Conditions
Neck pain and headaches
Neck pain and headaches are among the most common complaints in the Netherlands. Whether it's from prolonged screen work, a poor sleeping position, or stress — it limits your daily functioning. At Fysio Willemspark in Amsterdam, we address the cause, not just the symptom.
Do you recognize this?
Stiff neck, especially in the morning or after prolonged sitting
Headache that radiates up from the neck
Dizziness with certain head movements
Tingling or numbness in your arms
Limited range of motion of your head and neck
Concentration problems due to persistent pain
Possible causes
Neck and headache complaints can have various causes. A good diagnosis is essential for effective treatment.
Poor posture from screen work
Working at a computer or laptop for extended periods leads to a forward-leaning posture. The neck muscles become overloaded, causing tension and pain.
Whiplash
After a car accident or other trauma, whiplash can occur. The cervical vertebrae and surrounding tissues are damaged, which can cause long-lasting complaints.
Muscle tension from stress
Chronic stress causes you to unconsciously tense your neck and shoulder muscles. This leads to hardening, trigger points, and radiating headaches.
Cervical herniated disc
A herniated disc in the neck occurs when an intervertebral disc bulges and puts pressure on a nerve. This can cause pain, tingling, and loss of strength in the arm.
Cervical osteoarthritis
Wear of the joints in the cervical spine is more common at older ages. It causes stiffness, pain, and sometimes a grinding sensation during movement.
Our approach
- 1
Testing
Through various tests, we map out the reason you are experiencing neck or headache complaints. Often there is more than one cause.
- 2
Solving
Based on the test results, we identify where the solution lies. By treating your body, you immediately feel an improvement in your complaints.
- 3
Follow-up
By performing the same tests again, you immediately experience that you have more range of motion. Often complaints are significantly reduced within a single treatment.
