Neck and Shoulder Pain

This is also called the “neck headache”. This is where you get the pain from that neck that gives you the headache sensation, caused by a joint in the neck.

Your headache may seem to radiate from the back to the front of your head, provoked or eased by a neck movement, a sustained posture, stomach sleeping or with your head turned to one side.

It may normally appears to be worse on one side of your head. The side is normally constant and does not swap sides.

This is area that we work on with our clients. It can come from your sport, work, poor posture, or a car accident. This is a common area where people “hold stress”.

Whenever we walk, breathe, or stretch, our organs move. Our internal structures are wrapped in a connective tissue called “fascia” and this fascia needs to move correctly. If the tissue surrounding an organ is injured or not moving correctly – during sports, by a collision or fall, by disease, or by the post-operative effects of surgery – it can restrict or change the organ’s regular pattern of movement.

Degenerative disk disease, or DDD, occurs when regular changes in your spinal disks start to “wear down”. Spinal disks are your shock absorbers, the jelly donuts if you will, between the bones of your spine. As we get older, they start to show signs of wear and tear and this may or may not cause pain.
