Neck pain is a common condition caused by muscle strain, poor posture, injuries, or conditions like cervical spondylosis. Physiotherapy is an effective treatment to relieve pain, restore mobility, and prevent recurrence.

Common Physiotherapy Techniques for Neck Pain

Manual Therapy:

• Hands-on techniques, such as soft tissue massage, mobilization, and stretching, to relieve muscle tension and improve joint mobility.

Exercise Therapy:

• Strengthening exercises for neck and shoulder muscles to support posture and prevent strain.
• Stretching routines to improve flexibility and reduce stiffness.

Postural Correction:

• Training to correct poor posture, often a root cause of chronic neck pain.

Electrotherapy:

• Use of modalities like ultrasound, TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation), or IFT (Interferential Therapy) to reduce pain and inflammation.

Heat and Cold Therapy:

• Application of heat to relax muscles or cold packs to reduce swelling and numb acute pain.
