Neck Pain Treatment in Brisbane
Whether you woke up with a kink in your neck or you’ve been struggling with chronic neck pain for years, our Stott Chiropractic team wants to help! The neck is a sensitive area that can be impacted by restrictions in the spine, shoulder problems or even hip issues.
Finding the Issue
Our experienced chiropractors are focused on locating and correcting the underlying problem, rather than simply looking at your symptoms. They’ll talk with you about your current condition and your overall health history to help determine if your issue is acute or chronic and how it may have started. Things like working all day at a desk, poor posture, weakness in the shoulder or back muscles and forward head carriage can all affect the function and mobility of your neck.
Next, they’ll conduct a thorough examination, including orthopaedic assessments, range of motion tests, neurological exams and, if needed, X-rays. They’ll review all of these results and, if the problem is chiropractic in nature, they’ll design a care plan to help restore correct alignment and function to the area.
Other Symptoms of Neck Problems
Sometimes the problem shows up somewhere else, even though it stems from an issue in the neck. If you have headaches, migraines or jaw problems such as temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, the underlying cause may be located in your neck. That’s why we always conduct thorough full-body examinations—because everything is connected, and pain doesn’t always show up where the problem is.
Our Comprehensive Approach
In addition to your chiropractic adjustments or mobilisations, your chiropractor may recommend a customised rehab plan to stabilise and strengthen the muscles of the upper back, shoulders and neck. They may also include soft tissue work and/or cold laser therapy.
