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.
Symptoms associated with this type of neck disorder can include pain, stiffness, and/or tightness in muscles that lasts up to six weeks. Doctors often treat spasms with muscle relaxers, physical therapy referrals, and stretching exercises. Many people also turn to massage and other holistic therapies.
