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.

To make things clearer, we’ve broken it down into the most common causes:

    • Aching or sharp neck pain

    • Stiffness or reduced movement

    • Muscle tightness or spasms

    • Headaches from the neck

    • Tingling in shoulders or arms

  • Neck pain can stem from a range of issues, some from sudden injuries, others from daily habits that strain your body over time. Common causes include:

    • Poor posture (especially at a desk)

    • Sleeping in awkward positions

    • Stress and muscle tension

    • Previous injuries like whiplash

    • Long hours on screens or devices

    • Weak or imbalanced muscles

    • Age-related changes or disc issues

  • We treat a wide range of neck issues, from everyday stiffness to more complex or long-standing problems. Some of the most common conditions we see include:

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

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

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

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

    • Muscle tension or spasms – often stress-related or from overuse

    • Nerve impingement – pinched nerves leading to pain radiating down the arms

    • Cervical arthritis – age-related stiffness, inflammation, and reduced mobility

    Whether you're dealing with persistent neck pain, nerve symptoms, or reduced mobility, our physios tailor treatment plans to relieve discomfort and restore strength and range.

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.

    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.

    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

    Kinesio Tape, Cupping & More

    We may also incorporate techniques like kinesio taping, cupping, Graston scraping, and other manual therapies to support healing between sessions. These treatments help reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, support posture, and enhance neck stability as your recovery progresses.
