If you're dealing with pain, recovering from an injury, or just want to move better, this is what we do. No fluff. Just results that matter.

It could be from:
✅ Sitting for too long
✅ Poor hydration
✅ Stress and posture
✅ Restricted movement in the upper neck

Before reaching for painkillers, try this:
💧 Drink more water (a pinch of sea salt helps absorb it better)
🚶 Take short walking breaks
🙆‍♂️ Do simple neck stretches
🎾 Try self-massage with a tennis ball

Still struggling? Our team in Cardiff helps people every day with neck-related headaches, using chiropractic and osteopathic care to restore proper movement and reduce tension.

5 Myths About Back Pain Debunked

Back pain is a common issue that affects millions of people, but there are many misconceptions about how to handle it. Let's debunk some of these myths to help you understand your back health!

1. "Rest is Best"
While it might seem logical to rest when experiencing back pain, prolonged inactivity can actually worsen the condition. Gentle movement and targeted exercises can promote healing and reduce pain. So don't shy away from staying active.

2. "Only Old People Get Back Pain"
Think back pain is just for the elderly? Think again! It can strike anyone at any age. From kids carrying heavy backpacks to adults with desk jobs, back pain is a widespread issue. Maintaining a good posture and an active lifestyle is essential for everyone.

3. "MRI is the Answer"
While MRIs provide detailed images, they can't capture functional issues like muscle weakness or movement patterns. Many structural abnormalities in MRIs don't cause pain, and psychological factors influencing back pain aren't visible on scans.

4. "Surgery is the Only Option"
When dealing with severe back pain, many fear that surgery is inevitable. However, most back pain cases can be managed with non-invasive treatments like chiropractic care, physical therapy and other conservative methods. These approaches can significantly reduce pain and improve function without the need for surgery.

5. "All Back Pain is the Same"
Back pain is not one size fits all. There are various causes, from muscle strain to herniated discs to good old non-specific low back pain. Understanding the cause of your back pain is key to finding the most effective treatment.

Understanding these myths can help you take better care of your back and make informed decisions about your health. If you're struggling with back pain, don't hesitate to seek professional advice and explore all your treatment options.
