Neck, Upper and Lower Back pain Treatment in Maidstone

---

Neck, Upper and Lower Back pain are all extremely common across a variety of backgrounds and effect a huge amount of everyday tasks. Whether these are acute recent pains or chronic conditions, at our Maidstone clinic we see a variety of structural and non structural problems that we can help with.

Structural causes may consist of but are not limited to:

• Muscular strains
• Ligament sprains
• Osteoarthritis of the spine (spondylosis)
• Disc pathologies

Pain does not always have to be structural and there doesn't need to be physical damage to cause discomfort. A few examples we see with no structural problem:

• Overuse - too much activity too soon, or repetitive working patterns
• Technique in sport or daily activity - small tweaks usually improve performance and reduce discomfort 
• Muscular weakness or tightness which is our most common presentation for back pain 

There are many more back and neck pathologies we see in clinic however these are some of our most common presentations. Some upper or lower limb pain can also stem from back so it is important for a full assessment. If there are structural concerns where conservative rehabilitation isn't likely to help then we have an imaging referral connection with KIMS hospital in Maidstone, where we can refer for relevant imaging or further investigation.
