Lower Back Pain
Lower back pain can affect everyday activities, work, exercise, and sleep. Whether you're experiencing a sore lower back, back muscle strain or spasm, lower back ache, or middle/ upper back ache, our chiropractors provide a thorough assessment to understand factors that may be contributing to your discomfort. Chiropractic care may help improve spinal and joint function, support movement, and assist with managing pain associated with back-related musculoskeletal conditions.
Back Problems and Sciatica
Many people seek chiropractic care for ongoing back problems, including lumbar pain, lower back tightness, and symptoms associated with sciatica. Sciatica pain may involve discomfort, tingling, numbness, or sensations that travel from the lower back into the buttock or leg. Following a comprehensive assessment, we can discuss appropriate management options, including chiropractic care, movement advice, and sciatica specific stretches where suitable. If you are looking for back ache treatment, lower back pain relief, sciatica treatment, or guidance regarding possible sciatica causes, sciatica symptoms, and strategies for sciatica relief, our team can help determine the most appropriate course of care.
Neck Pain
Neck pain can develop gradually or occur suddenly after poor sleep, prolonged desk work, overuse of technology and phones, stress, or injury. Common complaints include sore neck muscles, stiff neck pain (sometimes after sleeping), sore neck and shoulders, side of neck pain, painful trapezius, tech neck, neck ache, and neck spasm. Some people also experience a neck ache causing headache. Our chiropractors assess the joints, muscles, and movement of the neck and upper back to identify contributing factors and provide personalised neck pain treatment aimed at improving function and supporting sore neck relief.
Headaches and Migraines
Headaches can vary in type, frequency, and severity. People may seek assessment for tension, stress and cluster headaches, ocular migraine, sinus and nasal headaches, icepick headaches, headaches behind eyes or on top of head, or back of head pain. While headaches can have many causes, musculoskeletal factors involving the neck, jaw, and upper back may contribute in some cases. Our chiropractors assess each individual presentation and, where appropriate, provide conservative care that may form part of a broader management approach. We also work with patients seeking support for migraine treatment, headache treatment, and headache relief. If symptoms may indicate conditions such as hypertension headaches or another underlying health concern, referral to the appropriate healthcare provider may be recommended.
Pregnancy-Related Pelvic and Back Pain
Pregnancy places additional demands on the body and may contribute to discomfort in the back, pelvis, and lower limbs. Common concerns include back pain or ache during pregnancy, lower back pain or sciatica during pregnancy, leg cramps during pregnancy, and occasionally headaches during pregnancy. Our chiropractors provide gentle, pregnancy-appropriate care focused on comfort, movement, and function. Care is tailored to the individual and may include advice on posture, movement, and daily activities to help support wellbeing throughout pregnancy. Our chiropractors have completed extra training the the Webster technique and assessment protocol to specifically support a healthy pregnancy and labour.
Shoulder Pain
Shoulder complaints can make reaching, lifting, dressing, and sleeping uncomfortable. Whether you have pain in your shoulder or shoulder blade, neck and shoulder pain, left or right shoulder pain, shoulder pain when lifting arm, a sore or achy shoulder, pain between shoulders, shoulder muscle pain, or a stiff shoulder, our chiropractors can assess the shoulder, neck, and upper back to determine potential contributing factors. Chiropractic care may help improve joint mobility, support movement, and assist in the management of musculoskeletal shoulder conditions.
Disc Injuries
Spinal disc conditions can contribute to pain, stiffness, and nerve-related symptoms. Presentations may include a herniated disc, bulging disc, slipped disc, degenerative disc changes, lower back nerve pain, or other disc-related complaints. Following a detailed assessment, we can discuss whether chiropractic care is appropriate for your situation and develop a management plan focused on function, mobility, and symptom management. If you are looking for bulging disc relief, slipped disc treatment, or disc injury treatment, we will explain your options and refer when clinically indicated.
Postural Issues
Modern lifestyles often involve long periods of sitting, screen use, or repetitive movements that may contribute to bad or stooped posture, a humped back, neck hump, or rounded shoulders. Many people are interested in ways to fix bad posture, improve posture, achieve better posture correction, support spine alignment, or learn how to get better posture. Our chiropractors assess posture alongside movement patterns, spinal function, and daily habits. We may provide individualised advice, exercises such as rounded shoulder exercises, and practical strategies to support healthy posture and movement.
Whiplash
Whiplash is a common soft tissue neck injury that may occur following a motor vehicle accident, sporting impact, or sudden force to the head and neck. Symptoms can include pain, stiffness, reduced movement, headaches, muscle tension, and the need for neck pain relief. Our chiropractors provide assessment and conservative management for patients experiencing whiplash-related symptoms. Care is tailored to the stage of injury and individual needs, with a focus on supporting function, movement, and whiplash recovery. If you are seeking whiplash treatment or ongoing whiplash management, we will discuss appropriate options following a thorough clinical assessment.
