A disc works like a shock absorber for your body. Your cervical discs allow you to turn your head and stabilize it. Over time, discs can become worn or damaged. Symptoms of disc injury can include: 

• Loss of mobility
• Numbness radiating down your shoulder, arm and hand
• Pain or stiffness
• Weakness

Treatment for your disc injury can include traction or physical therapy on your muscles and joints to reduce your pain and stiffness. Exercises can help increase your range of motion while correcting your posture can improve neck pain.

Nerves in the neck play a crucial role in transmitting information between the brain and arms, controlling sensations such as temperature, pain, and movement, and activating arm muscles. A pinched nerve occurs when one of these nerves, connected to the spinal cord, becomes compressed or inflamed. This condition can arise from sudden motions, repetitive stress, or degenerative changes in the neck’s bones or discs.

Common Symptoms of a Pinched Nerve:

• Reduced range of motion in the neck
• Numbness or tingling sensations
• Sharp, shooting pain
• Weakness in the upper extremities

Personalized Treatment Plans: At Well Motion Physiotherapy & Allied Health, we tailor your treatment to address your specific needs and promote optimal recovery. Our approach to managing pinched nerves may include:

• Pain management techniques using heat or ice to reduce inflammation
• Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) for targeted pain relief
• Physiotherapy sessions aimed at correcting posture and easing tension
• Range of motion and strengthening exercises to build neck stability and alleviate strain during daily activities

Our goal is to provide expert, compassionate care that helps you manage your symptoms effectively and return to your normal routine with improved comfort and mobility.

Whiplash is a neck injury caused by a sudden, forceful back-and-forth movement, resembling the cracking of a whip. This type of trauma is often associated with rear-end car accidents but can also occur from sports injuries or other physical impacts.
