What causes neck pain?

Neck pain often builds up over time but can also come on suddenly, usually from poor posture, prolonged screen time, awkward sleeping positions, or past injuries like whiplash. It can also stem from joint stiffness, disc issues, or muscle tension.

  • Neck pain can range from a mild ache to sharp, radiating discomfort. Common symptoms include:

    • Aching, sharp, or dull pain in the neck

    • Stiffness or reduced range of motion

    • Muscle tightness, tension, or spasms

    • Pain that radiates to the shoulders, upper back, or arms

    • Tingling, numbness, or weakness in the arms or hands

    • Headaches that start from the neck

    • Difficulty holding your head upright for long periods

  • Neck pain can stem from sudden injuries or build up gradually due to daily habits. Common causes include:

    • Poor posture (especially from prolonged desk work or screen use)

    • Awkward sleeping positions

    • Muscle strain from lifting or repetitive movements

    • Stress and tension leading to tight neck and shoulder muscles

    • Whiplash or previous trauma

    • Weak or imbalanced muscles

    • Age-related changes, disc issues, or arthritis

  • We treat a wide range of neck issues—from everyday stiffness and postural strain to more complex or long-term problems. Common conditions include:

    • Postural strain – muscle fatigue from poor desk or screen habits

    • Cervical disc bulges – pressure on nerves causing pain, tingling, or numbness

    • Whiplash injuries – sudden force causing joint and soft tissue strain

    • Facet joint irritation – inflammation in the small joints of the cervical spine

    • Muscle tension or spasms – often linked to stress or overuse

    • Pinched nerves (cervical radiculopathy) – nerve compression causing radiating pain or weakness

    • Cervical arthritis – age-related joint degeneration and stiffness

    • Tension neck syndrome – tightness and discomfort from chronic poor posture or stress

How Do We Treat

Neck Pain?

Chiropractic and physiotherapy for neck pain starts with a detailed assessment to identify what’s really causing the issue, whether it’s poor posture, joint dysfunction, nerve compression, or muscle imbalances. From there, we design a personalised treatment plan to relieve pain, improve mobility, and prevent the problem from coming back. Common treatments include:

  • A person receives physical therapy, stretching arm; mirrored reflection.

    Active Release Technique

    Active Release Technique (ART) is a targeted, hands-on treatment that relieves tight or damaged muscles, fascia, and tendons. By applying tension through specific guided movements, it breaks down scar tissue and restores mobility, ideal for tension headaches, chronic pain, and whiplash recovery.

  • Close-up of acupuncture needles in a person's shoulder during treatment

    Dry Needling

    Dry needling is used to release deep trigger points in the neck and shoulder region. The fine needle stimulates a twitch response in tight muscles, helping to relax knots, reduce inflammation, and restore normal movement. It’s particularly useful for chronic tension and neck pain that doesn’t ease with massage alone.

    Joint Mobilisation

    Joint manipulation aids in restoring movement to the area allowing for optimal nutrition and blood supply to discs and ligaments deep in the vertebral column. Manipulation, when used in conjunction with other modalities, creates a holistic and balanced treatment approach.

    Exercise Therapy

    As your pain reduces, we’ll guide you through targeted exercises to strengthen your neck, upper back, and postural muscles. These movements support spinal alignment, reduce stiffness, and help prevent future flare-ups, whether your pain started from a desk job, stress, or past injury
