What we treat
Acute or chronic neck pain
Neck pain can be acute or long-standing. Screens, stress and poor sleeping positions all encourage it. The osteopath examines the mobility of the neck, shoulders and upper back, then releases tension with suitable techniques — from gentle mobilizations to precise manipulation when indicated and safe.
Stiff, 'locked' neck on waking
Waking with a stiff, locked neck that is hard to turn is common: a poor sleeping position or an unsuitable pillow is enough. The osteopath gently releases this block, relaxes the neck and shoulder muscles and restores mobility, then advises you on your pillow and sleeping position.
Torticollis
Torticollis is a painful neck block that often appears suddenly, with the head held to one side. It corresponds to a protective muscle spasm. With gentle work on the neck and the muscles involved, the osteopath helps release the spasm and regain mobility more quickly.
Cervicobrachial neuralgia (neck-to-arm pain)
Cervicobrachial neuralgia is pain that starts in the neck and runs down the arm, sometimes with tingling, from an irritated cervical nerve. The osteopath works gently on neck and shoulder mobility and muscle tension to relieve the nerve. Loss of strength or persistent tingling needs a medical opinion.
Cervicogenic headaches
Some headaches have a cervical origin: tension in the neck and the base of the skull radiates to the head. By releasing this tension and improving neck mobility, osteopathy can reduce the frequency and intensity of these headaches.
Stress- and posture-related tension
Stress and sustained positions keep the neck and shoulders permanently tight, to the point of pain and stiffness. The osteopath releases this tension and takes overall posture and breathing into account, with ergonomics advice to limit recurrences.
After a whiplash injury
After a whiplash injury (a jolt, a car accident), the neck can stay painful and stiff once medical checks are reassuring. The osteopath then works gently on the residual tension in the neck, shoulders and upper back. Any recent trauma must first be medically assessed.
A gentle, precise approach
The neck is a sensitive area: the examination is careful and techniques are adapted, from gentle mobilizations to precise manipulation when it is indicated and safe. The work also considers the shoulders, upper back and overall posture.
When to consult?
As soon as tension appears or if it recurs. After trauma (accident, fall) or with dizziness, tingling or loss of strength, a prior medical opinion is required.
How a session works
About 45 minutes: history, examination of neck mobility and posture, tailored treatment, then stretching and ergonomics advice (screen, pillow, workstation).
Osteopathy complements your medical care; it does not replace it.
