Neck Pain Chiropractor in Braddon, Canberra
Understanding Neck Pain
Neck pain is a common musculoskeletal complaint that can affect movement, posture, and daily activities. It may arise from poor posture, prolonged desk work, stress-related tension, or musculoskeletal imbalances. At Capital Chiropractic Centre in Braddon, Canberra, we provide a thorough, patient-centred assessment to help understand your neck discomfort and support improved function.
How chiropractic care may support you
At Capital Chiropractic Centre we take a holistic approach with neck pain, we treat your entire body, not just where it hurts. There can be many factors into what is causing your neck pain, so it is essential we provide an accurate diagnosis.
Our process involves a complimentary consultation which allows us to determine if we are in fact the right people to help you. If we are not, we will be sure to refer you to the right people. If we deem that we can help you, you will move on to a paid examination.
During this examination process, we will perform a range of orthopaedic, neurological, postural and musculoskeletal tests in order to find out what the problem is. Once we have all of this information, we will report back to you with our findings.
From here we will create a personalised treatment plan, designed to help you recover naturally. Our treatment approach will include spinal adjustments, adjustments to the joints of the body particularly the lower limb, muscle work, plus the prescription of rehab exercises and stretches designed to improve your posture.
With neck pain, we will also look at the lifestyle factors that have led to the injury and help you make modifications as necessary to prevent future instances.
Our chiropractors utilise a variety of different chiropractic techniques, from hands on manual style adjusting (Diversified and Gonstead), to gentle low-force techniques. Depending on your needs and your body type, we will cater a treatment style to suit your body.
Common Causes of Neck Pain
Neck pain can result from a variety of factors, including:
Poor posture, especially from prolonged sitting or device use
Muscle tension or strain
Joint stiffness or restricted spinal movement
Repetitive movements or work-related strain
Trauma, such as minor injuries or whiplash
Stress-related muscular tightness
Each individual’s presentation is different, so careful assessment is important to guide appropriate care.
What is the most common cause of neck pain?
Once we have ruled out any underlying disease or problem, the most common cause of neck pain is mechanical in nature. Meaning the joints of the spine are not moving as freely as they are designed to. This causes pain locally, can contribute to spinal degeneration, muscle spasms, building discs, and irritation of the nerves surrounding the neck.
Poor posture and spinal alignment are the most common cause of neck pain. Poor alignment places unnecessary pressure on the joints of the cervical (neck) spine.
