Whitfield, Cairns - Queensland
If you’ve got neck pain, stiffness or an ache – it’s very tempting to think that it’s nothing, that it will go away on its own. Or, you might pass it off as having just over done it, or that it’s just a “ache” or a bit of stiffness that “everyone” your age suffers from…
There’s no obvious reason why it happened – but it doesn’t seem to be shifting and its been there a good while now.
If that’s happening to you, you’re not alone – and we hear this type of thing all the time. In fact, long term neck pain is one of THE most common problems that we see in Proactive Physiotherapy.

Neck pain can arise from various reasons, including poor posture, muscle strain due to overuse or injury, whiplash from accidents, degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis, or herniated discs in the cervical spine.
Diagnosis often involves a physical examination by a healthcare professional to assess range of motion, muscle strength, and any signs of nerve involvement. Imaging tests like X-rays, MRI, or CT scans may be ordered to identify specific issues.
Treatment for neck pain often includes rest, pain management (e.g., medication or injections), physical therapy, exercises to improve neck strength and flexibility, ergonomic adjustments, and sometimes, in severe cases, surgery.
Recovery time varies based on the cause and severity of the neck pain. Acute cases might improve within a few days or weeks, while chronic neck pain might require ongoing management and take longer to alleviate.
While rest is essential in the acute phase, prolonged bed rest isn't recommended. Gradual return to normal activities and gentle neck exercises, as advised by a healthcare professional, can often help with recovery and prevent stiffness.
Maintaining good posture, avoiding prolonged periods of sitting or standing, using ergonomic workstations or pillows, regular neck stretches, and strengthening exercises can help reduce the risk of neck pain.
It's advisable to seek medical attention if neck pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by weakness or numbness in the arms or hands, or if it follows an injury or trauma.
In some cases, chronic neck pain might lead to headaches, restricted mobility, or nerve-related issues if left untreated. Seeking timely medical advice can help prevent potential complications.
Yes, certain exercises targeting neck muscles and improving flexibility can alleviate neck pain. Your healthcare provider or physiotherapist can recommend specific exercises tailored to your condition.
Using a supportive pillow, maintaining a neutral spine position while sleeping, avoiding awkward sleeping positions, and practising relaxation techniques before bed can often improve sleep quality despite neck pain.
