What is Neck Pain and Cervical Spine Syndrome?
Neck pain is one of the most common complaints in professional life. It results from neck muscle tension and can radiate from the cervical spine to shoulders and head. Cervical spine syndrome describes various complaints in the neck area, often caused by poor posture, stress, or one-sided strain.

Frequently Asked Questions from Our Patients in Unterbilk
How quickly do the treatments help with neck pain?
Many patients feel noticeable relief after the very first treatment. For acute tension, 3-5 sessions are often enough. For chronic complaints caused by years of screen work, longer therapy may be advisable.
Can I still work at the computer despite my neck pain?
Yes, but with the right breaks and exercises! We show you simple stretching exercises you can do at your desk every 1-2 hours. The correct screen height is also crucial.
Does the treatment also help with 'smartphone neck'?
Absolutely! 'Tech neck', caused by constantly looking down at your smartphone, is a common cause of neck pain. We treat the tension and give you tips for a better smartphone posture – important for commuters!
Can I come straight over after work in the Medienhafen?
Yes! Our practice at Fürstenwall 146 is perfectly located for working professionals. From the Medienhafen, you can reach us in 10 minutes. We offer flexible appointments by arrangement – including after work.
Does health insurance cover the costs?
