What we treat

Neck pain chiropractor in Elephant & Castle, London

Stiff, aching necks are often a load problem — hours at a desk, restricted joints, and muscles working hard to hold a sustained position.

Why does my neck hurt?

Most neck pain that doesn't follow an injury is mechanical: restricted movement in the neck and upper-back joints, plus muscle tension from sustained postures such as desk work, screens and phones. The tightness you feel is often a consequence rather than the cause.

How does MotionFix treat neck pain?

Treatment aims to restore movement in restricted joints, ease the muscles that are overworking, and address the upper back and shoulders, which often add to neck load. You'll also get specific changes and exercises to reduce the chance of it returning.

What if my neck pain tracks with my working week?

If your pain follows your working week, treatment is only part of it — changing what loads the area matters too. We build that into the plan.

Neck Pain — common questions

Can a chiropractor help with tension headaches from my neck?

It may. When headaches are neck-related (cervicogenic), assessing and treating the neck is a reasonable approach. See our headaches page for more detail.

Is neck manipulation safe?

No treatment is completely risk-free. Neck manipulation is widely used by registered chiropractors, and the most common side effects are short-lived soreness or stiffness. You'll be assessed and screened first, the risks are discussed with you before treatment, and other techniques can be used if manipulation isn't suitable for you.

Get it assessed properly.
