A stiff neck is usually noticed on waking: the head will not turn to one side, and trying to turn it brings a sharp pain. People often fear something serious, but the picture is generally muscular and joint-related and settles within days with the right approach. The real issue is not that first week — it is the recurrence: a neck that locks once will lock again within the same year if the underlying cause is not addressed. In Bursa Nilüfer, Fzt. Kemran Hafız aims both to shorten the acute phase and to prevent it from repeating.
About your physiotherapist
Fzt. Kemran Hafız provides one-to-one care for stiff neck at the clinic in Bursa Nilüfer — in Fethiye Mahallesi, on Kelebek Sokak, at a central point of Nilüfer, opposite the Fethiye covered market.
It is a short trip by car or public transport from İhsaniye, Odunluk, Balat, Özlüce, Ataevler, 23 Nisan and the surrounding areas. Every session is one-to-one, assessment-based and tailored to you.
If dizziness, imbalance or numbness spreading into the arm accompanies neck stiffness, the picture isn't only muscle-origin. The deep muscles in the neck report the head's position to the nervous system; when that information is disrupted, balance complaints can appear. Findings spreading into the arm point to the nerve root.
Fzt. Kemran Hafız makes this distinction through neurological examination and builds the programme accordingly. If there's noticeable loss of hand dexterity, progressive numbness or a change in gait, physician assessment is requested before physiotherapy.

The severity of the pain alone isn't what decides the surgery decision for a herniated disc. Whether there's a nerve finding completely changes the direction of the decision.
