Q: Can a chiropractor help with neck stiffness?
Neck stiffness is something we see regularly. A thorough assessment can help identify what may be contributing and whether chiropractic care is appropriate for your situation.
Q: Can neck problems cause headaches?
Yes, this is a well-recognised pattern. Dysfunction or tension in the upper cervical spine and surrounding muscles can refer pain into the head. If your headaches tend to come with neck stiffness or tension, it is worth having this assessed properly.
Q: Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?
No. You can book directly with us online or by phone. If during your assessment we feel you would benefit from seeing another health professional, we will let you know.
Q: How long will it take to notice a difference?
This varies from person to person. It depends on factors such as how long the issue has been present, its underlying cause, and how consistently you are able to attend care. We discuss realistic expectations at your first visit, specific to your situation.
Q: Is neck cracking during an adjustment normal?
The sound that can occur during a chiropractic adjustment is caused by a change in pressure within the joint. It is generally not harmful and is a normal part of the process for many people. We are happy to explain exactly what to expect before we begin any treatment.
Q: Can you help with whiplash-related neck pain?
Whiplash and neck injuries are conditions we commonly assess and support. The approach will depend on the nature and severity of the injury, which is why a proper assessment is always the starting point.
Q: Do you accept private health insurance?
Yes. We accept all major health fund cards. We recommend checking your level of cover with your insurer before your visit.
