Neck and shoulder tension
By mid-afternoon your shoulders are up around your ears and turning your head takes effort. Neck and shoulder tension is often linked to posture-related strain from work or daily activities. Chiropractic care and soft tissue work may help people manage it.
Why it builds up
Desk work, driving, phones and carrying children all keep the neck and shoulders working for long stretches.
How we assess it
We ask about your work and routines, check how your neck and shoulders move, and explain what we find.
What may help
Your plan might include hands-on care, massage, dry needling and simple changes to your setup. Results vary between people.
When to get urgent help
See a doctor urgently if neck pain comes with fever, severe headache, weakness in an arm, or follows an accident.
Is my desk the problem?
It can be part of it. We will ask about your setup and suggest small changes that are realistic.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book without a GP referral. If your GP has referred you under a Medicare plan, bring the paperwork and tell us when you book.
Can I claim on my health fund?
Many funds cover this kind of care, depending on your level of extras. Bring your card and check your cover with your fund first.
