You’re not alone. Neck pain can stop you in your tracks—making simple things like turning your head while driving or looking over your shoulder feel almost impossible.
At Faversham Osteopathy and Folkestone Osteopathy, we understand how frustrating and limiting this can be. That’s why our osteopaths prioritise your comfort, using the gentlest hands‑on techniques to ease pain, release tension, and restore movement.
But we don’t just treat the neck in isolation. We take a holistic approach, looking at how other areas of your body may be contributing to the problem. By addressing these underlying factors and providing tailored exercise plans, we aim not only to relieve your pain but also to help prevent it from coming back.
Treatment Options
As well as effective osteopathic techniques, dry needling is an effective intervention for neck pain also. Some of our osteopaths are fully trained in Dry Needling and can offer this as part of the treatment for no extra cost.
Mechanical Neck Pain Signs & Symptoms
- Neck Pain and stiffness
often worse with certain movements - Restricted movements (difficulty turning or tilting the head)
- Muscle tightness or spasms around the neck and shoulders
- Pain may radiate into other areas, like the head, shoulder blades, or arms
- Clicking or grinding sounds when moving the neck (usually not serious)
- Occasionally, numbness or tingling in the arms or hands
Common Mechanical Neck Pain Causes
- Muscle strain or tension
- (e.g., from poor posture, long hours at a desk, or awkward sleeping positions)
- Repetitive activities or overuse (most commonly work tasks, occasionally sports)
- Staying in one position too long, especially with poor ergonomics
- Stress, anxiety, or poor sleep, which can increase muscle tension
- Age‑related changes (normal wear and tear in joints and discs, sometimes called cervical spondylosis)
Our Commitment

what our patients say…
A warm welcome. Very professional at asking me the right questions and caring the treatment is right for you. Also explained things to me. She is a very caring kind therapist.
Ann
My life is so much happier being out of awful pain. I am amazed, I never thought this pain from an old injury could be helped. A colleague recommend Folkestone Osteopathy to me! Thank goodness I listened.
Jenny
Tamsyn has helped me tremendously and she is my “Go To” for osteopathy when I need help. Highly recommended.

What Is Cranial Osteopathy (& Does It Work?)
It’s gentle, non-invasive, and often used with babies – but cranial osteopathy is powerful for adults too. By working with the nervous system, it helps release deeply held tension and supports the body’s natural rhythm of healing.
Why Osteopathy Isn’t Just for Back Pain
Most people think of osteopathy for lower back pain – and yes, we treat that daily – but it can also support everything from tension headaches and jaw pain to digestive discomfort and postural imbalances. Osteopathy looks at how your whole body works together, not just isolated symptoms.
5 Signs Your Body’s Asking for Help
Aches that come and go. Stiffness first thing in the morning. Headaches after a long day at your desk. These niggles are your body’s way of waving a red flag. Don’t ignore them – early support can make all the difference.
