Neck pain can interfere with nearly every part of your daily life - from turning your head while driving, to working at your desk, or getting a good night’s sleep. Whether it’s a recent injury or a chronic problem, neck pain often stems from issues in the joints, muscles, nerves, or discs of the cervical spine.
At Spine Studios, we provide focused, hands-on care to help you find relief from neck pain and restore normal movement. With over 65 years of combined experience, we assess the likely causes of neck pain and provide care that is tailored to your individual needs.
Common Causes of Neck Pain
Neck pain may result from sudden trauma, repetitive strain, or long-standing postural habits. In some cases, it can also be caused by disc-related conditions in the cervical spine.
Common causes we see include:
Poor posture (e.g., prolonged computer or phone use)
Whiplash or motor vehicle injuries
Cervical disc herniation or bulges
Degenerative disc disease or arthritis
Muscular tension and stress-related tightness
Sports injuries or workplace strain
Neck pain may also be accompanied by stiffness, headaches, radiating pain into the arms, pins and needles, or weakness - especially if a nerve is being compressed by a disc injury.
Neck Pain Treatment The Gap
Common symptoms of Neck Pain:
Limited range of motion in the neck
Pain that worsens with movement or sitting
Tension spreading into the shoulders or upper back
Headaches starting from the base of the skull
Tingling, numbness, or pain down one or both arms
If these symptoms are affecting your quality of life, we recommend booking a thorough assessment to uncover the root cause and explore how chiropractic may help.
How Chiropractic May Help Your Neck Pain
At Spine Studios, we tailor your care to your specific condition and comfort level. For neck pain, we often use a combination of:
Gentle spinal adjustments to restore joint mobility
Activator and drop-piece techniques for low-force corrections
Soft tissue release to ease muscle tightness
Cervical decompression therapy for disc-related issues
Postural and ergonomic advice to support long-term recovery
Rehabilitation exercises to improve strength and stability
For disc-related neck pain or suspected nerve involvement, we may refer for further imaging, such as an X-ray (covered under Medicare) or an MRI, to ensure the most accurate diagnosis and co-management of care.
What to Expect from Your First Visit
Your initial consultation will involve a detailed clinical history and physical examination, including orthopaedic and neurological testing. If we identify signs of a disc injury or serious underlying cause, we may refer you for imaging or liaise with other health professionals.
Our chiropractic care is aimed at reducing discomfort, improving mobility, and supporting you in returning to your normal activities - without relying on medication or invasive procedures.
Many of our patients come to us after weeks, months, or even years of dealing with persistent neck pain. Whether your symptoms are new or ongoing, we’re here to help with safe, experienced care that’s grounded in both clinical knowledge and genuine support.
