Contact your GP first
With sudden severe pain, loss of strength or sensation, fever, shortness of breath, chest pain, unexplained weight loss, symptoms after an accident or when you feel seriously ill.
Neck pain often has more layers than a tight muscle alone.
Does this feel familiar?
Common patterns include:
Stiff neck
Shoulder tension
Headache from the neck
Jaw or upper back tension
Symptoms after screen work
Stress that settles in the shoulders
Neck and shoulder symptoms often interact with breathing, screen posture, stress, sleep and the way you hold yourself during daily tasks.
Acupuncture may reduce tension and calm the nervous system. Cesar Exercise Therapy helps you notice how you sit, work, breathe and move, and practise alternatives that fit your day.
Exercise therapy and acupuncture have both been studied for neck pain and tension-related symptoms. I use them carefully and evaluate what changes.
We look at your neck, shoulders and daily load together, then choose whether calm, movement or both should come first.
“Small changes in my posture made more difference than I expected.”
That differs per person. We evaluate regularly whether treatment is making enough difference.
Usually not. If symptoms are severe, sudden or medically worrying, contact your GP first.
Yes, when that makes sense for your symptoms. I discuss this during the initial consultation.
Discuss first?
I think it is important that you start in the right place. That is why I explain when you can contact me and when speaking to your GP first is wiser.
With sudden severe pain, loss of strength or sensation, fever, shortness of breath, chest pain, unexplained weight loss, symptoms after an accident or when you feel seriously ill.
If you are unsure whether acupuncture, Cesar Exercise Therapy or the combination fits. Also if you are already receiving treatment, use medication, are pregnant or mainly want to know where you can start safely.
During the initial consultation I look at what is appropriate. If my approach is not the right first step, I will say so and think along about a logical next step.
You do not need to know exactly which treatment is right. Send me your question; I will think it through with you personally.
