Here are some simple home remedies you can try to alleviate neck pain:

• Apply ice to the painful area during the first 48 to 72 hours
• Apply heat to the affected area after that, using warm showers, hot compresses or a heating pad
• Over-the-counter pain relievers
• Massage the affected area
• Keep moving your neck, but avoid sudden movements or jerking
• Stretch your neck muscles with slow exercises, moving it up and down, side to side and ear to ear
• Adjust your sleeping position
• Get a suitable mattress and pillow or a special neck pillow

If these home remedies do not work, do consult a medical professional. Reach out to our Care Advisors at 6100 0055 or [email protected] and learn more about how our doctors and physiotherapists can help with neck pain.

Sleeping on our stomach put stress on our spine and neck and can cause or worsen neck pain.

If you are experiencing neck pain or stiffness, adjust your sleeping position so that you’re sleeping on your back or side. It also helps to find a pillow that best suits you.

Some of the common causes and conditions that cause neck pain include:

• Degenerative disc disease
• Neck strain
• Osteoarthritis
• Cervical spondylosis
• Spinal stenosis
• Poor posture
• Neck injuries, such as whiplash, herniated disc, or a pinched nerve
• Infections, such as tuberculosis, meningitis and infection of the spine bones
• Fibromyalgia
• Polymyalgia rheumatica
• Uncomfortable position of the neck while sleeping
• Poor posture

Most of the time, neck stiffness goes away after a day or two, and simple home remedies can help to relieve the pain.

However, you should seek medical help if you experience neck pain that lasts for over 6 weeks, is unbearable even with home remedies, and/or is accompanied by any of the following symptoms:

• Severe pain shooting down your arms
• Weakness, numbness or tingling in your arms or legs
• Problems controlling your bladder or bowels
• Loss of balance
• Sudden clumsiness
• A recent injury or accident
• Sudden and high fever
• Confusion
• Increased sensitivity to light
• Nausea
• Vomiting

Every individual’s recovery and rehabilitation journey is different depending on your condition. The physiotherapist will be able to advise you of an appropriate treatment plan and frequency after the initial assessment.

Homage Physiotherapists are individuals passionate and dedicated in caring for seniors and families in need. 100% Singaporean, they are certified under the Ministry of Health’s Allied Health Professions Council (AHPC).

Our physiotherapists specialised in diverse areas from orthopedic (conditions of the bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons and joints) to geriatric (age-related or progressive conditions).

Physiotherapists are allied health professionals who have an in-depth knowledge of how the body works and specialised hands-on clinical skills to assess, diagnose and treat injury and disability. Trained to pinpoint the root cause of injuries and other ailments, a physiotherapist will first assess your holistic health and wellbeing, before determining the kind of movements and exercises you can and should do to aid in recovery, taking into consideration a multitude of factors including your individual needs, conditions and mobility.

A physiotherapist may use different approaches to treat and manage your condition, including movement and exercise, manual therapy and hydrotherapy.

Every Homage Home Physiotherapy Visit is one-hour long (60-minutes).

During your first visit, our physiotherapist will first assess your health and physical condition, understand the goals, develop and advise a personalised therapy treatment plan which can be completed in the home setting.

If time permits, the physiotherapist will also conduct these exercises with you during the first visit.

There is no need for any preparation.

If you have any doctor’s referral letter, previous physiotherapy/ medical reports or investigations (X-ray or MRI), we would recommend sharing these information with your physiotherapist for a more thorough understanding of your condition for therapy treatment.
