Chiropractic for Neck Pain

Neck pain can be an extremely debilitating condition, affecting a person’s ability to function normally in their everyday life. For example, someone with severe neck pain may have difficulty performing simple tasks like walking or driving, since the pain and stiffness in their neck can make it difficult to move their head and shoulders freely.

Finally, neck pain can also affect a person’s ability to sleep, which can further exacerbate the symptoms of this condition.

What Causes It?

Everyone has had a stiff neck at some point. Here are some common causes:

  • Arthritis
  • Disc degeneration
  • Joint restriction
  • Narrowing of the spinal canal
  • Strain
  • Trauma from accidents
In rare cases, it may be a sign of something more serious, so it is important to monitor symptoms closely. If your neck pain follows an injury, or comes with numbness, weakness, fever or severe headache, please see your GP or call 000.

We know it is hard to get through the day when you have neck pain. That’s why we encourage you to contact The IN8 Life. We can book you in as soon as possible, and our team can offer suggestions over the phone regarding rest, ice, heat, or possible gentle stretching.

What to Expect

We have a thorough consultation process to help identify any contributing factors to understand your neck pain.

Tips to Look After Your Neck

We educate patients on how to avoid issues in the future. Here are three tips to help prevent neck pain:

1. Be mindful of correct posture
