Neck pain treatment with Osteopathy
The neck can be considered as the gateway between the head, and the rest of the body. For this reason, it is a common area of complaint to any health care clinic. From sleeping awkwardly to constantly sitting at the desk to having a hectic day on the tools, neck pain can strike at any time, in anyone.
It is important to consider the reciprocal effect of having acute or chronic neck pain on the rest of the body, which is why the Bodytech approach is believed to be an effective way to assist in relieving a sore neck.
