We at the Back Dr in Albion Parkrail use science-backed chiropractic care to target the root causes of neck pain…so you can reclaim your life, not just mask symptoms.
Most people assume neck pain is from “bad posture” or sleeping wrong. But those are just triggers or symptoms…not the problem itself. In our 30+ years in the Illawarra, we’ve found three hidden causes that often go untreated and when left alone, they worsen over time.
Cervical Facet Joint Dysfunction
These small joints in the back of your neck guide your head movements. When they stiffen or become irritated, often from repetitive strain, past accidents, or uneven load. They send deep, gnawing pain and often headaches.
Ligament Laxity (Instability)
Think of neck ligaments as your spinal seatbelts. If they overstretch from injury, whiplash, or ongoing strain, your spine becomes less stable. Muscles have to overwork to compensate, resulting in pain, fatigue, and sometimes nerve irritation.
Myofascial Trigger Points
“Knots” aren’t just uncomfortable…they can create referred pain (into your head, shoulders, or arms). Our remedial massage and chiropractic combo targets those stuck areas, helping tissue “reset” and function again.
We don’t just block pain, we correct what’s broken.
Our goal is clear: don’t guess. Know.
From here, we build a care plan tailored to your body, your symptoms, and your goals.
