Neck Pain
Are you experiencing neck pain? Northbridge Chiropractic offers holistic chiropractic treatments and muscle therapy at our clinic in Perth to treat a variety of conditions which cause neck pain. Whether the pain you’re experiencing is caused by a single incident that strained your neck, degenerative disc disease, disc bulges, a pinched nerve or a neck injury like whiplash, our practitioners provide effective hands-on treatment and experienced advice to treat the symptoms and alleviate the pain.
How To Stretch Your Neck
Neck stretches, when performed correctly and safely, are an excellent way to reduce tension in the neck region and the pain it causes. Some of the neck pain relief stretches our qualified and experienced health practitioners may recommend include:
- Behind the back neck stretch
- Seated clasping neck stretch
- Forwards and backwards tilt
- Grounded tipover tuck
- Seated heart opener
- Seated neck release
- Shoulder roll
Stretches like these can be performed at home and some you can even do at work while sitting at your desk. Taking the time to stretch your neck a few times can make a big difference to your day and your overall quality of life; however, stretching is no substitute for effective chiro and muscle therapy treatments delivered by a qualified practitioner.
Neck Pain And Headaches
There are many causes of headaches, with poor posture, neck tension and dysfunction in the cervical spine three common causes that can be treated with traditional chiropractic adjustments and muscle therapy techniques. Treatment for headaches usually involves treating the pain-sensitive structures in the upper neck (cervical), the back of the head (occipital) and the cervical spine joints, ligaments and muscles in the neck and shoulders.
The chiropractic and muscle therapy treatment methods our practitioners may provide in your neck pain treatment plan include spinal adjustments, dry needling, trigger point therapy and myofascial release. They’ll also provide advice on how to safely stretch your neck to alleviate short and long-term pain, as well as recommended postural and dietary changes.

Frequently Ask Questions
Chiropractic care in Perth | simple answers to common questions
1. What does a chiropractor do?
- A chiropractor looks at how your body moves and functions as a whole. This includes your posture, joints, muscles, and nervous system. At Northbridge Chiropractic, we focus on understanding what may be contributing to your symptoms, not just where it hurts.
2. Can chiropractic help with back or neck pain?
- Many people visit for back discomfort, neck tension, headaches, or stiffness. Chiropractic care may help support how your body moves and manages daily load, which can play a role in how these issues show up. A proper assessment helps guide what’s appropriate for you.
3. Why does my pain keep coming back?
- Pain often isn’t the starting point. Things like posture, work habits, stress, and movement patterns build up over time. If those don’t change, the body can return to the same pattern. That’s why we focus on long-term changes, not just short-term relief.
4. What happens at your first chiropractic appointment?
Your first visit is about understanding your situation.
We’ll go through:
- Your history
- How your body is moving
- What may be contributing
We then explain what we’re seeing and what your options are.
5. Do I need ongoing chiropractic care?
- Care is always your choice. Some people come in for short-term support. Others choose ongoing care to stay consistent and support their long-term health. We guide you, but you decide what fits your life.
6. Is chiropractic care safe?
- Chiropractic care is widely used to support movement and function. We take the time to assess properly and tailor care to the individual. If something isn’t suitable, we’ll let you know.
7. Do you need X-rays?
- Not always. We only consider imaging if it’s clinically appropriate and helps guide care. In many cases, a thorough assessment is enough.
8. I already stretch and exercise, why am I still tight?
- Tightness isn’t always about needing more stretching. It can be your body responding to how you move, sit, or manage stress. If the underlying pattern stays the same, the tightness often returns.
9. Can I keep working or exercising?
- In most cases, yes. We aim to keep you moving while adjusting how much load your body is handling.
10. How do I book a chiropractor in Perth?
- You can book online at a time that suits you. If you’re not sure where to start, we’re happy to guide you through the process.
