Postnatal Back Pain

Effective Solutions and Support at Prime Physio Care Clinic

Neck pain, also known as cervicalgia, is a common problem affecting many people around the world. It refers to discomfort or pain in the muscles, bones, or nerves located in the back of your neck, near the top of your spine. This pain can arise from various underlying injuries or medical conditions.

There are two main types of neck pain: axial neck pain, which is concentrated in the neck itself, and radicular neck pain, which radiates outward to other areas like the shoulders or arms. Additionally, neck pain can be classified as either acute (lasting a few days to six weeks) or chronic (persisting for over three months).

Neck pain, if left untreated can significantly affect your daily activities. The good news is that most causes of neck pain are not serious and can often be effectively managed through moderate neck pain treatment such as pain medication, targeted exercises, and stress management techniques.

Postnatal back pain, also known as postpartum back pain, refers to the discomfort or pain experienced in the lower back area after childbirth.
