Similar to low back pain, neck pain is another issues that affects many of the population at some point in their lives. Neck pain and stiffness can be triggered due to postural reasons such as sitting at a computer for long periods of time, whiplash from a road traffic accident, mechanical and discogenic causes, leading to injury to structures such as muscles, ligaments and nerves, and can lead to referred pain down shoulders, arms and upper back. Neck pain can even be the underlying cause of tension headaches where people will experience a band of tension or pressure in the back of the head, neck, or around the eyes. It is important to address and correct the underlying cause of the pain and provide treatment to alleviate symptoms and prevent future recurrences.

What a fab practice - from reception who raised my query with the GPs, arranged for me to email details through, and then to the GP (Dr Peck) calling me back the same day with a treatment plan, advice, and a prescription to collect. Real service and empathy.
I was very impressed by the staff in the private GP services and the service offered. They made sure my concerns were settled and approved all my terms therefore, I'd always consider and recommend this place.
The receptionist was lovely and helped me get an appointment the same afternoon. Staff were highly professional, polite and friendly. Dr was extremely engaged and didn’t feel rushed in my appointment, will definitely be booking again in the future.
