Neck pain is a common complaint affecting a large number of people, whether it involves occasional discomfort or chronic pain. Neck pain can be caused by various factors and may manifest as pain, stiffness, limited mobility, or even pain radiating into the arms and shoulders. At Fizio In Locco Center, we provide a comprehensive approach to treating neck pain, using the most advanced therapies to help you relieve pain and restore normal mobility.
Causes of Neck Pain
Neck pain can arise from various causes, with some of the most common being:
Poor posture and ergonomics
One of the most frequent causes of neck pain is poor posture, especially during prolonged sitting or working at a computer. Sitting with a bent neck or sleeping in an unnatural position can cause tension and pain in the neck muscles.
Injuries and strains
Neck injuries, such as whiplash (caused by a sudden jerk of the head, often in car accidents), can cause neck pain. Also, muscle or ligament strains can lead to pain and stiffness.
Degenerative changes and disc problems
Over time, the spine becomes susceptible to degenerative changes such as disc thinning, herniated discs, or spondylosis. These changes can cause pressure on nerve roots, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness in the neck and arms.
Nervousness and stress
Psychological factors like stress and anxiety can cause tension in the neck and shoulder muscles, resulting in pain and stiffness. This type of pain is often accompanied by tension in other parts of the body, such as the back and jaw.
Arthritis and other conditions
Arthritis and similar diseases, like osteoarthritis, can affect the neck joints, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. This condition is more common in older adults but can also occur in younger people.
Treatment of Neck Pain at Fizio In Locco Center
At Fizio In Locco Center, we apply a combination of advanced therapies to treat neck pain, ensuring long-lasting results and restoration of function. Our approach is personalized, and the therapies we use include:
Magnetic Therapy for Neck Pain
Magnetic therapy uses low-frequency magnetic waves that act on tissues by improving microcirculation and stimulating the body’s regenerative processes. This therapy is very effective in reducing inflammation and pain in the neck muscles, as well as relaxing muscle tension. It also helps accelerate recovery after injuries and strains.Electrotherapy for Neck Pain
Electrotherapy uses electrical impulses to stimulate muscles and the nervous system, reducing pain, improving circulation, and relaxing muscles. This therapy is highly effective in relieving muscle tension in the neck and reducing pain caused by injuries or degenerative changes in the cervical spine.Laser Therapy for Neck Pain
Laser therapy deeply penetrates tissues, reducing inflammation and speeding up the regeneration process. Laser impulses stimulate circulation and relieve tension, which is crucial for reducing pain and restoring neck mobility.Ultrasound Therapy for Neck Pain
Ultrasound therapy uses high-frequency sound waves to reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation. It acts deeply on tissues, relaxes neck muscles, and decreases stiffness. It is often used for treating muscle and ligament injuries in the neck.Manual Techniques and Massage for Neck Pain
Manual therapies, including massages and chiropractic techniques, are key to releasing tension in the neck muscles. Through precise massage techniques, our therapists work to relax tight muscles, improve circulation, and restore neck mobility. Chiropractic techniques restore normal cervical spine function, reducing pain and stiffness.Chiropractic Care for Neck Pain
Chiropractic care is one of the most effective treatments for neck pain, focusing on proper spinal alignment. Through precise manipulations, the chiropractor relieves pressure on nerve endings, reduces pain in the cervical joints, and improves mobility. Chiropractic treatments are especially effective when pain is caused by intervertebral disc problems or injuries.Hijama (Cupping Therapy) for Neck Pain
Hijama uses vacuum cups to improve blood circulation in the treated areas. For neck pain, this therapy helps reduce muscle tension and speeds up the body’s detoxification process, decreasing pain and improving neck function.Shockwave Therapy for Neck Pain
Shockwave therapy is highly effective for treating neck pain caused by severe muscle spasms. Acoustic waves stimulate tissue regeneration and improve circulation, enabling pain reduction and faster recovery from injuries and tension.
