I have been seeing Jamie for the last couple of months, and absolutely can’t recommend him enough. I love his holistic approach and looking at the bigger picture to try and piece together the reasons why my neck and hips are so painful. I always feel anxious when having to go to someone different when it comes to my health, but Jamie is so kind, friendly and understanding of people and how they are feeling. We have had some great results so far with my treatment and feel we are making some headway with all my aches and pains. If you are feeling nervous and not sure what to expect, Jamie is the guy for you.

I recently had a sports massage with Brad, due to extended periods of computer use, I suffer with neck and shoulder tension. Brad was able to work out all the knots in my back and shoulders. I have definitively felt the benefits ever since.

Brad gave me physio after I damaged my ankle ligaments playing rugby. Excellent in helping relieve the swelling initially then worked with me to help with recovery . Brad helped with taping up once I got back playing as well and my return was very swift

Brad has been working on my back and shoulders mostly over the last year and has given me exercises to do in my own time to strengthen and stretch the effected areas. I have recently had knee surgery so will be looking to him for some more physio work to help me achieve my goals in recovery! Brad offers a Fabulous service, good knowledge and a friendly face! Big thumbs up!!!

I really look forward to my adjustments with Jamie. I always walk out feeling looser and grounded. I’m quite inquisitive and he answers my questions fully and has a great sense of humour. I’m so grateful he’s helped me feel like me again. I highly recommend going to see him!! 🙏🏻

My experience with Skelian has been overwhelming positive. I have had lower back pain on and off for a good few years but Jamie has been able to assist with making things more comfortable for me since beginning treatment. I can’t thank Jamie enough for giving me the ability to train again without fear of enduring discomfort afterwards. Simply amazing service!!

Neck Pain

The pain comes from the cervical spine which and can involve joints muscles and nerves. In this article we look at symptoms, causes and treatment options. 

What is Mechanical Neck pain?

Mechanical neck pain refers to pain in the neck that comes from either your muscles, nerves or joints. 

What causes mechanical neck pain?

Like with many issues that involve our body, there can be a number of reasons for this. For some people the pain may come from tight muscles, for others it could be from stiff joints or a combination of both. 

Our lives in the twenty-first century can put a lot of demand on our necks. Everyday tasks such as driving, using a mobile phone or even sitting in front of a computer screen can put a strain on your neck. Fortunately, our bodies are robust and if done infrequently we can perform these tasks with minimal to no discomfort. The problem occurs when our necks become fatigued by the accumulation of stress that builds on a regular basis.

How do I treat mechanical neck pain?

Mechanical neck pain can be caused by multiple different reasons, so there is not just one way to approach the problem. In most cases, the pain may originate from stiff/irritated joints and/or tight muscles. Sometimes these issues can also lead to headaches which you can find out about by clicking here. 

First, you need to make sure that your neck pain is coming from a mechanical cause. To do this it is advised you speak to a trained healthcare professional such as a chiropractor to help diagnose the issue. Once you have a diagnosis, you and the chiropractor can come up with a treatment plan to help get your neck feeling better again. 

Mechanical neck pain treatments can include:

  • Spinal Manipulation or mobilisation 
  • Neck and upper back muscle release techniques 
  • Acupuncture or Dry Needling 
  • Taping 
  • Home exercises such as stretches and strength work
  • Heat or Cold Therapy

At Skelian we offer a variety of excellent services performed by our highly trained expert healthcare professionals that can help you with your acute back pain.
