You have probably convinced yourself that it is nothing, and that the pain will go away by itself, especially if you ignore it long enough. But the constant pain and stiffness makes it difficult to ignore. In fact, it’s probably having a negative effect on your life and you’re definitely not sleeping well.
You might have been told that ‘resting’ your neck (easier said than done) or avoiding those activities that cause you pain will make the pain ‘magically’ go away. IT WON’T! In fact, your neck pain will probably get worse and your neck will get stiffer than when it all started.
Neck pain is an awful condition. It affects your normal movement, making it harder for you to get around. This has an enormous impact on your self-confidence. You can’t turn round, driving is difficult, looking after children is nearly impossible. Even doing simple tasks like getting dressed can be a challenge. You become OVER cautious when living your life and eventually your neck becomes weaker and even stiffer.
You shouldn’t have to live with neck pain. We often get asked…
“WHY IS IT HAPPENING TO ME"?
Or
"WHY AM I STILL SUFFERING FROM NECK PAIN"?
Sadly, the majority of people who come to see us at our Relive Physiotherapy Clinic in Chester for neck pain have had bad advice from somebody or looked ‘neck pain’ up on the internet. I’m sure you are familiar with the scenario; ‘you should rest’, ‘just take some painkillers and you’ll feel better’, ‘wait and see how you feel.’ But days, weeks, months (and sometimes even years) later, nothing has changed, and the neck pain is worse than it was before. The advice you took wasn’t right, as painkillers only treat the pain and not the problem and rest rarely addresses the cause of the pain. You’ve followed the advice that you’ve had, but you’re a way down the road and fundamentally, nothing has changed.
If you don’t do the right things, then your neck pain will be an unpleasant companion in your daily life. Lots of our clients think that because they are ‘getting older’ it means that it is inevitable. WRONG! The pain may have made them give up the activities that they love – gardening, golf, playing with the children or grandchildren, sport, walking, DIY or painting, but they don’t need to abandon these activities for ever.
When you have persistent pain, in this case, in your neck, you get confused. There is so much information out there, be it from the internet (which is often conflicting) or from well-meaning family members or friends who are not medically trained and don’t really understand the complexity of your issue. You’re at a loss as to what you should do, so you generally end up doing NOTHING and trying to live with the pain. If you are suffering from a painful or stiff neck, you probably believe it was caused by something, such as sleeping awkwardly, or even just turning your head too quickly. But the truth is often so different. It may have been caused by years of poor habits which have caused the neck muscles to get weaker and the pain that you are feeling is just the EFFECT of those poor habits.
Neck Pain is a lot more common than you might think and nobody should have to suffer in silence. At Relive Physiotherapy, we hear all of the above from people who have neck pain on a regular basis. In fact, they tell us:
I thought the pain would go away by itself, but it DIDN’TI’ve been told that everyone my AGE gets this, and I’ll just have to ‘Put Up With It’ I went to see my GP – they gave me painkillers and told me to rest. It felt better for a while, but as soon as I stop taking the medication, my neck pain was backI found some exercises on the internet, but they didn’t help, only made it worseI went to see a massage therapist. It was nice and pleasant at first, but it didn’t fix my pain long term
I’ve been to see all manner of people and tried what they recommended but nothing they said or did seemed to help
