Stiff Neck or Back in the Morning? What Can Help | South Edmonton
Waking up stiff is common, but it shouldn't run your day. Here is what may cause morning stiffness and which sessions may help.
Why do I feel so stiff in the morning?
Morning stiffness is often due to tight muscles, low activity the day before, or sleep position. A therapeutic massage or a full-body red light session may help you feel looser. Morning stiffness lasting more than 30 minutes with swollen joints should be checked by a doctor.

My lower back is stiff when I get out of bed. What can help?
Low back stiffness that eases as you move is commonly muscular. Acupuncture for back pain or Manual Osteopathic Therapy for stiffness may help. See a doctor if it's getting worse or wakes you at night.

I can't turn my head fully. What should I book?
Reduced neck rotation is often from tight neck and upper back muscles. Manual Osteopathic Therapy for neck pain and stiffness or neck-and-shoulder acupuncture may help improve comfort and movement.

I have a stiff neck and a headache at the same time. What should I book?
Neck stiffness and headaches often go together because tight neck muscles can refer pain into the head. A head, neck and shoulder massage or acupuncture for head, neck and jaw may help. A stiff neck with fever or a severe headache needs urgent medical care.
Book: Head, Neck and Shoulder Massage 45 mins ($100) or AcuRelief 45 min Head, Neck, Jaw (Headaches + Migraines) ($105)
