Understanding Neck Pain

Neck pain affects millions of Canadians and can significantly impact your quality of life — from difficulty turning your head while driving to constant tension headaches that disrupt your focus. At Interlink Physiotherapy in Ancaster, we specialize in identifying the exact source of your neck pain and delivering targeted treatment that provides lasting relief.

The cervical spine is a complex structure of seven vertebrae, discs, joints, muscles, and nerves. Pain can arise from any of these structures due to injury, poor posture, degenerative changes, or repetitive strain. 'Tech neck' — the forward head posture from prolonged screen use — is increasingly common and creates significant strain on the cervical spine. Whiplash from motor vehicle accidents can cause ligament and muscle injuries that, if left untreated, become chronic. Physiotherapy addresses the root cause, not just the pain.

Common Symptoms

Pain and stiffness in the neck, especially in the morning
Limited range of motion when turning or tilting the head
Headaches originating from the base of the skull
Pain that radiates into the shoulder or down the arm
Numbness or tingling in the hands or fingers
Muscle tightness and knots in the neck and upper trapezius
Dizziness or balance issues related to cervical dysfunction
Pain that worsens with prolonged sitting or screen time

Common Causes

  • Whiplash injury from motor vehicle accidents
  • Poor posture — forward head posture from desk work and screen use
  • Cervical disc herniation or degeneration
  • Muscle strain from sleeping in an awkward position
  • Facet joint irritation or arthritis
  • Nerve compression (cervical radiculopathy)
  • Sports injuries or falls
  • Stress-related muscle tension

Ankle Fracture Recovery

"I had my initial assessment with Dhiman Patel and it was excellent! He was meticulous and kind — pairing what I told him with what his assessment found. I left with exercises to do and an explanation of what the root of my pain was. Pleasantly, I have already found my pain decrease through the movement I was prescribed. I valued the education, empowerment, and optimism I received at this first visit. The space is very welcoming and clean."
