Neck Pain

If you have suffered with neck pain, you know how debilitating it can be. Aside from stiff muscles that can have you reaching for pain killers, this condition can make the smallest cough or sneeze painful and deprive you of a good night’s sleep.

Sadly, patients with neck pain are often misdiagnosed and may be given the wrong advice and treatment as a result. This means that the problem can get worse over time, leaving you with persistent pain and a reduction in head and neck mobility. In the majority of cases, patients can be treated effectively and move on to happy, pain free lives, but the right help is needed. In the case of ongoing neck pain, the only real answer is to see a specialist pain doctor.
