Sharp pain or low-grade constant aching in your neck can prevent you from functioning properly during your daily activities.

Many people are able to find neck pain relief every year thanks to physiotherapy. Amped Physiotherapy is dedicated to providing you with the relief you need and deserve.

What Is Neck Pain?

Neck pain can occur for any number of reasons. Typically neck pain goes from the base of the skull to the top of the shoulder blades and settles in the very back of the neck. The severity of the pain can vary from a dull ache to a sharp and stabbing pain, and sometimes, neck pain even includes additional bothersome symptoms. Below are a few:

Discomfort and pain when remaining in the same position for too long
Loss of sleep due to pain and discomfort
Arm weakness
Stiffness and muscle tightness in the upper body
Numbness or tingling into the upper extremities
Inability to fully stand up or sit up straight
Headaches
