Neck Pain
Don't let neck pain control your life, our experienced chiropractors in Camberwell have a solution for you.
A pain in the neck.
Neck pain can be sharp, dull or aching and felt on both or one side of the neck. Neck pain can limit function and ability to smoothly move and turn your neck.
Many sufferers state that neck pain impedes their day-to-day activities, such as getting up from bed and doing a head check in the car.
The common symptoms associated with neck pain you may experience:
- Tight muscles especially neck and shoulders
- Unremitting pain, soreness and/or stiffness
- Numbness, tingling or shooting pain down the arm, hand and/or fingers
- Higher mood irritability
- Poor concentration
- Sleep interference
Neck pain can cause headaches
A common cause of headaches actually originate from the neck – this is termed cervicogenic headaches.

What causes neck pain?
Neck pain can come from a number of different sources, from a musculoskeletal perspective these can include:
- Tension neck syndrome (i.e., tech neck/text neck and increased screen time)
- Wry neck from improper sleep postures
- Aggressive sports and change of direction
- Whiplash from high-impact trauma
- Persistent postures that lead to muscle strain
- General wear and tear from overuse and age
These can lead to misalignments of the spine, what chiropractors call subluxation. This cause can lead to nerve irritation referring to or radiating into the shoulders and arms, local inflammation and muscle spasm.

Are chiropractic adjustments safe for the neck?
Yes, when performed by a qualified chiropractor, neck adjustments are generally safe. We are trained to assess risks and modify techniques based on individual needs.
Can I expect to feel immediate relief after a neck adjustment?
Some patients experience immediate improvement, while others notice gradual relief over a few visits. It depends on the severity and cause of your neck issue.
Can chiropractic care help with neck-related headaches or migraines?
Yes, in many cases. See our Headaches page for more info. If headaches are linked to altered cervical posture and tension or nerve pressure, chiropractic adjustments may help reduce their frequency and intensity.
Can I safely crack my neck at home?
This is highly not recommended. Self-manipulation (cracking) can cause joint instability or worsen a pre-existing issue. As professionals we are trained to use precise, controlled techniques. The Gonstead X-ray analysis allows us to tailor the treatment to your unique anatomy and condition.
