Neck Pain

Neck pain is another common condition we treat here at the clinic. This is due to its prevalence in modern life, often related to poor posture, stress, and repetitive strain. Neck pain affects a significant portion of the population, with up to 70% of people experiencing it at some point in their lives.

Causes

Neck pain, much like back pain, is rarely due to a serious underlying condition, but it can significantly impact daily life and overall well-being. The most common causes of neck pain are mechanical in nature. This refers to issues with the joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and discs in the neck, as well as how these structures function and interact with the nervous system.


Common causes include:

  • Poor posture, especially related to prolonged sitting or computer use
  • Sudden movements or injuries, such as whiplash
  • Repetitive strain from activities or work-related tasks
  • Stress and tension, which can lead to muscle tightness and pain
  • Degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis or disc problems
It’s also known that emotional factors like stress, anxiety, and depression can exacerbate neck pain, as can lifestyle factors like inadequate sleep and lack of exercise.
  • Exercise Prescription: Customised exercises to help relieve pain, strengthen the neck muscles, and prevent future issues.
  • Postural Advice: Guidance on improving posture to reduce strain on the neck and prevent pain recurrence.
  • Acupuncture/Dry Needling: These techniques may be used to enhance pain relief and promote healing.
  • Lifestyle Modifications: Strategies to address lifestyle factors contributing to your pain, such as improving sleep quality and managing stress.
We aim to support you throughout your recovery, providing ongoing advice and adjustments to your treatment plan as needed to ensure the best possible outcome.

Couldn’t recommend a better chiropractor!! Sorted my 15 year back issue out after the first session and I’ve been going ever since. If you’ve ever thought about going then you need to.. I put it off for two years and I’m gutted I didn’t go sooner. The staff are very friendly and always remember little details from conversations from previous sessions. Mark is very professional I can’t thank him enough for helping me overcome my everyday pains 10/10

Over the last four years, chronic bursitis and tendonosis have completely dominated my life - I’ve been increasingly unable to sit or lie down without considerable discomfort and despite several cortisone injections, I was fast losing hope that things would ever improve. Then my husband discovered Prime Therapy Chiropractic Clinic in Grantham. I booked a course of five shockwave therapy treatments and within a few short weeks I started to feel the difference. Mark Jessop is a first-rate therapist, he’s a joy to deal with and really knows his stuff. What’s more his services are also very reasonably priced. At last I’m looking forward to a brighter future - thank you so much Mark.

Mark is an excellent therapist.  I had suffered with Plantar Fasciitis for months and nothing I tried had helped.  After having the shock wave treatment I have been pain free and that is since Aug 22.  So happy.

I have recently had ESWT at Prime Therapy, I was advised by an NHS consultant that this could help the insertional achilles tendinitis and haglunds deformity, however it not available in that NHS trust.

I contacted Prime Therapy Chiropractic clinic to make an appointment to discuss the treatment. Mark offered no false promises when discussing the ESWT and how it works. After 5 sessions with Mark I am able to walk properly again and I am virtually pain free. I couldn't have wished for a better outcome!!

I found the whole experience from booking an appointment to the treatment extremely easy and professional. I did feel very apprehensive when I first arrived but Mark was very friendly and knowledgeable.

I would recommend anyone with this issue or something similar to contact Prime Therapy!!
