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.
I also have some relief when I laying down, or when I raise my chin higher than parallel to the ground. In addition to the tight feeling, the front center of my neck is tender to the touch and seems to get stuck and be cramped when I swallow-like a lump in my throat. Glands tender also. My dr has perscribed muscle relaxers, I'm seeing a chiropractor, a massage therapist and doing stretches for the front neck muscles.
