Desk and postural neck pain

Neck pain symptoms we treat
Pain & stiffness
Mechanical neck pain, reduced range of movement and difficulty turning to drive, work or sleep comfortably.
Neck-related headaches
Tension or cervicogenic headaches associated with neck stiffness, sustained positions and sensitive upper-neck joints or muscles.
Shoulder & arm symptoms
Pain radiating into the shoulder or arm, including tingling or altered sensation when a nerve may be involved.
Understanding your condition
Screening radiating pain
When symptoms travel into the arm, assessment includes nerve sensitivity, strength, reflexes and sensation. This distinguishes local referred pain from nerve involvement and guides safe treatment or direct MRI referral.

Common questions
- Can neck pain cause headaches?
- Yes. Headaches related to the neck often accompany stiffness and are influenced by neck movement or sustained posture. We assess the pattern and screen for symptoms needing medical review.
- What if pain travels into my shoulder or arm?
- Radiating pain can come from neck joints, muscles or an irritated nerve. We include neurological tests of sensation, strength and reflexes where appropriate.
- Can you arrange an MRI?
- Yes. If imaging is clinically appropriate, we can refer you directly to an MRI provider without requiring a GP referral.
- Do I need a GP referral?
- No. You can book directly as a self-paying patient.
