Physiotherapy Can Effectively Treat Head And Neck Injuries
Head, neck, and cervical spine injuries are among the most common conditions treated in physiotherapy. Head and neck injuries vary in severity and may cause temporary or chronic pain.
Head and neck pain is often misdiagnosed. However, if left untreated, even mild head and neck pain can significantly impact a person’s overall well-being and productivity.
While they can be debilitating, most head and neck injuries are treatable, especially if diagnosed and addressed early on, and Easy Allied Health can help.

Common Head And Neck Symptoms
The cervical spine and neck area are especially vulnerable to injury from sudden movements, as they support and stabilize the entire weight of the head with limited muscle mass. Though more severe or complicated head and neck injuries may be referred to other specialists, our physiotherapists are well-positioned to treat a variety of conditions, such as:
- Whiplash
- Muscle and ligament strains, sprains, and spasms
- Cervical misalignment or compression
- Impaired mobility
- Tension headaches
- Occipital Neuritis (often misdiagnosed as migraines)
- TMJ
- Arthritis
