Neck & Upper Back Pain — What It Looks Like

Long hours at a desk, a heavy commute, or plain stress can leave the neck and upper back locked in tension. Left alone, that tightness often creeps into tension headaches and shoulder pain. Our osteopaths treat this pattern every week across Vancouver, from downtown offices to home workspaces.

  • Stiffness or reduced range of motion turning the head
  • Tight, knotted muscles between the shoulder blades
  • Tension building at the base of the skull
  • Pain that worsens with screen time or driving
  • Jaw tightness accompanying the neck tension

How Osteopathy Helps

Treatment focuses on releasing the neck, upper back and jaw as a connected system rather than one sore spot. Gentle mobilization and soft-tissue work reduce the tension, improve posture-related mechanics, and are paired with easy stretches you can do at your desk.
