Tension headaches, pressure that builds through the day, tightness that starts at the base of the skull, we look at the neck and spine driving it, not just the symptom.
The neck carries your head through every hour of the day, so it feels the cost of long screen time, poor sleep posture and stress quickly. Stiffness, reduced rotation and a dull ache between the shoulders are some of the most common things we see.
Because the upper neck is closely tied to headaches and jaw tension, we assess the whole region rather than treating the sore muscle in isolation.
We start by assessing how your neck and upper back move and where that movement is being limited. Gentle adjustments restore motion to restricted segments, easing the muscles that have been working overtime to compensate.
No mystery, no guesswork, a considered process built around what your body needs.
A full assessment of neck and upper-back movement and how it’s affecting you.
We show you what we found and how care can help, with a clear timeline.
Gentle adjustments and guidance, adjusted as your range returns.
There are several reasons why you may be experiencing neck pain. Understanding the underlying cause is essential for effective treatment, and we use a range of diagnostic techniques to pinpoint the source of your pain and develop a comprehensive care plan.
Chiropractic care offers a drug-free, natural solution for treating neck pain. By using spinal adjustments and other techniques, we work to realign the spine, reduce nerve irritation and improve joint mobility. Our goal is not just to alleviate your pain but to help you maintain a healthy spine for the long term.
We start with a comprehensive consultation to understand your symptoms, medical history and lifestyle. This helps us identify the root cause of your pain and develop a personalised care plan. We then perform a physical exam to evaluate your range of motion, posture and any spinal misalignments. In some cases, additional imaging may be required.
After the initial consultation we provide a report of findings. At your Report of Findings visit, we walk you through exactly what’s going on in your body, how we can help, and what to expect, including timeline and costs, so you can decide what’s best for you.
In the early stages of treatment, our goal is to relieve pain and discomfort. This may include spinal adjustments, soft tissue work and advice on activity modification. We’ll also discuss the things you can be doing to look after yourself better and get results faster.
For long-term relief, we focus on restoring spinal function, improving mobility and strengthening the muscles supporting your spine. Regular adjustments, combined with exercises and lifestyle adjustments, can help prevent future flare-ups and manage ongoing discomfort.
