Our Approach to Neck Pain
Neck pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints seen at Pro Health Clinic, encompassing acute stiff neck (torticollis), chronic postural neck pain, disc-related arm pain, and cervicogenic headaches. Assessment identifies the specific structures and contributing factors involved — whether that's facet joint irritation, disc pathology, muscle tension, or postural loading from desk work.
Treatment for neck pain integrates joint mobilisation and manipulation, soft tissue work, dry needling where appropriate, and structured exercise to address the postural and strength deficits that perpetuate neck problems. For most patients, neck pain is manageable and preventable — particularly when the contributing factors (screen time, poor ergonomics, sustained postures) are addressed alongside hands-on treatment.

What to Expect at Your First Appointment

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Pro Health Clinic from Petersham?
Pro Health Clinic is approximately 2.5km from Petersham — two T2 train stops from Petersham Station to Ashfield, taking about 5 minutes, or an 8-minute drive along New Canterbury Road.

What causes neck pain near Petersham?
Neck pain has many causes — the most common are postural strain from desk work and device use, facet joint irritation from movement or position, muscle tension from stress or repetitive postures, and cervical disc irritation. Less commonly, neck pain is referred from the shoulder or upper thoracic spine. Accurate assessment identifies the driver for effective treatment.
Can a chiropractor help with headaches caused by neck pain near Petersham?
Yes — cervicogenic headaches (headaches originating from the neck) respond well to chiropractic and physiotherapy treatment. Joint mobilisation, soft tissue work, and postural correction address the cervical structures driving the headache. Many patients with long-standing headaches find significant relief with appropriate neck treatment.
How should I sleep to help neck pain near Petersham?
Side or back sleeping is generally better than stomach sleeping for neck pain. A pillow that supports the natural curve of your neck is important — neither too high nor too low. Your practitioner will advise on pillow type and sleeping position modifications appropriate for your specific presentation.
