If you are suffering from neck pain then Chiropractic and Myotherapy can provide you with the relief you need.
As you now know neck pain is very common. Most people have had the experience and nobody is the better for it. It makes all elements of your life hard to tolerate.
In our modern world the potential for neck pain is high. The causes are many and we often have more than one contributor.
The most common way is by repeated and long duration stress to ligaments, muscles and joints.
The neck is also vulnerable to injuries with rapid, sudden or forceful movements
Chronic (long term from 6 weeks to months or even years) neck pain can develop in a number of ways
Neck pain has many presentations both at the neck and elsewhere
The first and most important step is to evaluate if we can help you. We are well trained to conduct a thorough history followed by an orthopaedic, neurological and physical examination.
If you have any imagery studies already performed these are valuable. If you don’t these may be requested if the history and examination deems this important to your case.
At the end of our examination we will be able to provide you with an accurate diagnosis of what the problem is.
If after the examination we determine that we can help you we will plan a Course of Action to get you back to where you want to be. We will be able to give you
a) A timeline of how long the process will take
b) The techniques we recommend
c) What you need to modify at home and work
d) Give you any necessary exercises and advice that assist recovery
Northcote Chiropractic Centre has been in the same building at 435 St Georges Rd Thornbury since 1980. We understand the people in our area and know how to help them. From old to young, office workers to tradies, active to inactive, we can get you back to where you need to be.
A first consultation will take up to 30 minutes. In that time we will listen to your concerns and then give a thorough physical and neurological examination. We will spend all the time necessary to hear your concerns and where you want to be instead. Once we know this we will provide you with a Plan that includes what care you need, what techniques we will use and provide any referrals to other health professionals that may be required to get you well.
The chiropractors at Northcote Chiropractic Centre are constantly examining and appraising the latest developments and techniques in the musculoskeletal field. We recognize that the population is changing. How we work and play is different. The computer and mobile phone are an integral part of how we live these days. However they can have an impact on our neck and backs both directly and indirectly. We understand this and so can give plenty of advice about how to manage them.
We expect so much more as we age than our parents did. Our activity levels and expectations of travel and exercise are much higher as we age than used to be the case. Let us help you manage that and not be troubles or limited by your aging hips and back.
