Neck Pain
Most neck pain involves both the joints and the muscles. Our combination treatment targets both in a single session, so you can turn your head again before you leave.
Where Neck Pain Comes From
Most causes of neck pain are a mix of joint and muscular problems: a stiff facet joint in the neck, tight muscles at the base of the skull and across the tops of the shoulders, and often a nerve that's irritated by both. Desk work, driving, phone posture and poor sleep positions all feed it.
Your chiropractor will work to find the cause of your pain, with the combination treatment targeting both the joint and the muscle in one session.
We Treat
- Stiff neck and restricted turning
- Neck pain with headaches (see headaches & migraines)

Watch: From Unable to Tilt His Head, to No Pain
Watch this patient change from being unable to tilt his head to moving freely without pain, at the hands of our chiropractor. Please note this is just a snippet of a 30-minute treatment that also contained a lot of deep tissue massage.
What Patients Say
"I suffer from severe migraine and tension headaches which always start in my neck. Before my treatments started it was unbearable. Now I am hardly having to use my medication and life is once again bearable. I always feel amazing after each treatment."

Is Neck Adjustment Safe?
Neck adjustments performed by a qualified chiropractor after a proper assessment are safe for the vast majority of people. We screen for any reason not to adjust at your first visit and use gentler mobilisation where appropriate. You'll never be adjusted without knowing what's coming.
Why Does My Neck Pain Cause Headaches?
The joints, nerves and muscles of the upper neck refer pain into the head. These cervicogenic headaches respond very well to adjustment combined with massage of the neck and shoulder muscles.
Can Massage Alone Fix It?
If the problem is purely muscular, yes. But if a joint is stiff, massage gives temporary relief and the tightness returns. That's why we recommend the combination treatment for neck pain rather than massage on its own.
