Neck Pain
Neck pain is incredibly common, with many of us experiencing it at some point in our lives. It can range from a mild ache or stiffness to more persistent pain that can interfere with sleep, work, exercise and everyday activities. While medication may provide temporary relief, many people are also turning to chiropractic care to help manage their neck pain.
Neck pain can be associated with muscle tension, poor posture, prolonged sitting, repetitive activities, injuries and changes in the joints of the neck and upper back. At Newcastle Chiropractic we focus on the spine, joints and surrounding muscles to help identify factors that may be contributing to your neck pain.
Through gentle spinal adjustments and hands-on care, we aim to improve joint movement, reduce muscle tension and help restore normal function. Many patients report improvements in their neck pain, stiffness and movement following chiropractic care, particularly when treatment is combined with appropriate exercises and lifestyle changes.
While occasional neck stiffness is common, persistent, worsening or recurring neck pain is worth having assessed. You should also seek prompt assessment if neck pain follows a significant injury, or is accompanied by symptoms such as numbness, weakness, severe headache, dizziness, problems with balance or changes in bladder or bowel control.
In addition to hands-on care, we also provide practical advice on posture, ergonomics, exercises and everyday habits that may help reduce the strain placed on your neck and prevent recurring problems.
