Get neck pain treatment from our physiotherapy team in Adelaide and return to the things you love.

Neck pain is highly treatable and responds very well to physiotherapy.

There are lots of causes for neck pain, and getting the right advice makes all the difference. Our team give you a clear diagnosis and immediate treatment to resolve pain fast.

When should I get help?

It’s a good idea to see a physio soon after a new injury if you are concerned, or a week or so after a minor injury if the pain has not resolved. If you have had neck pain for more than a few weeks without an obvious cause then a physio appointment will give you strategies to get better fast.

If you have had a recent high impact injury and are concerned about the risk of fracture then it is best to go the the Emergency Department.

Why us?

Our team use a model of High Value Healthcare where we aim to give you the skills to recover stronger and gain independence. We give you the skills to get better, and stay better.

We are not into ongoing appointments or band-aid solutions. Let us help you get better for good!

Examples of neck-related injuries that respond well to physio include:

  • Acute wry neck, e.g. when you wake up and are unable to look over your shoulder

  • Whiplash or neck pain after a car accident or fall

  • Posture related neck pain, e.g. pain with studying or desk work

  • Headache and migraine

  • Neck arthritis or stiffness

  • Chronic neck pain

  • Dizziness or vertigo e.g. BPPV

  • Neck and shoulder pain.

Understanding Chronic Pain
Understanding Chronic Pain

Chronic pain is incredibly common, but chronic injury is not. That would be like having a cut that never heals, which is incredibly uncommon! Unfortunately we do not have a common and well-understood model for explaining ongoing pain, and so most people who have ongoing pain feel like they have a long term injury. This means that they avoid load, and we know that load is one of the most important determinants of recovery. Avoidance becomes a kind of positive feedback loop. It can be a strong contributor to chronic pain.

Strength training for runners

A regular strength routine helps build more robust movement systems. It creates changes throughout your body, including: improved nervous system functioning and muscle/tendon biology. This means that you can adapt better to variations in load, which might be more hill running, increasing kilometres or adding speed work. This all helps to improve your running efficiency and performance.
