Neck pain can impact everything from how you sleep to how you work, move, and live. At Better Health Osteopathy, we take a hands-on, whole-body approach to get to the root of your neck pain and help you find lasting relief. Whether it’s caused by posture, injury, stress, or spinal tension, our osteopaths tailor every treatment to suit your needs and goals.
Neck pain can stem from a variety of physical, postural, and systemic factors. Common causes include poor desk posture or spending long hours in front of a screen, sudden trauma such as whiplash or sports injuries, and spinal or joint restrictions. It may also be linked to a tight jaw, teeth grinding, stress, muscular tension, osteoarthritis, or referred pain from other areas of the spine. During your initial appointment, we’ll assess what’s driving your discomfort so we can tailor a treatment and recovery plan that targets the root cause.
Your neck is connected to everything – spine, shoulders, jaw, and even your posture habits. That’s why we never just look at your neck in isolation. We assess your full spine and overall movement to pinpoint exactly what’s contributing to your discomfort. From there, we’ll create a personalised treatment plan that may include:
