Neck Pain Treatment Melbourne
Stiffness, headaches, nerve pain, or chronic aching. Our physios and osteopaths treat the cause of your neck pain, not just the symptoms.
Expert Neck Pain Care
Neck pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints in Australia, affecting people of all ages, from desk workers and drivers to athletes and tradies. Left untreated, it can lead to chronic pain, headaches, nerve symptoms, and restricted movement that significantly impacts quality of life.
At Injury Active Clinic, our physiotherapists and osteopaths are experienced in diagnosing and treating all types of neck pain, from acute muscle strains to chronic disc injuries and cervicogenic headaches. We take a thorough, evidence-based approach to find the cause and build a treatment plan that delivers lasting results.
Common Causes
Overuse, sudden movement, or sustained postures that overload the cervical muscles, common in desk workers and those who use screens for extended periods.
Disc bulges or herniations in the neck that compress nearby nerves, causing local pain and referred symptoms into the arm, shoulder, or hand.
Inflammation or degeneration of the small joints between cervical vertebrae, causing localised stiffness and pain that worsens with rotation or extension.
Rapid acceleration-deceleration injury to the neck, most commonly from motor vehicle accidents, causing soft tissue damage and joint dysfunction.
Headaches that originate from dysfunction in the upper cervical spine, often felt at the base of the skull and radiating to the forehead or behind the eyes.
Age-related degeneration of cervical joints and discs causing chronic stiffness, reduced range of motion, and aching pain.
Our Approach
Manual therapy, neural mobilisation, postural correction, and targeted exercise rehabilitation for cervical spine conditions.
