You probably know how frustrating it can be and you are probably wondering why this is happening to you. This is why you are searching for options for neck pain physiotherapy or treatment.

Neck pain can range from being nagging while doing work at your computer, to neck pain that can be so severe and debilitating, that it is affecting all aspects of your life.

Many people think that their neck pain will just go away on its own, only to find out when they awake the next day it is still there.  Many people even have neck pain for more than 6 months and then they finally give in and want a solution to fix their neck pain.

Maybe you are barely able to get through your work day or need to take many breaks at work, and take pain medication to get through the day.

Maybe you can barely turn your head and find it difficult to drive, or have stopped playing sports because of your neck pain and muscle spam.

Many people have seen their Doctor for neck pain and been told that they need time off work to relax, and to pop anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants or even worse, opioids.

Did your Doctor do an MRI and say they found nothing? This is also very common. Or maybe they took an X-Ray and said you have Disc Degeneration.

Does any of this sound familiar?

Neck pain is a common condition in Toronto, however what are some reasons your neck pain is not going away?

• You have not done any neck pain physiotherapy or treatment for your neck pain and thought it would just go away……but it’s not
• You continue to work a job that is majority sitting and have developed muscle imbalances that need to be corrected
• You took your Doctor’s advice to pop pain pills and rest however this did nothing
• You tried treatment from another health care professional or physio and it did not work
• You went to another health care professional or physio and they only used a heat pack, IFC or TENS (that tingling machine)
• You tried massage and found that you would feel a little better, but then the pain would just return because the problem was not fixed
• You went to a physio, however, they just gave you some exercises which seemed to do nothing
• You went to a health care professional who cracked your neck, and that is all that was done every session
• You went to a clinic where you did not get enough 1 on 1 attention, because the health care professional was treating multiple patients an hour
• You went to a physio clinic and rarely saw the physiotherapist and received treatment by assistants, only to be told many treatments later that you need to do your exercises more by the physio when they finally reassess you.
• You went to a physio or health care professional who did not have an expertise in neck pain physiotherapy or treatment

“Headaches, face pain, jaw pain, vertigo, dizziness, shoulder pain, and arm pain can all be caused from neck pain.”
