Stiff neck massage therapy TorontoStiff Neck

This page covers both the “I slept on it wrong” stiff neck and facet strain, plus pinched nerves — they're often related, since a pinched facet often has nerve involvement, and even when it doesn't, most people call it a pinched nerve anyway. Arm tingling or pain suggests a nerve may genuinely be involved.

Not a diagnosis — for more information, contact me or another trusted healthcare provider.

If you can't check your mirrors in the car due to a sharp pinching pain that feels like a wall, you might have a facet strain.

I can often work “magic” with these, getting it unstuck in a short session — about 10 minutes of work. That doesn't fully resolve the issue on its own; ongoing care follows, with a comprehensive home routine. If you're in the middle of it, call — it might go to voicemail, but I return calls as soon as I'm through clinic, or even between appointments. Same-day visits are often possible, and a 30-minute appointment is usually more than enough to help you feel in control of that pinched neck.
