For Active Individuals and Sports Enthusiasts: Waking up with neck pain

Regular exercise is great, but improper form or inadequate recovery can cause neck pain. Active individuals often wake up with stiffness or discomfort due to overuse injuries or strains from workouts. Ensuring proper diagnosis and care is essential to maintain peak performance.

To address this:

  • Focus on warm-ups and cool-downs to prepare and relax your muscles.
  • Use a high-quality pillow that supports your neck during recovery.
  • Work with a physiotherapist to refine your technique and avoid future strain.

Imaging such as MRIs or ultrasounds can pinpoint sports-related injuries, helping tailor your treatment. At The Pain Relief Clinic, we offer affordable imaging with results in under a day, so you can get back to your active lifestyle quickly.
