Osteopath for Neck Pain in NDG, Montreal

Neck pain can affect your ability to work, drive, exercise, sleep comfortably or perform everyday movements. It may be associated with muscle tension, joint stiffness, prolonged posture, repetitive movements or restrictions involving the

upper back and shoulders.

At Osteopathy NDG, osteopathic care focuses on assessing the mechanical factors that may be contributing to your neck discomfort and reduced mobility.

Neck Pain and Osteopathy

Neck discomfort does not always originate from a single structure. The cervical spine works closely with the upper back, ribs, shoulders and shoulder blades.

During an osteopathic consultation, these different areas may be assessed together to better understand the movement restrictions associated with your symptoms.

Common reasons people consult for neck pain include:

Neck stiffness
Reduced cervical mobility
Muscle tension
Pain when turning or tilting the head
Neck discomfort related to desk work
Postural strain
Tension involving the upper back and shoulders
Sports-related neck discomfort
Headaches associated with neck tension

A Personalized Assessment

Your consultation begins with a discussion of your symptoms, activities, work demands and movements that increase or decrease your discomfort.

The assessment may include the cervical spine, upper thoracic spine, ribs, shoulders and surrounding muscles.

Osteopathic techniques are adapted to your individual presentation and may focus on improving mobility, decreasing excessive muscular tension and helping restore more comfortable movement.

Exercises or movement recommendations may also be suggested when appropriate.

Neck Pain From Work and Posture

Long periods of sitting, computer work, driving and repetitive movements can contribute to muscular tension and reduced mobility around the neck and upper back.

An osteopathic assessment can help identify mechanical restrictions that may be contributing to these symptoms and determine which areas should be addressed.

Neck Pain and Physical Activity

Neck discomfort may also occur during training, contact sports, weightlifting or activities involving repetitive upper-body movement.

The assessment may include the neck, shoulders, upper back and rib cage to evaluate how these regions are working together.
