How long does neck pain last?

Many cases settle within days to weeks. If it persists beyond 2–3 weeks, physiotherapy can help you recover faster with the right exercises and activity.

When should I worry about neck pain?

Seek urgent help after significant trauma or if you have fever, feel unwell, progressive weakness, or persistent tingling or numbness.

Can exercise make neck pain worse?

The right exercise usually helps. Adjusting range, load and pace lets you keep moving safely while symptoms settle.
