Neck Pain Physiotherapy
Neck pain and headache physiotherapy
Physiotherapy for neck pain, stiffness, restricted movement and neck-related headaches — in clinic at Jesmond, Yagoona and Parramatta, or at home.
Neck pain can come on suddenly after sleeping awkwardly or build gradually with desk work, stress or reduced activity. It often comes with stiffness, shoulder or upper-back tension, and sometimes headaches.
Physiotherapy aims to restore comfortable movement, build strength and endurance in the neck and upper back, and give you practical strategies for work and daily life.
Bulk billing at our clinics
Eligible Medicare patients referred under a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP) can be bulk billed at our Jesmond, Yagoona and Parramatta clinics.
Common presentations
Including:
- Acute neck pain and 'wry neck'
- Persistent neck pain and stiffness
- Neck pain related to desk work or posture
- Pain spreading into the shoulder blade or arm
- Neck pain after a car accident (whiplash-associated disorders)
- Neck-related (cervicogenic) headaches
Assessment
We assess neck and upper-back movement, muscle strength and endurance, nerve function in the arms, and the activities that bring on your symptoms. We also screen for signs that need medical review, such as unexplained dizziness, visual disturbance, or weakness and numbness in the arms.
Treatment approaches
Treatment may include targeted strengthening, mobility exercises, hands-on treatment where appropriate, and advice on activity, sleep and workstation set-up. We progress your program as symptoms settle so you can manage independently.
Frequently asked questions
Physiotherapy may help headaches that are associated with neck dysfunction (cervicogenic headaches). We assess whether your neck may be contributing and refer to your GP if another cause is suspected.
No. Many people improve with exercise and gentle hands-on treatment. Any manual therapy is discussed with you first and only used where appropriate.
