Find relief from Neck Pain & Stiffness in Tenby

Understanding Neck Pain

Neck pain is extremely common and can affect people of all ages. It may present as stiffness when turning the head, aching across the shoulders, or sharp pain with certain movements. 

For many, posture plays a major role - long hours at a desk, driving, or looking down at phones and laptops can all place extra strain on the neck. In some cases, neck pain may also contribute to headaches or even tingling or shooting pains into the arms and hands.

Common Causes of Neck Pain

• Muscle strain or tension from repetitive postures
• Joint stiffness or restriction in the cervical spine
• 'Whiplash' or sudden movement injuries
• Stress-related muscle tightness
• Age-related changes such as arthritis
•  Intervertebral disc changes or herniation, which may irritate nearby nerves and sometimes cause pain into the arm
