Neck pain can be surprisingly disruptive. Whether it’s stiffness when turning your head, a dull ache that builds during the day, or sharp discomfort that catches you off guard, it can affect your focus, your sleep, your posture, and even your mood.
At Adams Osteopathy, we regularly help people dealing with neck pain caused by modern life: desk work, long hours at the wheel, stress, or simply years of habitual tension.
The good news!
Most neck issues respond well to hands-on treatment and some targeted changes to how you move and manage your body day to day.
Gentle, effective care to relieve tension and restore movement
Why Neck Pain Happens
Neck pain often develops gradually over time, but it can also come on suddenly—after a poor night’s sleep, a long meeting, or even something as simple as checking your phone.
Common causes of neck pain:
Muscle tension from poor posture or desk work.
Joint stiffness or restriction in the neck and upper spine.
Previous injuries (like whiplash) that haven’t fully settled.
Stress and emotional tension held in the neck and shoulders.
Imbalances in how the head, neck, and upper back work together.
You may also notice related symptoms like tension headaches, shoulder discomfort, or pain that radiates into the upper back or arms.
Neck pain often develops gradually over time, but it can also come on suddenly - after a poor night’s sleep, a long meeting, or even something as simple as checking your phone.
