Why neck pain hangs around
Neck pain rarely comes from one bad moment. More often it builds: a few stiff joints in the neck or upper back, the muscles around them tightening to guard the area, and daily habits that keep loading the same spot. Stretching for 30 seconds can feel good, but it rarely undoes eight hours at a screen.
That’s why we look at the whole chain (neck, upper back, shoulders and how you sit, sleep and work) rather than just rubbing the sore bit.
Sound familiar?
Your head weighs about 5kg
Now watch what happens when it drifts.
Approximate neck load

If anything needs a medical opinion or imaging first, we’ll say so and refer you.

Many headaches start at the base of the skull. See our headache page for more.
How we help
Gentle care for necks of every age
Once we know what’s driving your neck pain, your chiropractor will explain your options. Care may include precise manual adjustments, the low-force Activator instrument, mobilisation and soft-tissue work, plus simple changes to your desk set-up, pillow and screen habits.

FAQs
Neck pain questions, answered
Can a chiropractor help with neck pain and stiffness?
Chiropractic care can help many people with mechanical neck pain and stiffness. At ChiropracticHUB in Bibra Lake we check how each level of your neck and upper back moves, along with posture, muscle tension and nerve function, then use gentle adjustments and mobilisation where suitable. If your neck pain needs another type of care, we will tell you and refer you on.
What causes “desk neck” or “phone neck”?
Your head weighs roughly 5kg upright, and the further it drifts forward the more load your neck and upper-back muscles have to hold, hour after hour, day after day. Long screen time, laptop set-ups, driving and sleeping awkwardly can all leave neck joints stiff and the surrounding muscles tight and guarded.
Is a neck adjustment safe?
Every new patient at ChiropracticHUB has a full health history and neurological, orthopaedic and spinal assessment first, so we can check whether neck adjustments are appropriate for you. Techniques range from manual adjustments to low-force options such as the Activator instrument and mobilisation, and you can always ask for a gentler approach.
My neck pain comes with pins and needles in my arm. Can you help?
Arm pins and needles, numbness or weakness can mean a nerve is being irritated. Your assessment includes nerve tension tests and reflex and strength checks to work out what is involved. Depending on what we find, we may recommend imaging or refer you to your GP before, or alongside, chiropractic care.
How much is a neck pain assessment at ChiropracticHUB?
New patients start with a $69 Neck & Spine Assessment of up to 45 minutes at our Bibra Lake clinic, including a health history, neurological, orthopaedic and spinal assessment, and a measured postural analysis. No referral is needed, and most private health funds can be claimed on the spot.
