Spinal Works offers effective neck pain treatment at our Townsville chiropractic clinic. Whether you experience ongoing neck pain, intense or frequent radiating pain around the neck, or neck pain resulting from a traumatic event such as an accident, your path to pain-free living starts with Spinal Works.

Neck pain is one of the most common problems faced all over the world, with an estimated 10-20% of the global population experiencing neck problems at any one time. Neck pain also has a high rate of recurrence — up to 85% of people who have experienced neck pain in the past tend to experience it again within the next 5 years. A large portion of neck pain cases are usually linked to spinal or musculoskeletal issues that require the expertise of chiropractic treatment. 

At Spinal Works, our team of chiropractors can help to identify the root cause of your neck pain and apply targeted treatment to provide long-term relief from chronic neck pain. Our neck pain treatments are also suitable for acute neck pain that is caused by a sudden impact on the group of muscles within and around the neck. 

Neck pain is often accompanied by connected symptoms that can appear based on the nature of the injury or condition of the muscles or spine. Our neck pain chiropractors in Townsville will help to identify symptoms such as:

  • Sharp pain in the neck, especially when holding it in a certain position for a long time
  • Radiating pain or ache from the neck that spreads to the back of the head, or down to the shoulders
  • Muscle tightness or spasms in the neck
  • Tension headaches that present as tight pain or pressure on both sides of the head
  • Limited range of movement in the neck, such as the inability to turn past a certain angle

Some of these symptoms may be intensified if you also experience pain in the upper, middle or lower back — this may be indicative of spinal issues that are causing the pain. Neck pain related to spinal issues can be treated and resolved with the help of chiropractic treatments.
