Ever tried turning your head when you have neck pain? It can be nearly impossible at times! This can not only make it difficult to go about your day but could also potentially be dangerous (think about driving!)

​

Neck pain can arise for many different reasons. It may be due to an acute injury/sprain, repetitive use, referred from the upper back, nerve compressions, stress/tension and even referred from organs! With so many potential causes, our Osteopaths will take you through a thorough history and examination to determine the cause of your pain.

​

Common neck specific complaints that our Osteopaths can manage include:

• Facet joint sprains

• Disc injuries

• Cervical nerve compressions

• Upper rib joint sprains

• Muscular tightness

 

Treatment of a neck injury will generally include Osteopathic manual therapy and exercise rehabilitation. Imaging may be requested if your Osteopath deems it necessary. Manual therapy and exercise rehabilitation have both been shown to improve pain associated with neck injury (Ruiz et al 2025). Your Osteopath will tailor the specific treatment plan to your unique circumstances, getting you back to the things you love in no time.
