Where do I get neck pain treatment in Altona?

Our Altona clinic at 22 Reserve Court treats neck pain with osteopathy and myotherapy, including cervicogenic headaches and tension-related neck pain, for patients across Melbourne's inner west.

What causes neck pain?

Neck pain has many causes including muscle strain, poor posture, cervical disc injury, facet joint irritation, whiplash, and osteoarthritis. Tension headaches and cervicogenic headaches (headaches originating from the neck) are also commonly associated with neck dysfunction. Accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment.

Can an osteopath help with neck pain?

Yes. Osteopathy can help with neck pain. Our osteopaths use gentle hands-on techniques to release joint restrictions, reduce muscle tension, and restore normal movement in the cervical spine. Your osteopath will explain what to expect at your first appointment.

Can neck pain cause headaches?

Yes. Cervicogenic headaches originate from dysfunction in the cervical spine (neck) and are very common. They are often felt at the base of the skull, behind the eyes, or across the forehead. Physiotherapy and osteopathy are both commonly used for cervicogenic headaches, addressing the underlying neck dysfunction rather than just the headache symptoms.

How long does neck pain treatment take?

It depends on the cause, how long you have had it, and your goals. Longer-standing neck pain, or pain associated with a disc injury, usually needs a longer programme. Your practitioner will give you a personalised plan and a realistic timeline at your initial assessment.

Common Causes

What's causing your neck pain?

Neck Pain is rarely "just neck pain." At Injury Active Clinic Altona, we identify the specific structure causing your pain, then treat it directly.

Muscle Strain

Overuse, sudden movement, or sustained postures that overload the cervical muscles, common in desk workers and those who use screens for extended periods.

Cervical Disc Injury

Disc bulges or herniations in the neck that compress nearby nerves, causing local pain and referred symptoms into the arm, shoulder, or hand.

Facet Joint Irritation

Inflammation or degeneration of the small joints between cervical vertebrae, causing localised stiffness and pain that worsens with rotation or extension.

Whiplash

Rapid acceleration-deceleration injury to the neck, most commonly from motor vehicle accidents, causing soft tissue damage and joint dysfunction.

Cervicogenic Headaches

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.

Osteoarthritis

Age-related degeneration of cervical joints and discs causing chronic stiffness, reduced range of motion, and aching pain.
