● CONDITION · NECK PAIN

Hands-on treatment for neck pain

Neck pain can affect everything from your ability to concentrate at a desk to a full night's sleep, whether it's a stiff neck that won't ease up, a nagging ache after a long day, or pain that radiates into your shoulder or arm. At our clinic, we take a thorough, evidence-based approach to identifying exactly what's driving your neck pain, then build a treatment plan around you — drawing on the most appropriate combination of hands-on therapy, targeted rehabilitation, and advanced treatments available across our clinic, to relieve your symptoms and help prevent them coming back.

Does this describe you?

  • You wake up with a stiff neck that takes a while to loosen through the morning
  • Long hours at a screen or desk leave your neck and shoulders tight and aching
  • You've developed a habit of rolling or cracking your neck just to feel some relief
  • Turning your head to check your blind spot or reverse the car brings on pain
  • Your neck pain comes with headaches, or pain that spreads into your shoulders
  • You've had a niggling, stiff neck for so long you've just learned to live with it
  • Pain, tingling or numbness is starting to travel down your arm or into your hand
  • You've tried a foam roller, stretching, or painkillers, but nothing's fixed the actual cause

If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone — and it's exactly what we help patients with, every day.

DIAGNOSIS

Types of Neck Pain We Treat

Each one needs a different treatment approach — which is why the first appointment exists to identify exactly which is yours.

Mechanical Neck Pain

The most common type of neck pain, often caused by muscle tension, poor posture, or joint stiffness, typically felt as a dull, persistent ache that can worsen with movement.

Postural Neck Pain ("Tech Neck")

Pain that builds gradually from prolonged screen use, poor desk setup, or looking down at a phone for long periods, often felt across the base of the neck and into the upper back and shoulders.

Whiplash and Acute Neck Injuries

Pain following a sudden jolt or impact, such as a car accident or fall, which can cause muscle strain, ligament sprain, and restricted movement in the days and weeks afterward.

Cervical Radiculopathy

Pain, numbness, tingling or weakness that radiates from the neck into the shoulder, arm or hand, caused by irritation or compression of a nerve root in the cervical spine.

Cervical Disc-Related Pain

Pain caused by a bulging or herniated disc in the neck pressing on nearby nerves, which can cause localised neck pain as well as referred symptoms into the arm.

Facet Joint Pain

Pain arising from the small joints connecting the vertebrae in the neck, often causing stiffness and pain that's worse with turning or tilting the head.

Torticollis (Wry Neck)

A sudden, often painful muscle spasm that causes the neck to twist or tilt to one side, typically coming on quickly and significantly limiting movement.

Tension Headaches Linked to the Neck

Headaches originating from tight or restricted muscles and joints in the neck and upper back, often felt at the base of the skull or spreading to the temples.

Degenerative Neck Pain (Cervical Spondylosis)

Age-related wear affecting the discs and joints of the neck, often leading to stiffness, chronic aching, and reduced range of movement over time.

Sports and Exercise-Related Neck Pain

Pain resulting from overuse, poor technique, or acute injury during sport or exercise, including contact sports and repetitive strain from activities like cycling or swimming.

— OUR APPROACH —

How we can help.

At our clinic, we take a thorough, evidence-based approach to identifying exactly what's driving your neck pain, then build a treatment plan around you — drawing on the most appropriate combination of hands-on therapy, targeted rehabilitation, and advanced treatments available across our clinic, to relieve your symptoms and help prevent them coming back.

Neck pain is easy to underestimate — a "stiff neck" is often written off as something to stretch out, when in reality it can be driven by anything from postural strain and joint restriction to nerve irritation travelling down the arm. Getting the right diagnosis first is what separates a treatment plan that actually works from one that just chases the symptom.

That's why every patient starts with a thorough, hands-on assessment, before we build a plan specific to you. For many patients, this means a combination of osteopathy and physiotherapy, working on both the joints and the surrounding muscles; where nerve-related symptoms or disc involvement are suspected, we may also bring in IDD Therapy or dry needling as part of your plan — all delivered by practitioners working together under one roof, rather than in isolation.

We promise meaningful, hands-on treatment from your very first appointment — care designed to bring soothing relief while we get to the root of what's actually causing your pain, not just settle for easing the symptom in front of us.
