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.
A tension headache is head pain that results from muscle tightening (contraction) in the neck and head.The muscle contraction leads to a slight decrease in blood flow to the surrounding areas and an irritation of pain fibers in the skin, muscles, and blood vessel walls.eadaches may also result from muscle strain associated with injury to the neck muscles. An abnormality in the bones at the back of the neck (cervical vertebrae) or in the area where the mouth opens and closes (temporomandibular joint) may also put tension on the surrounding muscles and lead to a tension headache.
