Common neck injuries often involve and are caused by the following:
- Soft tissue strain – Also known as cervical strain, it is commonly caused by sudden, violent movements that overstretch the muscles or tendons in the neck, or by chronic, low-level stress from poor posture.
- Whiplash – Often caused by the rapid, forced back-and-forth movement of the neck, commonly occurring during rear-end car accidents. This sudden motion, similar to a snapping whip, stretches and tears the neck muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Given that we offer services for ICBC claims, we see this request for neck therapy often at our Burnaby clinic.
- Nerve compression – Also known as cervical radiculopathy, the issue is commonly caused by age-related degeneration (arthritis, bone spurs) or sudden injury, such as a herniated disc. These conditions narrow the space for nerves, causing pain to radiate into the shoulders or arms.
Neck injuries can significantly restrict daily life by causing pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion, often making it difficult to turn the head, drive, work, or sleep comfortably. Severe injuries can cause numbness, muscle weakness, vertigo, and chronic pain, hindering physical activity and sometimes causing long-term disability without early intervention. Understanding (and experiencing) some or all of this, you have come online to search “neck therapy near me”.

Neck Injury Treatment Through Massage Therapy
Massage therapy at our clinic helps with neck injury and pain by reducing muscle tension, increasing blood circulation to promote healing, and breaking down adhesions in soft tissue. It addresses the root cause of pain by alleviating muscle spasms, improving range of motion, and decreasing inflammation. Techniques like deep tissue and trigger point therapy specifically target neck stiffness.
Neck Injury Treatment Through Acupuncture and Dry Needling
Acupuncture and dry needling alleviate neck pain and injury by reducing muscle tension, improving blood circulation, and modulating pain signals in the nervous system. Dry needling specifically targets myofascial trigger points to release tight muscle bands, while acupuncture focuses on balancing energy and reducing inflammation. Both Traditional Chinese Medicine (for which we are staffed with a specialist) techniques can significantly improve range of motion and decrease chronic neck pain.
