Neck Pain Treatment in Singapore – FAQs

What causes neck pain, and how common is it?

Neck pain is a common issue, especially in people who spend long hours at desks, looking down at devices, or have poor posture. Causes include:

• Muscle strain and tension

• Cervical disc issues (e.g. slipped disc)

• Nerve impingement

• Arthritis or degeneration

• Whiplash or trauma

• Poor sleeping posture

Symptoms may include stiffness, aching, headaches, radiating arm pain, numbness, or dizziness.

What are standard treatments for neck pain?

Traditional management usually includes:

• Painkillers and muscle relaxants

• Physiotherapy exercises

• Heat packs and ultrasound therapy

• Massage and posture advice

• Chiropractic adjustments

• Acupuncture

What are the frustrations patients have with common neck pain treatments?

Many patients find that:

• Medications only mask the pain

• Exercises can feel tiring or aggravate symptoms

• Posture training takes time and may not address deeper joint or nerve issues

• Some therapies (e.g. massage or acupuncture) may offer only temporary relief

• They’re unsure which treatment is right for their specific cause

How is The Pain Relief Practice different in treating neck pain?

We prioritize targeted, non-invasive solutions that are comfortable even for patients sensitive to movement or touch.

Our treatment options include:

• Computerized spinal decompression: Helps relieve nerve impingement by gently decompressing the neck.

• Shockwave therapy (from $180/session): Reduces muscle tightness and stimulates tissue healing.

• HotHeal Therapy Protocol: Combines manual techniques with non-invasive radiofrequency to reduce inflammation and restore mobility.

• Optional Home Therapy Protocol: Uses FDA-approved PEMF, Regenerix Gold, and Korean transdermal patches for home support between sessions.

Is it suitable for patients with chronic neck stiffness or recurring symptoms?

Yes. Our approach is ideal for patients with:

• Long-standing desk-related neck pain

• Degenerative disc disease

• Cervical spondylosis

• Slipped disc without surgical indication

• Whiplash after traffic accidents

Treatments are typically well tolerated and tailored to each patient’s condition and tolerance level.

How soon will I feel better?

Most patients feel relief within 1–2 sessions. Chronic or nerve-related conditions may need more sessions, but improvement is tracked regularly, and we adjust the approach as needed.

When is surgery necessary for neck conditions?

Surgery may be recommended if there’s:

• Severe nerve compression with muscle weakness

• Spinal cord involvement

• Structural instability

• Failed response to conservative treatment

We regularly provide second opinions for patients considering surgery or unsure of their diagnosis.
