Mechanical Neck Pain
Mechanical and postural neck pain is a common condition that affects many individuals, especially those who work in sedentary jobs
Effective Relief for Neck Pain Caused by Poor Posture or Mechanical Strain
If you're struggling with mechanical neck pain or discomfort due to poor posture, you're not alone. Many of us experience neck stiffness, tightness, or aching that builds up from long hours at a desk, working on computers, or even sleeping awkwardly. At Wickford Physiotherapy, our experienced team is here to help you identify the root cause and provide tailored physiotherapy treatment to restore comfort and mobility.
What Is Mechanical Neck Pain?
Mechanical neck pain typically arises from the muscles, joints, or ligaments in the neck. It’s often linked to poor movement patterns, muscle imbalances, or strain from day-to-day activities. This kind of pain can be dull, sharp, or radiate towards the shoulders and upper back.
Poor Posture & Neck Pain
Spending extended periods sitting at a desk or using digital devices can lead to poor posture neck pain. Slouching or leaning forward places extra strain on the neck and upper spine, leading to muscle fatigue, stiffness, and long-term discomfort if left untreated.
Common signs of postural neck pain include:
- Aching or stiffness in the neck and upper back
- Reduced neck movement or flexibility
- Headaches originating from the base of the skull
- Pain that worsens after sitting or working for long periods
