Where appropriate, we will make an application to your Primary Care Trust (PCT) for NHS funding. If you are not eligible for NHS Funding or your PCT declines funding, then we would be happy to treat you as a 'self funded' patient.
The main symptom of tightness in the muscles of the upper back and neck is aching discomfort in the upper back and neck area with diminished range of motion of the neck along with tenderness around the neck and shoulder blades.
Tight neck muscles can cause a lot of other problems too. The neck is the gateway to the brain. It contains major blood vessels to supply the brain with oxygen. Thus, tight neck muscles or misaligned vertebrae may compress or stretch these blood vessels, reducing the blood supply and, consequently, oxygen delivery to the brain.
