Neck Pain & Headaches Chiropractor Robina

Neck pain and neck-related headaches

Neck pain is often linked to posture, long hours at a desk or phone, sleeping position, sport or an old injury. Some headaches can come from the joints and muscles of the neck. These are called cervicogenic headaches, and they are different from other headache types.

A careful examination helps work out whether your neck is involved. If your symptoms point to something else, we will refer you to the right health professional.

What we do

• A detailed history and examination of your neck, shoulders, nerves and posture
• A digital posture scan
• Imaging referral only when clinically indicated
• A plain-language explanation of what we found
• If chiropractic suits you, a plan that may include gentle adjustments, corrective exercises, posture advice and neck traction (decompression)

Neck traction and decompression

Where the natural curve of the neck has been lost, or posture is contributing, controlled neck traction, often called neck decompression, may be part of your plan. As the largest CBP practice on the Gold Coast, we measure your neck and posture first and re-check along the way. Read more on our spinal traction and decompression page.

When to get urgent help

Seek urgent medical care for a sudden, severe headache unlike any you have had, headache with fever or a stiff neck, vision changes, weakness, difficulty speaking, or symptoms after a significant injury.
