What's Causing Your Neck Pain?

Neck pain or pain in the cervical spine, can be really debilitating but with the right treatment it is possible to address this effectively. There are a number of reasons why you may have a sore neck.

Neck Conditions We Treat

Neck pain can make simple daily activities feel incredibly difficult, whether you are sitting at your desk or simply driving around Leeds. Understanding the root cause of your discomfort is the vital first step to getting you moving freely again. Our clinical team takes the time to thoroughly assess your symptoms, allowing us to build a personalised treatment programme tailored specifically to you. Below are some of the common neck conditions we regularly help our patients overcome at our Leeds clinic.

These are the little joints between each one of the vertebra (bones in your neck), which can cause pain if they are stiff or the muscles around them are in spasm. There are nerves that come out from the spinal cord at each facet joint, and these can get irritated.

Irritation of the discs between each vertebra can also cause pain and may be irritated due to alignment of the neck and spine when sitting or standing.

After working out why you may have tight and sore muscles in the neck, these can respond really well to manual therapy and stretches and strengthening exercises.

This may be related to your neck and be due to irritation of the nerve root (where the nerve leaves your spine). This can often be released with mobilisation of the joints and nerve roots, and advice on how to improve your posture if necessary.

Neck Pain Physiotherapy Treatment At Our Leeds Clinic

Here at CSPC we treat your neck pain by assessing your neck movement and posture. Your physiotherapist will assess your nerve and joint mobility and the tightness of the muscles in your neck and shoulders. If they feel there is something that needs medical attention, they will advise you on this. 

The physiotherapist will take a thorough case history and work out the best plan for you. Treatment can include

  • Mobilisation of the joints in your neck
  • Nerve glides
  • Soft tissue treatment, strengthening and stretching advice
  • Specific and focused home exercises
  • Taping
  • Onward referral for imaging or consultants if required (self-funded or via private medical insurance or a letter to your GP)

love CSPC Physiotherapy

"Amazing physios! I started coming here when they were located in Leeds Met. Now moved out to a new building by the Village gym/hotel. Every physio I have seen has been nothing short of amazing.....very knowledgeable and always seem to fix the problem!"
Chris Allen
"Rose came highly recommended to me from a sports therapist who was also a high level athlete. She clearly cares about getting her patients back to full health ASAP. She kindly reviewed a list of my injuries prior to booking anything with her so she could appropriately advise on who i should see. From my brief conversation with her i could tell she cared and had extensive knowledge about biomechanics and getting to the root cause of the problem."
Drew Norcup
"I was attended to by Louisa who was great . She was very thorough and methodical in getting to the root of my problem and gave me effective treatment. At the end of my treatment I was given a plan to follow. There was no pressure to book a follow up appointment either. I would definitely recommend to anyone contemplating going. My only regret is that I did not go earlier."

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.

Yes, it certainly can. Many headaches originate from tension or joint stiffness in the neck, which are often referred to as cervicogenic or tension headaches. Our experienced physiotherapists can thoroughly assess the root cause of your symptoms and use targeted manual therapy, alongside gentle exercises, to relieve muscle tightness and restore normal movement. This evidence-led approach is highly effective at reducing both the frequency and severity of your headaches.

The time it takes to see improvements varies depending on the specific cause and duration of your neck pain. For minor muscular strains, you may begin to feel relief within just one or two sessions. However, if you are managing a chronic condition or a more complex issue, a longer rehabilitation programme may be required to ensure lasting results. During your initial consultation, our dedicated team will provide you with a clear, personalised timeline for your recovery so you know exactly what to expect.

You should consult a professional if your neck pain lasts longer than a few days, causes headaches, prevents you from turning your head comfortably, or is accompanied by numbness or tingling radiating down your arm.

Yes, you do not need a GP referral to access our neck pain physiotherapy in Leeds. You can self-refer and book an initial assessment directly at our clinic, allowing you to start your evidence-led recovery programme without delay.
