Neck Pain That Won't Go Away?
Neck pain is extremely common in Vancouver — whether from hours hunched over a laptop, the tension that builds up in an office job, an old sports injury, or a car accident. The neck is a complex structure, and pain here often comes with headaches, shoulder stiffness, and upper back tension that compounds the problem.
At Envision Physiotherapy, we assess the neck as part of the whole kinetic chain — understanding how the thoracic spine, shoulders, jaw, and posture all contribute to neck symptoms. This comprehensive approach means we treat the root cause, not just the symptoms.
Neck Conditions We Treat
- Acute and chronic neck pain
- Tension-type headaches and cervicogenic headaches
- Whiplash and motor vehicle accident injuries
- Cervical radiculopathy (nerve pain radiating into the arm)
- Tech neck and postural-related neck pain
- Disc-related neck pain
- Post-surgical cervical rehabilitation
- TMJ dysfunction and jaw-related neck pain
Beyond Just Treating the Neck
Our treatment for neck pain goes beyond manual therapy on the cervical spine. We address the full picture — thoracic mobility, scapular positioning, postural habits, jaw tension, and stress. IMS dry needling is particularly effective for releasing the deep cervical muscles that are difficult to reach with manual therapy alone.
For patients with chronic neck pain related to postural habits — common in desk workers — we often combine physiotherapy with clinical Pilates to retrain movement patterns and build long-term resilience.
