Neck pain, stiff neck, torticollis, whiplash – London Osteopathy treatment

The neck is formed by seven bones called the cervical vertebrae (cervical spine), which are linked by facet joints. Between each vertebrae is a disc, which allows the spine to be flexible. The muscles attached to the cervical spine support the neck and allow it to move in various ways.

Neck pain is a common but serious pathology and osteopathy treatment can help you avoid experiencing chronic neck pain. Untreated neck pain or whiplash can lead to cervical arthritis or other chronic neck pathologies, which can take longer to rehabilitate from.

We are covered by health insurance companies and recognised by Axa ppp (Bupa doesn’t cover osteopathy)
