NECK PAIN
Neck pain can make even the simplest daily tasks uncomfortable. Whether it's from poor posture, a workplace injury, stress, or a sports incident, our osteopaths and remedial massage therapists at Dingley Health Hub will identify the root cause and get you moving freely again. Using hands-on treatment tailored to you, we'll work to relieve tension, restore mobility, and prevent it from coming back
Common Neck Conditions
Postural Neck Pain
Postural neck pain is one of the most common complaints we see at Dingley Health Hub, and it's on the rise. Long hours at a desk, working from home, or simply spending too much time looking at screens can place significant strain on the muscles and joints of the neck and upper back. Our osteopaths and remedial massage therapists will assess your posture, identify the contributing factors, and provide hands-on treatment combined with practical advice to help you sit, move, and work more comfortably.
Muscle tension and tightness
Tension and tightness in the neck and upper shoulders is something many people simply learn to live with — but it doesn't have to be that way. Stress, poor posture, overuse, and inactivity can all cause the muscles of the neck to become chronically tight and tender. Our remedial massage therapists and osteopaths at Dingley Health Hub are skilled at releasing deep muscular tension, restoring movement, and helping you feel noticeably lighter and freer in the neck and shoulders.
Muscle spasms
Neck muscle spasms can come on suddenly and be surprisingly debilitating, making it difficult to turn your head or find a comfortable position. They are often triggered by a sudden movement, poor posture, stress, or an underlying joint issue. At Dingley Health Hub, our osteopaths and remedial massage therapists will work quickly to calm the spasm, address the underlying cause, and restore normal movement so you can get back to your day as soon as possible.
Whiplash and soft tissue injuries
Whiplash is a common soft tissue injury to the neck, most often caused by a sudden jolt such as a car accident, sports collision, or fall. Symptoms can include pain, stiffness, headaches, and dizziness, and may not always appear immediately after the incident. At Dingley Health Hub, our osteopaths and remedial massage therapists are experienced in managing whiplash injuries, providing gentle hands-on treatment to reduce pain and inflammation, restore movement, and support a full recovery.
Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arm or hand
Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arm or hand that originates from the neck can be a sign of nerve involvement and should always be properly assessed. These symptoms are often associated with a disc bulge, pinched nerve, or joint irritation in the cervical spine. At Dingley Health Hub, our osteopaths will carry out a thorough assessment to identify the source of your symptoms and develop a safe, effective treatment plan to address the underlying cause.
Thoracic outlet syndrome
Thoracic outlet syndrome occurs when nerves or blood vessels become compressed in the space between the collarbone and first rib, often causing pain, numbness, and tingling in the neck, shoulder, arm, or hand. It can be related to posture, muscle tightness, or anatomical factors. Our osteopaths at Dingley Health Hub are experienced in identifying and treating thoracic outlet syndrome, using a combination of hands-on therapy and targeted exercises to relieve compression and restore normal function.
Neck disc bulge or herniation
A cervical disc bulge or herniation occurs when one of the shock-absorbing discs between the vertebrae in the neck becomes damaged or displaced, potentially irritating nearby nerves and causing pain, stiffness, or radiating symptoms into the arm. At Dingley Health Hub, our osteopaths will carefully assess your condition and provide gentle, evidence-based treatment to reduce pain, improve mobility, and support the natural healing process — without the need for invasive intervention in most cases
Neck arthritis
Neck arthritis, also known as cervical osteoarthritis or cervical spondylosis, is a common condition in which the cartilage and bones of the cervical spine gradually break down over time. It can cause persistent neck pain, stiffness, grinding or clicking sensations, and in some cases, headaches or radiating symptoms into the arms. While arthritis cannot be reversed, the right treatment can make a significant difference to your comfort and quality of life. At Dingley Health Hub, our osteopaths and remedial massage therapists will work with you to manage your symptoms, maintain as much mobility as possible, and keep you active and independent for longer.
