Neck Pain & Whiplash Chiropractor | Melbourne CBD
Neck pain is one of the most common complaints among CBD office workers, often linked to long hours at a desk and screen-focused posture. Whiplash is a related but distinct injury, typically caused by a sudden jolt to the neck — most often from a car accident — that can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion.
What causes neck pain?
Common causes
- Poor desk posture and prolonged screen use ("tech neck")
- Muscle strain or tension
- Joint restriction in the cervical spine
- Degenerative changes over time
- Whiplash-type trauma
Acute vs chronic neck pain
Acute (including whiplash)
Sudden onset, often after trauma or an awkward sleeping position. May include stiffness, restricted range of motion, and associated headaches.
Chronic
Ongoing tension or stiffness lasting three months or more, sometimes with recurring headaches linked to the neck.
How our high-tech treatments may help
