Neck Rehabilitation

A physiotherapist specializing in neck pain focuses on treating a variety of neck-related conditions using a range of techniques to reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore function. They employ methods like manual therapy, exercise therapy, and modalities like ultrasound or TENS to address issues like cervical spondylosis, neck pain with mobility deficits, or neck pain with headaches.
