Understanding Neck Pain

A Modern and Very Common Complaint

Neck pain and stiffness is one of the most common ailments people experience in today's sedentary, screen-focused and often stressful environment. Whether it is a stiff neck that makes reversing the car difficult, a nagging ache across the shoulders, or a sharp pain with restricted movement, it significantly affects your daily life.

At Sexton Chiropractic, our chiropractors have been providing effective care for neck pain for more than 25 years. We assess the whole picture — your posture, your movement patterns, and the structures of your cervical spine — to determine the most appropriate approach for you.

Our practices are located in Surrey Hills in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Bendigo in central Victoria, and Torquay on the Surf Coast.

How We Treat It

Our Approach to Neck Pain

You will always be informed and actively involved in your care. Our chiropractors deliver treatment that is specific, gentle and effective — using a combination of manual therapy, soft tissue techniques, and tailored rehabilitation exercises.

Manual Therapy

Our chiropractors are highly skilled in delivering specific, gentle and effective manual adjustments and mobilisation techniques to the cervical spine, aimed at improving joint mobility and proprioception — healthy nerve function — and restoring comfortable range of motion.

Soft Tissue Therapy

The muscles supporting the neck are often tight and tender. Targeted soft tissue therapy releases this tension, reduces associated headache, and helps the spine respond better to adjustive care.

Stretching, Strengthening & Rehabilitation

We prescribe corrective exercises and postural guidance designed to address the underlying habits — prolonged sitting, screen posture, restricted movement — that contribute to recurring neck pain.

We recommend a lifestyle approach to health care. We aim to work with your body, not against it — promoting the philosophy of nature first and the basic guidelines of eating well, moving well and thinking well.
