Neck and back pain

Neck and back discomfort can affect work, sleep and everyday movement.

Understanding your symptoms

Muscle strains and other musculoskeletal problems can cause pain and stiffness. Sometimes symptoms involve nerves or another underlying condition. Pain does not necessarily mean there is swelling or inflammation, and the cause is not always obvious.

Where cold can help

Temperature controlled cold therapy can provide symptom relief for some neck and back pain. Others find warmth more comfortable, particularly with stiffness or muscle spasm.

We assess whether localised cold therapy is appropriate for the area involved and your health history. Cooling does not correct a slipped disc or remove pressure from a nerve.

Your movement goals

We focus on comfort during everyday activities, alongside appropriate movement and any medical or physiotherapy advice.

When to seek urgent help

Back pain with new bladder or bowel changes, loss of feeling around the genitals or anus, or weakness or numbness in both legs needs emergency assessment. Call 999 or go to A&E; do not wait for a clinic appointment.

Your next step

Not sure whether cold therapy is appropriate for you? Book a free call to discuss your symptoms and what you hope to achieve. A full suitability assessment is required before treatment.

Our approach is to assess, target, treat and review. We agree individual goals and check whether treatment is making a meaningful difference.

Our focus: symptom management, confidence in movement and the activities that make life enjoyable. Individual responses vary, and improvement is not guaranteed.
