yourself the best chance to accelerate your recovery journey.

​

At YouMove Osteopathy, we employ specialized tools such as a goniometer to quantify your progress, providing you with tangible evidence of improvement. Once your pain level decreases and your range of motion improves, we provide practical advice to minimize the risk of recurrence.

​

Chronic Neck Pain​

Better referred to as persistent neck pain, chronic neck pain, by definition, has been troubling you for at least three months. Some people tell us they have suffered for many years.

​

The approach to this type of neck pain needs to be different. Injured tissues don't take years to heal so chronic neck pain requires us to consider the maintaining factors for your pain. This will involve assessing the way YouMove and treating according to your specific characteristics. It is also important that we have a good look at lifestyle factors such as posture, ergonomics, how long you spend sitting and minimising the effect that stress has on muscle tension.

​

Simple home-based rehab exercises can help, but anyone who has suffered chronic neck pain will know this often isn't the answer.

​

Pain that has been around for longer than three months is complicated. Even the transmission of nerve signals is altered in chronic pain, so you need to see an osteopath who understands pain to this complexity, an osteopath who will consider your case from an individual perspective.
